CAPABILITIES

What the Catchment Area API delivers

Travel-time isochrone calculation

Generate polygons showing all areas reachable within a defined travel time from any origin point. Used for service area mapping, coverage analysis, and accessibility planning.

Distance-based catchment areas

Define catchment zones by maximum travel distance rather than time. Returns the geographic area reachable within a given distance — regardless of road speed or traffic.

Multiple vehicle type support

Calculate catchment areas for different transport modes — truck, car, pedestrian, bicycle, and public transit. Each mode uses appropriate road network and speed assumptions.

Real-time and historical traffic

Catchment boundaries factor in current or historical traffic patterns. Service areas calculated during peak hours are visibly smaller than off-peak results — accurately reflecting real operational reach.

Batch processing — multiple seed points

Calculate catchment areas for many origin points in a single API call. Useful for comparing coverage across multiple depot locations, store sites, or fleet bases simultaneously.

REST API · JSON responses

Returns catchment polygons as GeoJSON — ready for rendering on maps, spatial analysis, or integration into GIS and logistics platforms. No proprietary SDK required.
