INRIX Drive Time is a cloud-based mapping and analytics tool designed to help users identify properties or locations that fall within a specified drive time from a chosen address. The tool leverages real-world traffic data and typical traffic conditions to calculate and visualize areas accessible within a set travel time, considering variables such as time of day, day of week, and direction of travel. Users can define arrival or departure times, set maximum drive durations, and avoid specific routes (e.g., ferries). The resulting drive time polygons are displayed on an interactive map, allowing users—such as real estate professionals, homebuyers, or urban planners—to filter and analyze listings or locations based on actual commute times rather than distance alone. This approach supports more informed decision-making for property searches, site selection, and urban mobility planning.
