In this chapter, we study polynomial algorithms which find distances in weighted and unweighted digraphs as well as some related complexity results. We consider bounds on certain distance parameters of a digraph and describe several results on minimizing (and maximizing) the diameter of an orientation of a graph. We study some applications of distances in digraphs to the travelling salesman problem, the one-way street problem and the gossip problem.
