travel distance

How far traveled

Travel distance is the length of the path taken to get from one point to another, measured along the actual route rather than as a straight line.

It accounts for roads, terrain, or other real-world constraints: The travel distance by car is forty miles, though the town is only twenty miles away as the crow flies.

Common in logistics, navigation, and trip planning.
