How It Works

Visualize Your Commute Time

Make better decisions about when to leave by understanding how traffic patterns affect your commute throughout the day.

What is CommuteGraph?

CommuteGraph is a web-based tool that analyzes how your commute time varies with different departure times. Instead of checking traffic once, we query multiple departure times throughout your specified window to give you a complete picture of traffic patterns.

Whether you're planning a move, starting a new job, or just want to optimize your daily schedule, CommuteGraph helps you make data-driven decisions about your commute.

Data Accuracy

Powered by Google Routes API

CommuteGraph uses the same traffic prediction technology that powers Google Maps. Our calculations include:

  • Real-time traffic conditions
  • Historical traffic patterns for specific times and days
  • Traffic-aware optimal routing

Important Limitations

While our predictions are generally accurate, actual commute times can vary due to:

  • Unexpected weather conditions
  • Accidents or emergency situations
  • Special events or road closures not reflected in advance
  • Day-to-day variations in traffic patterns

CommuteGraph provides estimates for planning purposes. Always leave buffer time for unexpected delays.
