How does Skillo calculate travel time?

For every assigned shift Skillo plots the fastest Google Maps route (driving or transit) from departure to destination and applies that duration to the shift for the 14-hour door-to-door check.

What happens when door-to-door time exceeds 14 hours?

Skillo raises a door-to-door exceedance. Add an accommodation address with proof, update travel mode, or reassign the shift to clear it.

Travel Time in Skillo

When you supply rail labour under Network Rail standard NR/L2/OHS/003, every shift counts towards the 14-hour door-to-door limit. This guide explains how Skillo calculates that travel time, and links to the fatigue reduction triggers it feeds.

General explanation

The travel time is calculated for all assigned shifts.

The travel mode options are DRIVING and TRANSIT.

The default travel mode for a candidate is determined by the Default travel mode setting on their profile. This can be configured when adding or editing a candidate.

When calculating the travel time, we plot a route in the background from the departure to the destination using the above determined travel mode. Similarly to what you would do using Google Maps manually.

The fastest route proposed by Google Maps is taken into consideration.

The travel time from that route is applied to the involved shifts.

Keep in mind that Skillo does no actual routes or travel time calculations.

Travel time feeds directly into the 14-hour door-to-door fatigue check. If the limit is exceeded, add accommodation or update the travel mode and revalidate before assigning.
