Travel Time Matrix API Use Cases

TravelTime offers three different endpoints for calculating travel times and distances between locations. Each endpoint fits a use case based on performance, configurability and country support requirements.

  • Detailed endpoint comparison is available here.
  • Quickly test each endpoint in the API Playground.

Integrate travel time search functionality into consumer-facing sites with potentially hundreds of thousands of listings. These listings could include properties, jobs, hotels, or any other items where location is crucial.

These applications usually already have location-based searches, such as straight line distance search or a bounding box.

Customer case studies

Below are links to some of the live customer implementations that utilise the Travel Time Matrix API.

Demo applications

Below are links to two demo applications that showcase the various ways in which the Travel Time Matrix API can be used in different search applications.

Filter search results by travel time

Allow users to select their desired search location as well as their preferred transport mode and maximum journey time. Only show results that are reachable based on these preferences.

Filter search results by travel time

Improve search relevancy

Increase conversions by ranking the most relevant results for each user at the top of the page. Combine travel times with other important features to create a results page that prioritises user needs.
