ISOCHRONES
Unlimited isochrones for one fixed cost
Build without limitations using TravelTime’s fast, powerful and flexible isochrone API.
Performance
Industry-leading API performance
Improve maps and isochrone performance with TravelTime’s high-performance API.
Powering the world’s largest applications, TravelTime generates thousands of precise time maps in less than 100 milliseconds - that’s faster than the blink of an eye.
Accuracy
Unparalleled breadth and depth of data
Time map isochrones are always more reflective of the real-world than distance radius.
TravelTime consistently outperforms industry leaders - calculating accurate, global isochrones in a more cost-effective model.
Public Transport
Unbeatable public transit coverage
Our global public transit database is the most comprehensive out there.
Generate driving, walking, cycling, public transit and multimodal isochrones up to max. of 4 hours.
Caching
Use your data with freedom
Enterprise agreements for caching, allowing you to store and re-purpose results with more flexibility and freedom.
Customisation
Create the isochrones your business needs
Stop settling for approximated shapes. Use the most detailed and configurable isochrones on the market.
Go beyond transport mode and configure shape granularity, snapping behaviour, number of polygons, and more.
Transform the way you connect locations
Isochrones API
The Isochrone API creates reachable areas based on a maximum travel time. They can be single or multi-polygons.
Fixed pricing that allows you to scale
TravelTime is the first API of its kind to not charge by usage or transaction-based pricing. We build with you in mind.
Built for performance and scale
Sales Territory Planning
Define and visualise sales territories based on travel time to optimise coverage and resource allocation.

Isochrone API FAQs
What is an isochrone?
An isochrone is a map or area that shows all locations reachable within a specified travel time from a starting point using a chosen mode of transport. For example, a 30-minute isochrone for driving shows all places you can reach within 30 minutes by car.
How do TravelTime Isochrones work?
TravelTime Isochrone API generates travel-time-based areas using real-world data for various transport modes. You select a start point, transport mode, and maximum travel time, and the tool calculates the reachable area, considering road networks, traffic, and public transit schedules.
Can I customise the travel time or transport mode in isochrones?
Yes! You can specify travel times (e.g. 10, 25, or 30 minutes) and select the transport mode. This flexibility allows you to create isochrones tailored to your specific requirements.
How accurate are the TravelTime isochrones?
TravelTime isochrones are highly accurate, using up-to-date road networks, traffic data, and public transit schedules to reflect real-world conditions. This ensures the isochrones represent realistic travel times.
What formats are supported for isochrone outputs?
TravelTime Isochrone API supports multiple response formats, including JSON, GeoJSON, and WKT.
