Abstract

L'invention concerne des procédés et des systèmes fournissant des informations relatives aux économies associées à diverses possibilités de voyage. Ces systèmes reçoivent et analysent un itinéraire de voyage spécifique et déterminent un ensemble d'itinéraires de rechange comparables à l'itinéraire de voyage spécifié, sur la base de règles déterminées associées au voyage. La valeur de chaque itinéraire de rechange, la valeur de l'itinéraire spécifié et la différence entre les deux est déterminée et l'utilisateur en est informé.Methods and systems provide information relating to savings associated with various travel options. These systems receive and analyze a specific travel route and determine a set of alternative routes comparable to the specified travel route, based on specific rules associated with the trip. The value of each alternative route, the value of the specified route and the difference between the two is determined and the user is informed.
