About routeRANK

routeRANK provides a software solution for travel planning. Unlike other solutions that consider only one means of transport at a time, routeRANK addresses the entire travel route by integrating rail, road and air connections. In a single search, routeRANK's patent-pending technology finds and ranks the best possible travel routes, allowing users to sort them according to their priorities such as price, travel time and CO2 emissions.

routeRANK offers custom developed versions of its proprietary software to corporate customers and organizations, for their internal use or use on their own website, in travel and logistics. For more information, see the Business applications section.

The routeRANK public website illustrates one fully functioning version of the software. Although here the focus is on European travel, airports and flight connections outside Europe are integrated. A widget is freely available for those who wish to easily integrate this routeRANK functionality to their own website.

“routeRANK is an intelligent tool that will allow users to make an informed, carbon conscious decision for specific journeys and travel routes. This system will make informed travel choices possible which are not only cost- and time-efficient but also benefit the environment.”

Dr Klaus Töpfer, former Executive Director of the
United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
