Formula and methodology
Formula: Estimated time = distance/base speed + elevation gain/climbing rate.
The model adds horizontal travel time and a separate vertical-gain time allowance so assumptions can be changed independently.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Trail distance — km; minimum 0; maximum 1000000
- Horizontal travel speed — km/h; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000
- Elevation gain — m; minimum 0; maximum 1000000
- Climbing rate — m/h; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Trail distance | 10 |
| Horizontal travel speed | 5 |
| Elevation gain | 500 |
| Climbing rate | 400 |
Estimated time = 3.25 hours.
Assumptions and limits
- Distance is kilometres, speed kilometres per hour, and elevation units are metres.
- Base speed and climbing rate are positive average planning inputs.
- Terrain, descents, breaks, weather, fitness, navigation, and safety are not modeled.
