1. An itinerary planning tool comprising:
- a computing system, means to retrieve plurality of limited access operation information, means for enabling a user to input a time window whereby limiting limited access operation engagement, means for causing said computing system to calculate commute times, based on limited access operation information, between a departure location and destination of limited access operation, means for causing said computing system to create an limited access operation set that can be engaged in during said time window, based on said limited access operation information and taking into account said commute times,

Abstract
An activity-based itinerary planning tool permits a trip planner to incrementally build and itinerary starting at a selected entry point and adding activities in a step-by-step manner, by taking into account commute times for different types of transportation and entry/exit conditions for particular activities/facilities in order to present the user with lists of all activities/facilities that can be reached from the entry point or from already selected activities/facilities.

42. A software storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executed by the machine to perform method steps for itinerary planning, said method steps comprising steps of:
-
receiving a plurality of limited access operation information including periods of accessibility and location;
receiving time window input;
receiving departure location;
calculating commute times, based on limited access operation information, between said departure location and destination of activity;
assembling an limited access operation set that can be engaged in during said time window, based on said activity information and taking into account said commute times;

48. A software storage device readable by a machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executed by the machine to perform method steps for itinerary planning, said method steps comprising steps of:
-
receiving plurality of limited access operation information including periods of accessibility and location identity;
receiving plurality of location information including identity and geoposition;
receiving time window input;
receiving departure location;
calculating commute times, based on activity information, between said departure location and destination of activity;
assembling a destination list based on said departure location, said commute times and said time window;
assembling a limited access operation set based on operations'"'"' location identity matching identities in said destinations list and operations'"'"' said period of accessibility relationship to said time window. - View Dependent Claims (49, 50, 51, 52, 53)
