A method and system for computing the price for the transportation of goods on a route are provided where the route has at a first segment and a second segment adjacent the first segment. The goods are transported on the first segment by a mode of transportation other than a train and are transported on the second segment by a train. A computer is caused to deliver information to a user prompting the user to enter at the computer information conveying one or more characteristics of the first segment. The computer is also caused to deliver information to the user prompting the user to enter at the computer information conveying one or more characteristics of the second segment. A price for the transportation of the goods on the route is then computed at least in part on the basis of the characteristics of the first segment entered by the user and the characteristics of the second segment entered by the user.
1) A computer readable storage medium containing a program element for execution by a CPU for computing a price for the transportation of goods on a route having at a first segment and a second segment adjacent the first segment, the goods being transported on the first segment by a mode of transportation other than a train, the goods being transported on the second segment by a train, said program element comprising:
2) A method for computing the price for the transportation of goods on a route having at a first segment and a second segment adjacent the first segment, the goods being transported on the first segment by a mode of transportation other than a train, the goods being transported on the second segment by a train, comprising:
3) A method for providing a quote for the price for the transportation of goods on a route having at a first segment and a second segment adjacent the first segment, the goods being transported on the first segment by a mode of transportation other than a train, the goods being transported on the second segment by a train, comprising:
4) A server system for computing a quote for the price for the transportation of goods on a route having at a first segment and a second segment adjacent the first segment, the goods being transported on the first segment by a mode of transportation other than a train, the goods being transported on the second segment by a train, said server system containing a program element for execution by a CPU, said program element comprising:
5) A client-server system for computing a quote for the price for the transportation of goods on a route having at a first segment and a second segment adjacent the first segment, the goods being transported on the first segment by a mode of transportation other than a train, the goods being transported on the second segment by a train, comprising:
