Isochrone Map (Drive-Time Contour)
Technical Details & Mathematical Formulation
Isochrones are computed by running shortest-path graph algorithms (such as Dijkstra algorithm or Contraction Hierarchies) over street network graphs with edge weights representing speed limits, road hierarchy, turn penalties, and traffic congestion.
