Abstract: A computer system for providing an integrated representation of transport service levels for routes in a transport system comprising a multiplicity of connectable stations is disclosed. The computer system comprises a processing unit, an interface unit for communication with said processing unit and a memory unit. The system is configured to store in the memory unit a short term schedule of individual instances of transport provider route legs, each route leg corresponding to a directly connectable station pair. The system is configures to further store in the memory unit service level data representative of one or more transport service levels ascribed to one or more route leg instances. The service level data comprised for the or each transport service level a service level identifier identifying the transport service level and at least one service attribute representing a characteristic of the transport service level.

Abstract: A computer system for providing an integrated representation of routes in a transport system is disclosed. The computer system comprises a multiplicity of connectable stations. Data is obtained from a plurality of transport providers. The computer system includes a processing unit, an interface unit for communication with the processing unit, and a memory unit. The computer system is configured to store a short term schedule of individual instances of the route legs each route leg corresponding to a directly connectable station pair. A route segment table, each route segment corresponding to an individual instance of said route legs, or combinations of individual instances of said route legs, is derived from the short term schedule.

Abstract: A computer system for providing a centralised register of transport provider permanent booking agreements between a plurality of transport providers and a plurality of forwarders is dislosed. The booking agreements relate to capacity on routes between stations in a transport system. The computer system includes a processing unit, an interface unit for communication with said processing unit, and a memory unit. The computer system is configured to receive one or more transport provider allotment templates from a plurality of transport providers. Each allotment template comprises template data representing a permanent booking agrement between a transport provider and a forwarder. The template data comprises data representative of one or more route leg instances and data representative of an agreement capacity value for at least one of said one or more route leg instances. The computer system is configured to store a record of said allotment templates in the memory unit.
