An approach is provided for contextualized determination of estimated times of arrival (ETAs) for trips. The approach involves, for example, computing an original ETA for a vehicle on a route that is subject to required events. The original ETA is computed based on pre-trip predicted events determined based on an initial set of assumptions and the required events. The approach also involves monitoring real-time location trace data of the vehicle during a monitoring period to determine actual events of the vehicle and/or driver. The approach further involves generating a real-time ETA scorecard comparing the actual events to the required events, pre-trip predicted events, and/or prior events determined for previous monitoring periods. The approach further involves determining predicted events for subsequent monitoring periods based on the real-time ETA scorecard, and determining an updated ETA based on the predicted events.
