How do we Calculate Average Travel Time?

This metric refers to the average amount of time taken by a vehicle to pass through this pair of legs of the intersection.

This metric refers to the average amount of time taken by a vehicle to pass through this pair of legs of the intersection.

To calculate the entry and exit points of the vehicle at each leg of the intersection, we use a buffer distance of 15 metres from the circle provided by the user, thus the circle size affects the travel time. The difference between the first point of entry (within the 15-metre buffer) and the last point of exit (within the same buffer) gives us the travel time through the intersection.
