Provided herein is a method for establishing lane-level data from probe data. Methods may include receiving probe data points associated with a plurality of vehicles; determining, for each of the probe data points, a location and road segment corresponding to the location; generating, from the probe data points associated with a first road segment, a cell-density image of the first road segment, where the cell-density image represents a volume of probe data points at each of a plurality of cells of a grid overlaid on the first road segment; applying a deconvolution method to the cell-density image to obtain a refined cell-density image having a lower degree of data point spread; determining, from the refined cell-density image, a number of paths along the first road segment, where each path represents a lane; and computing, from the refined cell-density image, lane-level properties of the probe data of the first road segment.
