Commute Traffic Checker (TomTom)

Purpose

Query real-time traffic data from TomTom for any route and provide the user with actionable travel advice. The script handles geocoding (resolving place names to coordinates) and routing (calculating travel time with live traffic) — all via the same TomTom API key.

Determining Origin and Destination

The origin and destination are not static — you must determine them from what the user tells you. Examples:

• "How's traffic from the office to home?" → You must know (or ask) where their office and home are.
• "Check traffic Basel to Zurich" → origin=Basel, destination=Zurich.
• "Should I leave now?" → Use previously discussed or known origin/destination. If unknown, ask.
• "What's the commute like?" → If you know the user's regular commute, use that. Otherwise, ask.
