BCD Travel partnered with technology firm routeRank to offer travelers an analysis of possible transportation options for each leg of a trip.

RouteRank's engine "blends traditional sources with less traditional ones used by business travelers like public transportation routes and schedules as well as drive times and fuel prices," according to BCD. The travel management company initially will target clients with heavy European travel, and offers routeRank functionality through agents and "lightly integrated" with the client's booking tool. BCD plans future development including "deeper integration in the online booking process and the incorporation of corporate policies and rates at the point of sale."
