Therefor I've developed a raster program "r.traveltime" which calculates the travel time for each cell in a basin from outputs of r.watershed and r.fill.dir. There is much literature about this procedure available but there's a lag of available software (GRASS and even ArcGIS do not come with this function). The personal need an the lag of available programs were the reason for me to develop a new program for GRASS GIS. I am not a programming expert, so the program is very simple and far away from being perfect.

Using the version in GRASS 6 Addons, I have made an attempt to port it to
GRASS GIS 7 in
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/56190

I don't see any reasonable result with the provided example, in case
you are still listening here, would you be willing to check my
changes? (anybody else welcome too!)

thanks
