Geographic Distance and Travel Time Calculator

This Python script calculates the geodesic distance between two geographic coordinates and estimates travel time based on a given average speed. It uses the geopy library to compute distances.

Features

• Input coordinates for two locations (latitude and longitude) interactively.
• Calculate the distance between the two coordinates in kilometers.
• Estimate the travel time based on a given average speed (in km/h).

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x installed on your system.

Setup

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/king04aman/All-In-One-Python-Projects.git
   cd All-In-One-Python-Projects/Geographic Distance

2. Create and activate a virtual environment

• For macOS/Linux:

  python3 -m venv venv
  source venv/bin/activate

• For Windows:

  python -m venv venv
  venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install the required dependencies

   The required packages are listed in requirements.txt. Install them using the following command:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

   Note: The main dependency is geopy for calculating distances based on geodesic coordinates.

Usage

1. Run the script:

   python geographic_distance.py

2. Enter the coordinates (latitude and longitude) of the two locations when prompted.

3. Enter the average speed in km/h to calculate the travel time.

   Example input:

   Enter the latitude and longitude of the first location (lat1, lon1) Example: 40.7128, -74.006: 52.5200, 13.4050
   Enter the latitude and longitude of the second location (lat2, lon2) Example: 37.7749, -122.4194: 48.8566, 2.3522
   Enter the average speed in km/h Example: 60: 80
   

   Example output:

   Distance between the two coordinates: 878.84 kilometers
   Estimated travel time: 10.99 hours
