According to the present invention, apparatus, systems, and methods are provided in which a computer (the "fare construction computer system") is programmed to construct travel fares in conformance with recognized industry rules. Fares are constructed (8) by designating a market area of an origin and destination (1). Based on the origin and destination, market lists (2) are generated and fare components are retrieved by accessing a database (4, 5, 6). The retrieved data is used to generate matrices (4, 5, 6) that can be combined in such a way that the travel fares between the two cities are constructed (8). According to one aspect of the invention, the fare construction computer system populates fare component matrices with the appropriate fare components and then combines the fare components matrices using high-speed computer computations. According to an alternative aspect of the invention, the fare construction computer system directly associates fare components by linking combinable fare components using sophisticated data structures. According to the direct association aspect of the invention, fares are constructed by creating all possible combinations of the directly associated fare components.
L'invention porte sur des appareils, systèmes et procédés dans lesquels un ordinateur (le système informatisé d'établissement de tarifs) est programmé pour établir (8) des tarifs de voyage conformément à des règles reconnues de la profession, en désignant une zone de marché origine et une zone de marché destination (1) en fonction desquelles on établit des listes (2) du marché et on récupère les composants des tarifs dans une base de données (4, 5, 6). Les données récupérées servent à former des matrices (4, 5, 6) pouvant être combinées pour donner (8) les tarifs entre deux villes. Dans une première exécution le système informatisé d'établissement de tarifs peuple les matrices de composants de tarifs, de composants de tarifs appropriés, puis combine les matrices par le biais de calculs sur ordinateurs ultrarapides. Dans une variante, l'ordinateur d'établissement de tarifs associe les composants de tarifs en reliant les combinables par des structures sophistiquées de données. En cas d'association directe, les tarifs sont établis en réalisant toutes les combinaisons possibles de composants de tarifs directement associés.
