<p>A computer system (10) and a method for determining a travel scheme minimizing travel costs for an organization, where the organization expects to purchase travel trips for a plurality of travelers for a plurality of travel links served by at least one carrier. The system comprises a data input device (54) for receiving travel information relating to the carriers and the links, a data storage device (34) for storing the received travel information, a processor (32) and a data output device (38). From the travel information, an objective function representing a travel cost for the travel trips and a set of constraints comprising restrictions relating to the function are constructed. A solution to the function is determined that satisfies the constraints and minimizes the travel cost. A report is generated by the data output device.</p> |
