The **road traffic** also has an impact if you specify a specific departure time. ![isochrone-dialogue-window](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/03_isochrone_dialog-1.png?width=422&name=03_isochrone_dialog-1.png) #### Multiple Isochrones/Isodistances:      You can generate **multiple zones** at once by typing multiple periods of time or different distances, separated by **commas.** The tool allows you to represent these areas using a wide variety of colour palettes. ![isochrone-multiple-time](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/04_isochrone_multiple_time.png?width=688&name=04_isochrone_multiple_time.png) #### Comparison of Different Scenarios:      The option "**Clear previous results**" allows you to add multiple scenarios from different locations on the map. ![isochrone-multiple-scenarios](https://knowledge.cartovista.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/isochrone-multiple-scenarios.png?width=688&name=isochrone-multiple-scenarios.png) #### Spatial Intersection:      Make a deeper analysis using the **Spatial Intersection tool**. You will then get the list of all objects of a layer included in an isochrone or isodistance area.
