Zusammenfassung:This invention generally relates to a system for use in market analysis. More particularly, the system relates to using geographical map databases and geographical travel time information to determine a demand and supply for a market area. A market analysis system uses travel time to define a relevant market area. A map is generated using stored geographical map information around a selected geographical point or area, and a travel time around the geographical point or area is selected. A trace is formed on the map around the geographical point within the travel time using travel time data, and market information is gathered from a database for the defined geographical area.
