Andrew Steele — Fri, 03 May 2013 14:00:00 +0000

This is the first in a series of technical how to articles. These are designed to give you details about the Jeppesen Journey Planner API, provide instruction on using our demo website and tips on how to integrate the available features into your own software, website or app.

We are going to start by taking a look at the isochrones feature within our demo website

Where can you get to today?

Have you ever wondered where you can get to in 2 hours by public transport from Oxford Circus? The Jeppesen Journey Planner API can now provide the answer to that query and the maps in this article are examples of how you can display the answer. The map shows you could reach any one of 58,298 public transport stops spread across the South East of Britain.

An isochrone is a line of equal time, in the same way that an isobar is a line of equal pressure on a weather map

If you would like to produce your own isochrone heat map of public transport travel times for any location covered by our 101 public transport data sets across 56 regions of the world, then you can easily do so by visiting our demo.
