Formula Used

The itinerary calculator uses the following formula to calculate travel time:

Travel Time = (Distance / Speed) + Stop Time

Where:

  • Distance = Straight-line distance between locations (calculated using Haversine formula)
  • Speed = Average speed for the selected mode of transportation
  • Stop Time = Total time allocated for stops (30 minutes per stop by default)

The calculator assumes average speeds for different modes of transportation:

  • Driving: 60 mph
  • Public Transit: 20 mph
  • Walking: 3 mph

Worked Example

Let's calculate an itinerary from New York City to Washington DC with one stop in Philadelphia.

Example Inputs:

  • Starting Location: New York City, NY
  • Destination: Washington DC
  • Stops: Philadelphia, PA
  • Mode of Transportation: Driving

The calculator will:

  1. Calculate the distance from New York to Philadelphia (95 miles)
  2. Calculate the distance from Philadelphia to Washington DC (95 miles)
  3. Add 30 minutes for the stop in Philadelphia
  4. Calculate total travel time: (95/60 + 95/60) hours + 0.5 hours = 3.25 hours

The result will show the total travel time, distance, and suggested itinerary with stops.
