An approach is provided for in-parking navigation based on mobile device sensor data, the resulted semantic events, and an estimated parking occupancy level. The approach, for example, involves receiving parking information from in-parking navigation system(s) of vehicle(s) and/or mobile device(s) associated with the vehicle(s) traveling in a parking facility with no or a positioning satellite coverage below a threshold. The parking information indicates parking spot location(s) occupied by the vehicle(s). The in-parking navigation system(s) determines the at least one parking spot location based on tracking multi-modal trajectories of the mobile device(s). The multi-modal trajectories comprise vehicle trajectory segment(s) traveling within the parking facility and pedestrian trajectory segment(s) traveling to/from pedestrian entry or exit point(s) of the parking facility. The approach also involves determining an occupancy level of the parking facility based on the parking information. The approach further involves providing the occupancy level of the parking facility as an output.
