William,

I had some interns one year use Google Maps API to get travel times. Google has a product that calculates a distance matrix. You construct a URL and send it to Google maps and it will return the travel times including traffic. It would be a cool addition to add a function to get the real time traffic and plot the isochrones as they change throughout the day with traffic. link to the API Awesome work, BTW!

Regards,

Neil

Thank you for sharing the API. There is a lot of interesting work that can be done by factoring in how time of day/traffic impacts coverage.

How did you calculate travel time? Another service, estimation or your own bespoke travel time algorithm?
POSTED BY: Bryan Johnson

TravelTime[] is a built-in Mathematica function that computes the estimated time of driving between two locations without taking traffic into account. You can even specify what method of travel you would to use with the aptly named function TravelMethods.
