TravelTime[{loc1,loc2,…}]

gives the estimated time to travel from loc1 to loc2, ….

Details and Options

  • The locations loci can be geographic entities, GeoPosition objects, or strings specifying addresses.
  • Possible options include:
  • TravelMethod "Driving"method of transportation to assume
    UnitSystem $UnitSystemunit system to be used in output
  • TravelTime does not take traffic into account.
  • For the default setting TravelMethod->"Driving", TravelTime assumes travel at the speed limits for roads.
  • TravelTime[loc1,loc2] is equivalent to TravelTime[{loc1,loc2}].
  • TravelTime[loc2,loc1] is not necessarily the same as TravelTime[loc1,loc2] as a result of one-way streets and similar issues.

Basic Examples  (1)

Compute an estimation of the duration of a trip:

Wolfram Language code: TravelTime[{Entity["City", {"Miami", "Florida", "UnitedStates"}], Entity["City", {"NewYork", "NewYork", "UnitedStates"}]}]

Scope  (4)

Time to travel between two geographic locations:

Wolfram Language code: TravelTime[{Entity["City", {"London", "GreaterLondon", "UnitedKingdom"}], Entity["City", {"Berlin", "Berlin", "Germany"}]}]

Use GeoPosition objects to define locations:

Wolfram Language code: TravelTime[{GeoPosition[{40.11, -88.24}], GeoPosition[{41.84, -87.69}]}]

Compute time to travel through several locations:

Wolfram Language code: TravelTime[{Entity["City", {"Lima", "Lima", "Peru"}], GeoPosition[{-14.06, -75.75}], Entity["City", {"Arequipa", "Arequipa", "Peru"}], Entity["City", {"Cusco", "Cusco", "Peru"}]}]

Specify locations as addresses:

Wolfram Language code: TravelTime[{"100 Trade Center Drive, Champaign, Illinois, US", Entity["City", {"Chicago", "Illinois", "UnitedStates"}]}]

Options  (2)

TravelMethod  (1)

TravelTime uses "Driving" as the default method of transportation:

Wolfram Language code: TravelTime[{Entity["Building", "EmpireStateBuilding::h583b"], Entity["Museum", "MuseumOfModernArt::nfkn8"]}, TravelMethod -> "Driving"]

Use "Walking" instead:

Wolfram Language code: TravelTime[{Entity["Building", "EmpireStateBuilding::h583b"], Entity["Museum", "MuseumOfModernArt::nfkn8"]}, TravelMethod -> "Walking"]

UnitSystem  (1)

Specify the unit system of the result:

Wolfram Language code: TravelTime[{Entity["City", {"BuenosAires", "BuenosAires", "Argentina"}], Entity["City", {"Lima", "Lima", "Peru"}]}]
Wolfram Language code: TravelTime[{Entity["City", {"BuenosAires", "BuenosAires", "Argentina"}], Entity["City", {"Lima", "Lima", "Peru"}]}, UnitSystem -> "Metric"]

Properties & Relations  (1)

Compute the estimated travel time between two locations:

Wolfram Language code: TravelTime[{Entity["City", {"Miami", "Florida", "UnitedStates"}], Entity["City", {"NewYork", "NewYork", "UnitedStates"}]}]

It can also be computed with TravelDirections:

Wolfram Language code: TravelDirections[{Entity["City", {"Miami", "Florida", "UnitedStates"}], Entity["City", {"NewYork", "NewYork", "UnitedStates"}]}, "TravelTime"]

Or as a property of a TravelDirectionsData object:

Wolfram Language code: TravelDirections[{Entity["City", {"Miami", "Florida", "UnitedStates"}], Entity["City", {"NewYork", "NewYork", "UnitedStates"}]}]
Wolfram Language code: %["TravelTime"]
