The invention relates to a method, apparatus and computer program product for estimating a travel time of a travel route. The method comprises the steps of determining a travel route having a travel start point 404 and a travel end point 407, subdividing the travel route into at least a first and a second section, each section having a section start point being represented by a position of a start vehicle travelling on said route and a section end point being represented by a position of an end vehicle travelling on said route, wherein the end vehicle of the first section is the start vehicle of the second section that follows after the first section, determining a position 502 of the start vehicle and the end vehicle for each section, determining for each section a distance between the start vehicle and the end vehicle of each section based on the determined positions, determining for each section a value of a parameter relating to the start vehicle and/or the end vehicle, and estimating the travel time from the travel start point to the travel end point on the basis of the determined distances and parameter values for each section.
