I would like to know about how the travelDuration is determined. From what date the value returned in this field is reliable? For example, travelDuration has an high level of confidence for the year of 2014, for example? Can someone make an outline of this proccess, please?

    I believe you are asking about the Bing Maps distance matrix service. I believe that service uses an average speed/travel time value that is regularly updated.

    If you are actually asking about Azure Maps, its distance matrix service (also known as route matrix) uses a combination of real-time and predictive traffic data in its calculations based on the specified arriveBy or departAt date time.
