Plan smarter errands with travel, cost, and timing. Balance priorities, buffers, and service windows efficiently. Finish more tasks with less driving and better pacing.
| Stop | X | Y | Priority | Service | Open | Close |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grocery | 1.2 | 3.1 | 5 | 20 min | 09:00 | 20:00 |
| Pharmacy | 4.8 | 1.6 | 4 | 12 min | 08:00 | 19:00 |
| Dry Cleaner | 3.7 | 5.5 | 3 | 10 min | 10:00 | 18:00 |
| Bank | 6.2 | 4.1 | 5 | 15 min | 09:30 | 17:00 |
Distance = √((x2 − x1)² + (y2 − y1)²) × scale. Coordinates represent relative stop positions. Scale converts coordinate units into kilometers.
Travel Time = Distance ÷ (Speed ÷ Traffic Multiplier) × 60. A higher traffic multiplier reduces effective speed and increases estimated driving minutes.
Arrival = Current Time + Travel Time + Buffer. Service Start = max(Arrival, Opening Time). Departure = Service Start + Service Minutes.
Leg Cost = Distance × Cost per Kilometer + Route Minutes × Cost per Minute. Route minutes include drive, buffer, wait, and service time.
The planner uses a weighted greedy score that blends travel time, waiting time, distance, lateness penalties, and priority bonuses. Different modes shift the weighting.
No. It estimates travel from coordinate points and your scale value. That keeps the calculator self-contained and fast, but road-network tools will produce more exact driving routes.
Coordinates are relative map positions for your errands. They can come from a simple sketch, warehouse grid, neighborhood layout, or any internal planning reference.
It adjusts effective driving speed. A value above 1.00 slows the route to reflect congestion, while a value near 1.00 assumes normal conditions.
Waiting appears when you reach a stop before its opening time. The planner pauses service until that window begins, then resumes the route.
This version combines distance cost and time cost. It can represent fuel, wear, labor value, or general operating cost depending on your assumptions.
Balanced suits most mixed errands. Fastest reduces minutes. Cheapest emphasizes lower estimated cost. Priority first pushes urgent stops closer to the front.
Yes. The calculator automatically compares the optimized route against the stop order you entered and shows saved distance, time, and cost.
Yes. You can replace coordinate distances with live geocoding and route-matrix calls, then keep the same output table, scoring model, exports, and charts.
