Formula Used
Estimated duration = dispatch time + loading time + ((distance ÷ vehicle speed) × traffic × weather × route × driver factor) + stop time + access delay + route strategy adjustment

The simulated actual duration adds controlled uncertainty and possible incidents. Confidence ranges widen when traffic, weather, route quality, and stop complexity become less predictable.

How to Play

1. Inspect

Review distance, traffic, weather, vehicle, parcel, stops, route conditions, and the delivery deadline.

2. Decide

Choose the fastest, shortest, toll-free, or most reliable route before entering your estimate.

3. Improve

Use the result, delay breakdown, graphs, and history to reduce your average prediction error.

Learning Notes
Traffic is nonlinear.

Gridlock can increase delays more than a simple speed reduction because queues also affect stops and parking.

Weather changes reliability.

Rain, fog, snow, ice, and storms slow travel while increasing uncertainty around the final arrival window.

Handling matters.

Large parcels, heavy loads, restricted buildings, and multiple stops add non-driving time to each route.

Fastest is not always safest.

A slightly longer reliable route can outperform a shorter route when congestion or incidents are likely.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the actual duration generated?

It starts with the logistics model, then adds controlled uncertainty and occasional difficulty-based route incidents.

What produces a high score?

Low prediction error, sensible route selection, deadline success, confidence calibration, and streak performance all contribute.

Can I use miles?

Yes. Change the distance unit in Settings. The model converts miles internally before calculating travel time.

Does parcel size affect driving speed?

It mainly affects loading, unloading, parking, and access time, while oversized loads can also constrain vehicle choice.

What does confidence measure?

It records how certain you are. Good calibration means high confidence for accurate estimates and caution for uncertain routes.

Where is progress stored?

Scores, settings, achievements, and recent history are stored locally in your browser using localStorage.
