Context: I'm working on a logical problem as part of my Msc. thesis in GIS. I want to calculate the departure time (output) based on a desired arrival time (input). I have chosen to use an API to outsource much of the coding and maintenance.
Current Problem: Tried to use the Google Distance Matrix and Google Diretions API's. Both do not allow a travel mode of driving combined with an arrival time as input.
Question: What API can be used with the (batch size 1 - 50) input of a desired arrival time (/datetime) and a transport mode of driving to give an estimated departure time/travel duration taking into account traffic conditions such as rush-hour?

After Taras Comment: Looking for free web service that calculates driving distance between 2 addresses | Question is about driving time, not driving time based on desired arrival time per se. Bing maps, google maps, HERE maps, and arcgis are recommended. As far as I have been able to find, these do not allow for specifying the 'desired arrival time' (except for public transport).
