DriveTimeFinda software computes average drive-times by road between two postcodes in the United Kingdom. It exploits multi-core processors to provide fast estimates of off-peak, drive-times by road. DrivetimeFinda uses the average driving speed for each segment of the road network, as well as road distances to compute the estimated drive-times. It provides functions which can be used for finding drive-times to the nearest hotel, garage, sports ground or other features.
