In a method for controlling transport and travel operations, the route between the starting point and the destination point is optimized to accommodate preselectable requirements and made available by means of a computer on the basis of stored general information by way of the junction points of a traffic network. Individual information concerning the accessibility of precise destination points is collected, stored and updated from the junction points of a general route network. This individual information is used, with other information, for computer-implemented optimization of the route and of the transport means.
