Not just the geocode distances but the actual street distances... You need to consider the shortest path between each point as well? Not just the geocode distances but the actual street distances…

1) Optical Computing

Although it still seems too early for now

2) Approximation Algorithm

As it is approximate, so it’s never accurate, but speeds up as accuracy gets lower
