Abstract

This research aims to develop a travel cost matrix of district level analysis zone by using distance and travel time from Google Maps as proxy variable of travel cost. The results indicated that a distance between districts from Google Maps include distance of roads in rural and urban network. Moreover, Google Maps use different speeds for calculating travel time on various road types. Therefore, Google Maps data are in accord with real travel condition and appropriate for travel cost matrix development.
