8/7/2019 Airline Flight Information and Reservation System - Ahmed Dhaus updated one

1/96HussainThasleem Project work of C-language Cyryx College

Introduction



Introduction

Name of this topic is Airport reservation system, and I am doing thisdatabase for the organizationHUSSAIN THASLEEMMALDIVIAN

AIR LINE PRIVET LIMITED (HDM). The company was formed in

2005. This company makes easy for the peoples to travelthrough out

the word. This company is situated in the heart of Male, Maldives.

For the past few years it has been a big problem for the organization

to work in the manual system and has faced many problems that theorganization has to be ashamed of themselves. Problems like making

errors while filling the data manually.

For example: many of the times while filling the data manually they

some times give the same passenger ID to two people by mistake.

So this kind of problems should be solved as soon as possible. Due to

these problems I decided to make the manual system to a

computerized system. Now days, we find Travel agencies make

extensive use of airline flight information and reservation

systems(AFIRS) to book flights and reserve seats for passengers. Web

users are able to employ online and web-based reservation systems to

perform this task on their own. All these systems have in common

that they leverage database systems to cope with the enormous flood

of airline data. An AFIRS database system handles all information

related to the operations of the airline industry. The task of this

project is to take the role of an application developer and database



designer, study and analyze available AFIRS websites, and design and

implement parts of their functionality with an emphasis on the

database management component. The aforementioned websites will

help you identify and understand the requirements of your task. The

project extends over the whole semester, is subdivided into several

phases, and is performed by teams of four students each. The database

system that you use is your choice. You can, for example,

employcommercial DBMS like Oracle, DB2, Informix, Sybase, or

Microsoft SQL server but also public domainsystems like MySQL or

PostgreSQL. If you have another system in mind, you should ask me

and get aconfirmation first. Oracle is available either in the CISE

computer labs or can be downloaded for free

fromhttp://www.oracle.com. Free licenses are available for the other

DBMS too. You are allowed to implementyour software solution on

CISE computers in E114 or on your own laptops. Whatever kind of

database

system you select, SQL commands have to embedded into the source

code. Wrapper solutions are notallowed. Your program should be a

web-based application with any of the known approaches (for

example,

PHP, CGI, Java Applets, .NET). If you should not be familiar with

web-based programming, you will haveto gain the corresponding

knowledge yourself. In industry, you will always be confronted with

the fact that

You have to cope with knowledge gaps



C-Language

To make this data base I have used the Microsoft access software, due to the

available feature in this software I have chosen this software. This software

is software that is used in computer application to create and manage

computer-based databases on desktop computers and/or on connected

computers (a network). Microsoft Access can be used for personal

information management (PIM), in a small business to organize and manage

data, or in an enterprise to communicate with servers.

Like any other computer application, in order to use Microsoft Access, you

must first install it. After installing Microsoft Access, then you can open it.

There are various ways you can open Microsoft Access. It gets launched

like the usual products you have probably been using. As such, to start this

program, you could click Start -> (All) Programs -> Microsoft Office ->

Microsoft Office Access 2007. You can also launch it from Windows

Explorer or My Computer. To do this, locate its shortcut in Windows

Explorer or My Computer. By default, Microsoft Access 2007 is located in

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12 and its shortcut is called

MSACCESS.EXE. Once you have located it, you can then double-click it.



FEATURES IN MICROSOFTACCESS

DELETING RECORDS

You can also delete the records from the tables of the database. MS-

Access displays a confirmation dialog box to confirm the deletion.

The deleted records are permanently deleted from the tables of the

database.

SORTING RECORDS

Normally records are displayed or retrieved from the tables of

database in the same order in which they are entered. Has a very,

powerful feature to sort the records of database table according to the

contents of one or more fields. You can sort records into particular

order such as alphabetical, numerical or by date etc. The records can

be sorted into ascending or descendingorder. In ascending order,

records are organized or arranged from A to Z and a to z

alphabetically or from 0 to 9 numerically. In descending order,

records are arranged in opposite order as compare to ascending order.



QUERYING A DATABASE

a query means a request or a question. You can also retrieve

some specific record from a database by running query. A query is a

statement that specific which data is to be retrieved from the database

according to the given criteria. The specified data can be very easily

retrieved from multiple tables of database by using the query. In other

words query is a more powerful type of filter that is used to access

data of relational database. Through query, you can also delete

records, update records, sort records etc.

GENERATING REPORTS

Most have report generators that create reports from queries. A report

retrieves the data from the database tables and presents it in a

predefined manner. You can format the data accessed from databasethrough queries and print on the paper as reports or it can be saved on

the disk for future use. You can also send the generated report as e-

mail.Yourself in a very short time.



I.The Analysis



1.Description of the problem- back ground to theorganization

HussainsMaldivian air line datas are stored manuallyat

present, as a solution which is very ineffective and unreliable.

Lets have a look at the existing system.

This manual system depends entirely on paper and pen. That

is to say that all the transactions that take place and any other

necessary information considered important are recorded on

paper manually.



2.SPECIFIC OBJECTIVESa. Maintaining safe records

b.Should be easier to find for a record in the database

c. The loss of data in any corruption of any files in the

system will be avoided due to any natural case

d.Minimizing errors of the information recorded in the

system while entering to the system

e. The new system should be user friendly

f. Data entry should be fast

g.There should be a method of keeping the information from

unauthorized users.



3.DESCRIPTION OF EXSISTING SOLUTIONIn the existing system all the datas are stored manually to an excel

sheet and filed accordingly in a filing cabinet

- ethods of Data Verifi ations

ADM



Proofreading

Proofreading (also proof-reading) traditionally means reading a

proof copy of a text in order to detect and correct any errors. Modern

proofreading often requires reading copy at earlier stages as well.

Double Entry

In the double entry system transactions are entered twice in the

accounts. For example, the same car purchased will result an

increase in the "vehicle" account and a decrease in "cash" account.

Therefore, the difference between the two is that in single entry

system, transaction is entered only once and in double entry system

it is entered twice.

This is to find if any errors are present in the system. To check for

the errors an artificial made datas are fed to system and been

checked and the errors will be verified accordingly.

Two main ways of data verifications are:

- Single Method: this is also known as proof reading method

- Typing the data twice and comparing the two datas at the same

time. This method is also known as double entry method.

- Methods and medium of storage



There is a good deal of information that the computer need to

store to run efficiently. For example all the passenger records and

staff record need to be safely stored In order to deal with the

transaction information of passengers and staffs. If passenger or

staff information is lost, the ADM (Ahmed dhaus Maldivian)

would have to discard all the earlier passengers or staffs and start

getting new passengers or staffs and this would cost a lot of

money and time.

There for, the need for data storage is exceptionally high. In

Ahmed Dhaus Maldivian, there is a cabinet in the first floors.

(The first two cupboards is for the staffs section and the other

cupboard is for the passengers

In the information storage there will be cupboard named:

STAFFS: for the storage of staffs informations.

PASSENGERS PRESENT: for the storage of passengers who have

been booked for a particular day.

PASSENGERS PAST: for the storage of passengers who received

the service.

STAFFS LOG BOOK



In this log book they used to store the information of the staffs

who are working in the Ahmed Dhaus Maldivian(ADM). The

file contains the following fields:

Employee ID : This is an specific number given to the

Staffs to identify them

-Processing

Batch processing

Is execution of a series of programs ("jobs") on a computer without

manual intervention.

Batch jobs are set up so they can be run to completion without manual

intervention, so all input data is preselected through scripts or

command-line parameters. This is in contrast to "online" or interactive

programs which prompt the user for such input. A program takes a set

of data files as input, process the data, and produces a set of output

data files. This operating environment is termed as "batch processing"

because the input data are collected into batches on files and are

processed in batches by the program.

For example in this system, when the applicants apply for a job, all

the application forms are been taken at a given due date on the

counter and been updated in the system as per the satisfactory of the

given criteria.

y Ready to install and use

y Softwares for law enforcement is highly available in the

market, therefore because ofthe competition cost will be low.

Programming the system

Advantages



y Files stored in the clients server machine can be moved to

central server for easy access from any stations in the ADM

(Ahmed DhausMaldivian).

y Automated statistical reports will reduce errors made during

manual statistical report generation

y Provides exact requirements

y Meets user needs

y Only contains those features that are needed

y Software defects can be easily cleared

Disadvantages

y Staff training will take time

y Programming the whole existing system will take more time

5 DESCRIPTION OF OTHER POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS


24/96

Purchase Software

Purchasing software will solve the

problem immediately. There are several

developed law-enforcement police

softwares. Developed softwares could be purchased and installed.

Programming the system

The manual system could be fully programmed so

thatthe system can work more effectively without

loosing the documents. All the processing can be

updated automatically and the records can be kept

in the computer. Each departmentin-charge can view thedetails ofthereports which are required by them for investigation. Searching for

the details of records can be faster and accurate.

Proposed Solution

After evaluating all the solutions it is understandable that the best

conclusion or the appropriate solution is to program the existing

system. This means the automation of the manual system or



computerizing is the best solution for Ahmed Dhaus Maldivian air

linepvt.Ltd.

6. EVALUATION OF OTHER POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS

There are lots of solutions which may prove to be an effective remedy

for these problems. A few of them are explained below. And also the

company needs to cut down there 24 hoursservices, since it is not

really required.



They are:

y Decrease the force wasted during work.

y Using a calculator

y Computerizing the data by using soft wears.

y Computerizing using Tailor made soft wear

DECREASING THE FORCES ASTED DURING ORK

A possible solution is to decrease the open hours of Ahmeds

Maldivian air line ticket releasing places. One problem faced by

Ahmeds Maldivian air line is, too many employees. The reason for

this is the 24 hours service provided by Ahmeds Maldivianair line.

The possible solution is to decrease the working hour hence it

decreases the employees needed.

The solution is however very feasible and the problems faced in

the present system may be doubled up.

ADVANTAGES

ySince the number of employees decreases, more money is goingto be saved

y Can be put in to actions faster

y Other advantages as in present system other than being easy to

manage with more employees



DISADVANTAGES

y Searching, sorting, and updating processes will be much more

slowed down

y The efficiency of Ahmeds Maldivian air line decreases due to

the decrease in the number of work force

y Even though, the disadvantages faced by the companies from

the employees, may be reduced to an extant, however they do

not solve the other disadvantages faced

yThe other problems are still not solved however

USING A CALCULATOR

Using A calculator would be a solution for the current problem of

calculations, but using a calculator would not solve the problemsfaced by the air line due to the staffs, data storage problems.



How ever let us look at the advantages and the disadvantages of using

a calculator.

ADVANTAGES:

y Can be used to obtain reasonable solutions for calculations.

y A calculator is cheaper compared to getting a bigger plot or

computerizing

y Doesnt require the current force work to be changed

y The calculators can be used to check the correctness of reports

before sending them over to the airline head office from the

store

y The required information at the head office need not be checked

again and would not have to request for copies of the initial data

from which the reports were prepared from.

DISADVANTAGES:

y Most of the calculators require frequent battery changing

y Parallax errors in feeding the data to the calculator may lead to

incorrect reports, and the airline head office may have to request

again the initial data



y The task is respective and tedious may lead to incorrect input

of data by staffs

y The problem face by the air line due to staff and data storage is

yet at a standstill.

COMPUTERIZING THE DATA BY USING SOFT

EARS.

The whole system can be computerized to solve the problem. The

computerization can be done in two ways, they are by using an

available ready madesoftware package or to use a tailor made soft

wear package or to use a tailor made software.



As the heading states, here we will look at implementing a system

with available software

In computerizing the system there are a lot of advantages and are a

few disadvantages. There is a lot of computer software which can be

bought shops and even online which are really efficient for

managing aair line. But as stated earlier, there are few draw backs in

using such software.

ADVANTAGES

y Faster and efficient in processing of information;

yAutomatic generation of accounting documents like invoices,cheques and statement of account;

y With the larger reductions in the cost of hardware and software

and availability of user-friendly accounting software package, it

is relatively cheaper like maintaining a manual accounting

system;

y More timely information can be produced;

y No more manual processing of the data- all automatically been

posted to the various ledgers/accounts and

y Many types of useful reports can be generated for management

to make decisions



DISADVANTAGES

y Power failure, computer viruses and hackers are the inherent

problems of using computerized systems;

y Once data been input into the system, automatically the output

are obtained hence the data being input needs to be validated for

accuracy and completeness, we should not forget concept of

GIGO (Garbage In(Input) Garbage out ( Output) and

y Accounting system not properly set up to meet the requirement

of the business due to badly programmed or inappropriate

software or hardware or personnel problems can caused more

havoc and

y Danger of computer fraud if proper level of control and security

whether internal and external are not properly been instituted.

COMPUTERIZING USING TAILORMADE SOFT EAR

The current system can be replaced by computers.The

computerization can be done in two ways, they are by using an

available ready made software package or to use a tailor made soft

wear package or to use a tailor made software.

As the heading states, here we will look at implementing a system

with available software



Tailor made soft ware is pretty expensive compared to a software

package; how ever this soft warewould be more user friendly and easy

to use. More over, the user need not be an expert or highly qualified

in computing.

there are fewer drawbacks in getting a programmer to make the

software than to use an available software package.

ADVANTAGES

y The space occupied by 100s of log books can be replaced by acomputer system.

y The information stored on the hundreds of logs can be saved on

to CD or even a Flash Driver or even a Multimedia card which

is ants compared to the books

y Since more space is freed up due to the elimination of the books,

the space can be used to provide more room for customers and

staffs.

y The need for a wide area is eliminated

y The computer can do the work of 10-20 workers.

y Overdue customers and members can be easily spotted using

search functions

y Daily, Monthly and Annual reports can be easily generated

y Informations can be kept safe and updated using backups

y The need to register the application is eliminated

y Professional training is not needed



y No need to change the ideology of working of the existing

system, only the method is changed

DISADVANTAGES

y Developing the system would be both expensive and time

consuming

y The system requires a person who is trained to use it for

maximum efficiency

y The necessary hardware and software is expensive

y Frequent backups are required to made

y The employees utilizing the software need to be paid more

money

y The software may not be as efficient as a software package

y The cost on electricity increases slightly.

Justification Of the choice of proposed solution

In the proposed system I will use Microsoft access as back end. All

the datas will be stored in the database. The structure of the basic

programming language is very simple, particularly as to the

executable code. These two softwares will be coordinating in order to

save records, searching for a particular record and for many other

purposes that users desire.



There will not be any repeating record in the database in order to

overcome the space. All the data will be saved in a centralized server

in the Organization in order to keep a safer backup of the information

inputted to the system. Records can be generated regarding certain

thing.

The newly proposed system is fast and accurate in searching for

information about the staff or a certain activity.

In this data base three tables are being related (i e the Passenger

information table, Reservation table and the Transaction table)

Here is the screen shot of the relation ship:

-USER INTERFACE AND USER-FRIENDLINESS



In order to make it easier for the users, forms are being used

which solve the entire problems like, make easy to search for the

records and to input new records and etc.

Four forms are being used in here

Here is the screen shot of passenger information form:



In this form to make it easy for the user, buttons are there in which by

clicking it gives a particular output or any information.

Here explains the use of the buttons:

This button in form is to add a record after filling

all Required fields in the form.

This button in form is to delete after fetching from

the Record list.

This button in form is to print the details of the

passengers when ever required.

This button in the form is to close the existing form

where ever necessary.

This button in the form is to view or go to the next

record in the form.



Here is the second form that is used in this database, this form is

used to collect information of the customer and to input the

collected informations.

- METHODS OF DATAVALIDATION AND

VERIFICATION

In here to check the correctness of the database proof reading

method is being used.



Proof reading is a method, which is a kind of reading used for the

purpose of detecting errors.

For example: in here to detect the errors the database is check

from the top to down to detect if there is any errors. If there is an

error then it is corrected.

So in this way proof reading method is done to check the

correctness of the program. Also this is a time consuming method

which may take two or more than two days to detect the errors in

the program.

This also a boring method, in which the errors detecting person

should be awake.

-METHODS AND MEDIA OF STORAGE

-Back Up

In information technology, a backup or the process of backing

up refers to making copies of data so that these additional copies



may be used to restore the original after a data loss event. These

additional copies are typically called "backups." The verb is

back up in two words, whereas the noun is backup (often used

like an adjective in compound nouns).

Backups are useful primarily for two purposes. The first is to

restore a state following a disaster (called disaster recovery).

The second is to restore small numbers of files after they have

been accidentally deleted or corrupted. Data loss is also very

common. 66% of internet users have suffered from serious dataloss.

-Media Storage

A recordable CD can be used as a backup device. One advantage

of CDs is that they can in theory be restored on any machine with

a CD-ROM drive. (In practice, writable CD-ROMs are not always

universally readable.) In addition, recordable CD's are relatively



cheap. Another common format is recordable DVD. Many optical

disk formats are WORM type, which makes them useful for

archival purposes since the data can't be changed. Other

rewritable formats can also be utilized such as CD-RW or DVD-

RAM. The newer HD-DVDs and Blu-ray Discs dramatically

increase the amount of data possible on a single optical storage

disk, though, as yet, the media may be cost prohibitive for many

people. Additionally the physical lifetime of the optical disk has

become a concern as it is possible for some optical disks to

degrade and lose data within a couple of years.

- PROCESSING

In here the type of processing that can be used is batch processing

and real time transaction.



BATCH PROCESSING: The key characteristic of batch

processing is that all the data is collected first, and than the data is

input at the same time and it is processed in one go.

For example in this database,hours worked by each staff

areneeded to be collected each and every month.So, that it will be

easy to give the staffs money in a more relaxed way and by doing

this the management should not waste there time counting each

and every days the staffs worked hours. For this process in this

database batch processing is being used.

Here is a flow chart of how this works:


66/96

REAL-TIMETRANSE TION

Printed amount of

money

Calculated amount of

money



Here in this database real-time transaction is also being used to

process the data. As soon as a booking is made the system is

Immediatelyupdated by doing this process. A real-time system often

Consists of more computers, all connected via aNETWORK, and they

are 24 hours on-line.

.

In this database for example when a passenger want to book a

seat via on line or by any other facilities they will have to use

real time transaction processing to enter the data as there should

be inter action between the user and the job.

OUTPUTS



Out puts are the one that is used to make it easy for the program

user in many ways, like if the office wants to know all the

informations(passengers or any other details of passengers,

customers and staffs)

Than the user can print out the output using reports very easily

without having to search for particular information in the database

one by one.

A report is an effective way to represent the data in a printed format.

These reports can be made in different formats according to the user.

Herein this database there are 4 reports they are the:

1.All customers ahead to male

2.All the customers starting with the letter m

3.Amount paid by a particular customer

4.All employee details

Here are the screen shot of the reports:



1.All customers a head to male



2.All the customers starting with the letter m

3.Amount paid by a particular customer



4.All employee details



- MISCELLANEOUS

SECURITY USED

To protect the database antivirus software can be used.

Antivirus (oranti-virus) software is used to prevent, detect, and

remove malware, including computer viruses, worms, and trojan

horses. Such programs may also prevent and remove adware,

spyware, and other forms of malware.

For further protection and security the updated data stored in

computer can be stored in a CD, floppy or Hard disk or any other

devices. The stored database in the devises can be used for the

restoration of data after a system failure or after any other kinds

of problem. Also the data stored devices can be kept safely in a

more secure place. Places like locker room with high securities in

which unauthorized users can not enter the place can be used to

keep the devises.

This is the proof number 3. Here when the data 1060 passenger ID is

typed in the FIND HATbox and when cick the button FIND

NEXT, immediately it will display an error message as you can see

on the screen shot it will show like saying that. MS access has

finished searching all the records. The search item is not found. Also

this error message was shown as the input data (1060) is beyond the

range of the records present in the database.


84/96


Proof-4-Normal- Passenger Add Form


85/96


This is the proof 4. In here this form is used to add the new customer

information. When the passenger ID number of aparticular customer

isadded for example the ID number 1051 is typed in the passenger ID

box. when typed it will allow itto be processed. And the new record

will be stored in the passengerinformation table

Here is the table when updated

This is the new record thathas been accepted


86/96


Proof-5-Abnormal-Passenger Add Form

This is the proof 5. Here when the user is typing the data in a hurry,

he or she may make mistakes. Likewise for example he or she may

type the passenger ID number as 10k5 instead of 1085. So

immediately when you want to go on writing it will not allow further

to proceed. Instead it will display an error message saying that The

value you entered is not valid. also with this the message two options

it will show like saying that it may be you have entered a text in a

numeric field or a number that is larger than the field size.

be entered itis given a particular si e in here I have given the fild si e

of pass port number as 7 so when the data is to be enter within the

slandered value it should be processed and stored in the reservation

table. For example as you can see in the screen shot I have given the

pass port number A 645454 when typed and added it was processed.

Here is where the data is beeing stored


90/96


Proof-7-Criteria-Customers Name Starting Letter Query
