The Routes API\noffers different traffic model types to prioritize different factors used in\ncalculating duration in traffic. You can specify the traffic model type you'd\nlike your routes to use when calculating the duration for your routes or route\nmatrix. When you set the traffic model type, the value returned in the\n`duration` field varies depending on the traffic model you choose.\n\nBoth the Routes API `Compute Routes` and\n`Compute Route Matrix` methods support traffic model types.\n\nBy default, both methods use the `BEST_GUESS` traffic model type.\n\nTo specify a traffic type\n-------------------------\n\n1. Set your origin and destination.\n\n2. If your departure time is in the future, include the time using the\n `departure_time` parameter. If you don't specify a departure time, it\n defaults to now.\n\n3. Set the `routingPreference` parameter to `TRAFFIC_AWARE_OPTIMAL`. Setting the\n `routingPreference` to `TRAFFIC_UNAWARE` or `TRAFFIC_AWARE` is incompatible\n with the `trafficModel` parameter.\n\n4. Select the traffic model to use with the `trafficModel` parameter and\n one of the following types:\n\n - `BEST_GUESS` (default) to request that the returned `duration_in_traffic`\n is the best estimate of travel time given what is known about both\n historical traffic conditions and live traffic. Live traffic becomes more\n important the closer the `departure_time` is to now. Using the default type\n of `BEST_GUESS` gives the most useful predictions for the vast majority of\n use cases.\n\n - `PESSIMISTIC` to request that the returned `duration_in_traffic` models the\n time based on the historical traffic conditions on bad traffic days.\n This type gives an estimated duration that is most likely **longer** than\n the actual travel time on most days. Occasional days with particularly bad\n conditions may still exceed this estimate.\n\n - `OPTIMISTIC` to request that the returned `duration_in_traffic` models the\n time based on the historical traffic conditions on good traffic days.\n This type gives an estimated duration that is most likely **shorter** than\n the actual travel time on most days. Occasional days with particularly\n good conditions may still be faster than this estimate.\n\n For example: \n\n ```json\n \"trafficModel\": \"OPTIMISTIC\"\n ```\n\n \u003cbr /\u003e\n\n | **Note:** It is possible the `BEST_GUESS` travel time prediction may be shorter than `OPTIMISTIC` or longer than `PESSIMISTIC`, due to the way `BEST_GUESS` integrates live traffic information.\n5. Specify the `routes.duration` field in the field mask.\n\n **REST** \n\n ```json\n -H X-Goog-FieldMask: routes.duration\n ```\n\n **RPC** \n\n ```gdscript\n const (fieldMask = \"routes.duration\")\n ```\n\nWhen the Routes API estimates time in traffic, it uses the traffic\nmodel type you've requested.\n\nExample: Traffic model request\n------------------------------\n\nFor example, this request specifies that the duration be estimated using the\n`OPTIMISTIC` traffic model type at a specific departure time: \n\n```json\ncurl -X POST -H 'content-type: application/json' -d ' {\n\"origin\": {\n \"address\": \"Kyoto, Japan\"\n },\n\"destination\": {\n \"placeId\": \"ChIJrYtcv-urAWAR3XzWvXv8n_s\"\n },\n\"travelMode\": \"DRIVE\",\n\"routingPreference\": \"TRAFFIC_AWARE_OPTIMAL\",\n\"trafficModel\": \"OPTIMISTIC\"\n}' \\\n-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \\\n-H 'X-Goog-Api-Key: YOUR_API_KEY' \\\n-H 'X-Goog-FieldMask: routes.duration' \\\n'https://routes.googleapis.com/directions/v2:computeRoutes'\n```\n\nThis request returns the estimated duration using the `OPTIMISTIC` traffic model\ntype for the trip: \n\n```json\n\"duration\": \"1238s\"\n```\n\nIf you change the traffic model type to `PESSIMISTIC`, the returned duration is\nlonger: \n\n```json\n\"duration\": \"2436s\"\n```\n| **Note:** If you do not specify a `departureTime`, the implied departure is the request time. This means that you may get different values depending on when the request is sent."]]
