traveltimepy 2.0.3

"Python Interface to Travel Time."

Travel Time Python SDK

Travel Time Python SDK helps users find locations by journey time rather than using ‘as the crow flies’ distance.
Time-based searching gives users more opportunities for personalisation and delivers a more relevant search.

Usage

Authentication

In order to authenticate with Travel Time API, you will have to supply the Application Id and Api Key.

from traveltimepy.sdk import TravelTimeSdk

sdk = TravelTimeSdk('YOUR_API_ID', 'YOUR_API_KEY')

Isochrones (Time Map)

Given origin coordinates, find shapes of zones reachable within corresponding travel time.

from datetime import datetime

from traveltimepy.dto import Coordinates
from traveltimepy.dto.requests import Range
from traveltimepy.dto.requests.time_map import DepartureSearch, ArrivalSearch, Union, Intersection
from traveltimepy.transportation import PublicTransport, Driving

departure_search1 = DepartureSearch(
    id='search_1',
    coords=Coordinates(lat=51.507609, lng=-0.128315),
    departure_time=datetime.now(),
    travel_time=900,
    transportation=PublicTransport()
)
departure_search2 = DepartureSearch(
    id='search_2',
    coords=Coordinates(lat=51.507609, lng=-0.128315),
    departure_time=datetime.now(),
    travel_time=900,
    transportation=Driving()
)
arrival_search = ArrivalSearch(
    id='search_3',
    coords=Coordinates(lat=51.507609, lng=-0.128315),
    arrival_time=datetime.now(),
    travel_time=900,
    transportation=PublicTransport(),
    range=Range(enabled=True, width=3600)
)
union = Union(
    id='search_4',
    search_ids=['search_2', 'search_3']
)
intersection = Intersection(
    id='search_5',
    search_ids=['search_2', 'search_3']
)
response = sdk.time_map(
    [arrival_search],
    [departure_search1, departure_search2],
    [union],
    [intersection]
)

Distance Matrix (Time Filter)

Given origin and destination points filter out points that cannot be reached within specified time limit.

from datetime import datetime

from traveltimepy.dto import Location, Coordinates
from traveltimepy.dto.requests import FullRange, Property
from traveltimepy.dto.requests.time_filter import DepartureSearch, ArrivalSearch
from traveltimepy.transportation import PublicTransport

locations = [
    Location(id='London center', coords=Coordinates(lat=51.508930, lng=-0.131387)),
    Location(id='Hyde Park', coords=Coordinates(lat=51.508824, lng=-0.167093)),
    Location(id='ZSL London Zoo', coords=Coordinates(lat=51.536067, lng=-0.153596))
]

departure_search = DepartureSearch(
    id='forward search example',
    arrival_location_ids=['Hyde Park', 'ZSL London Zoo'],
    departure_location_id='London center',
    departure_time=datetime.now(),
    travel_time=3600,
    transportation=PublicTransport(type='bus'),
    properties=[Property.TRAVEL_TIME],
    full_range=FullRange(enabled=True, max_results=3, width=600)
)

arrival_search = ArrivalSearch(
    id='backward search example',
    departure_location_ids=['Hyde Park', 'ZSL London Zoo'],
    arrival_location_id='London center',
    arrival_time=datetime.now(),
    travel_time=3800,
    transportation=PublicTransport(type='bus'),
    properties=[Property.TRAVEL_TIME, Property.FARES, Property.ROUTE],
)

response = sdk.time_filter(locations, [departure_search], [arrival_search])

Time Filter (Fast)

A very fast version of time_filter()

from traveltimepy.dto import Location, Coordinates
from traveltimepy.dto.requests import Property
from traveltimepy.dto.requests.time_filter_fast import Transportation, ManyToOne, OneToMany

locations = [
    Location(id='London center', coords=Coordinates(lat=51.508930, lng=-0.131387)),
    Location(id='Hyde Park', coords=Coordinates(lat=51.508824, lng=-0.167093)),
    Location(id='ZSL London Zoo', coords=Coordinates(lat=51.536067, lng=-0.153596))
]
many_to_one = ManyToOne(
    id='many-to-one search example',
    departure_location_ids=['Hyde Park', 'ZSL London Zoo'],
    arrival_location_id='London center',
    transportation=Transportation(type='public_transport'),
    arrival_time_period='weekday_morning',
    travel_time=1900,
    properties=[Property.TRAVEL_TIME, Property.FARES]
)
one_to_many = OneToMany(
    id='one-to-many search example',
    arrival_location_ids=['Hyde Park', 'ZSL London Zoo'],
    departure_location_id='London center',
    transportation=Transportation(type='public_transport'),
    arrival_time_period='weekday_morning',
    travel_time=1900,
    properties=[Property.TRAVEL_TIME, Property.FARES]
)

response = sdk.time_filter_fast(locations, [many_to_one], [one_to_many])

Time Filter Fast (Proto)

A fast version of time filter communicating using protocol buffers.

The request parameters are much more limited and only travel time is returned. In addition, the results are only approximately correct (95% of the results are guaranteed to be within 5% of the routes returned by regular time filter).

This inflexibility comes with a benefit of faster response times (Over 5x faster compared to regular time filter) and larger limits on the amount of destination points.

Body attributes:

• origin_coordinates: Origin point.
• destination_coordinates: Destination points. Cannot be more than 200,000.
• transportation: Transportation type.
• travel_time: Time limit;
• country: Return the results that are within the specified country

from traveltimepy.dto import Coordinates

from traveltimepy.dto.requests.time_filter_proto import OneToMany, Transportation, Country

one_to_many = OneToMany(
    origin_coordinates=Coordinates(lat=51.425709, lng=-0.122061),
    destination_coordinates=[
        Coordinates(lat=51.348605, lng=-0.314783),
        Coordinates(lat=51.337205, lng=-0.315793)
    ],
    transportation=Transportation.DRIVING,
    travel_time=7200,
    country=Country.UNITED_KINGDOM
)

response = sdk.time_filter_proto(one_to_many)

The responses are in the form of a list where each position denotes either a travel time (in seconds) of a journey, or if negative that the journey from the origin to the destination point is impossible.

Routes

Returns routing information between source and destinations.

    Location(id='ZSL London Zoo', coords=Coordinates(lat=51.536067, lng=-0.153596))

    id='departure search example',
    arrival_location_ids=['Hyde Park', 'ZSL London Zoo'],
    departure_location_id='London center',

    arrival_location_id='London center',
    arrival_time=datetime.now(),
    transportation=PublicTransport(type='bus'),
    properties=[Property.TRAVEL_TIME, Property.FARES, Property.ROUTE],
