Formula Used

The time distance calculator uses the following formula to estimate travel time:

Travel Time (hours) = Distance (km) / Average Speed (km/h)

Where:

Distance is calculated using the Haversine formula for great-circle distances between coordinates
Average speed is based on Ontario's typical travel speeds for each mode of transportation

Note: These are estimates. Actual travel times may vary due to traffic conditions, road closures, and other factors.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the travel time from Toronto to Ottawa by car:

Distance: 450 km (as calculated by the Haversine formula)
Average speed for driving in Ontario: 80 km/h
Travel Time = 450 km / 80 km/h = 5.625 hours = 5 hours and 37 minutes

Therefore, the estimated driving time from Toronto to Ottawa is about 5 hours and 37 minutes.
