CAR RENTAL SERVICES

2.1 How Car Rental Services Work

A car rental is a vehicle that can be used temporarily for a period of time with a fee.
Renting a car assists people to get around even when they do not have access to
their own personal vehicle or don't own a vehicle at all. The individual who want
to rent a car must first contact the car rental company for the desire vehicle. This
can be done online. At this point, this person has to supply some information such
as; dates of rental, and type of car. After these details are worked out, the individual
renting the car must present a valid Identification Card.

Most companies throughout the industry make a profit based of the type of cars that
are rented. The rental cars are categorized into economy, compact, compact
premium, premium and luxury. And customers are free to choose any car of their
choice based on their purse and availability of such car at the time of reservation.

TECHNOLOGIES USED

3.1 HTML
3.1.1 Introduction to HTML

HTML is a computer language devised to allow website creation. These websites can then
be viewed by anyone else connected to the Internet. It is relatively easy to learn, with the
basics being accessible to most people in one sitting; and quite powerful in what it allows
you to create. It is constantly undergoing revision and evolution to meet the demands and
requirements of the growing Internet audience under the direction of the » W3C, the
organisation charged with designing and maintaining the language.
The definition of HTML is HyperText Markup Language.
HyperText is the method by which you move around on the web — by clicking on special
text called hyperlinks which bring you to the next page. The fact that it is hyper just means
it is not linear — i.e. you can go to any place on the Internet whenever you want by clicking
on links — there is no set order to do things in.
Markup is what HTML tags do to the text inside them. They mark it as a certain type of
text (italicised text, for example)
HTML is a Language, as it has code-words and syntax like any other language.

3.1.2 How Does It Work?

HTML consists of a series of short codes typed into a text-file by the site author — these
are the tags. The text is then saved as a html file, and viewed through a browser, like
Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. This browser reads the file and translates the text
into a visible form, hopefully rendering the page as the author had intended. Writing your
own HTML entails using tags correctly to create your vision. You can use anything from a
rudimentary text-editor to a powerful graphical editor to create HTML pages.

3.1.3 What Are These Tags Up To?

The tags are what separate normal text from HTML code. You might know them as the
words between the <angle-brackets>. They allow all the cool stuff like images and tables
and stuff, just by telling your browser what to render on the page. Different tags will
perform different functions. The tags themselves don’t appear when you view your page

11
 through a browser, but their effects do. The simplest tags do nothing more than apply
formatting to some text, like this:
3.2 PHP

3.2.1 What Is PHP?

PHP started out as a small open source project that evolved as more and more people found
out how useful it was. Rasmus Lerdorf unleashed the first version of PHP way back in
1994.
 PHP is a recursive acronym for "PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor".
 PHP is a server side scripting language that is embedded in HTML. It is used to manage
dynamic content, databases, session tracking, even build entire e-commerce sites.
 It is integrated with a number of popular databases, including MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Oracle, Sybase, Informix, and Microsoft SQL Server.
 PHP is pleasingly zippy in its execution, especially when compiled as an Apache module
on the Unix side. The MySQL server, once started, executes even very complex queries
with huge result sets in record-setting time.
 PHP supports a large number of major protocols such as POP3, IMAP, and LDAP. PHP4
added support for Java and distributed object architectures (COM and CORBA), making
n-tier development a possibility for the first time.
 PHP is forgiving: PHP language tries to be as forgiving as possible.
 PHP Syntax is C-Like.

3.2.2 Common Uses Of PHP

 PHP performs system functions, i.e. from files on a system it can create, open, read, write,
and close them.
 PHP can handle forms, i.e. gather data from files, save data to a file, through email you
can send data, return data to the user.
 You add, delete, modify elements within your database through PHP.
 Access cookies variables and set cookies.
 Using PHP, you can restrict users to access some pages of your website.
 It can encrypt data.

12
 3.3.3 Characteristics Of PHP

Five important characteristics make PHP's practical nature possible −

 Simplicity
 Efficiency
 Security
 Flexibility
 Familiarity

3.3 CSS
3.3.1 What Is CSS?
Cascading Style Sheets, fondly referred to as CSS, is a simple design language
intended to simplify the process of making web pages presentable.
CSS handles the look and feel part of a web page. Using CSS, you can control the color
of the text, the style of fonts, the spacing between paragraphs, how columns are sized
and laid out, what background images or colors are used, layout designs, variations in
display for different devices and screen sizes as well as a variety of other effects.

3.3.2 Advantages Of CSS

CSS saves time − You can write CSS once and then reuse same sheet in multiple HTML pages.
You can define a style for each HTML element and apply it to as many Web pages as you
want.
Pages load faster − If you are using CSS, you do not need to write HTML tag attributes every
time. Just write one CSS rule of a tag and apply it to all the occurrences of that tag. So less
code means faster download times.
Easy maintenance − To make a global change, simply change the style, and all elements in
all the web pages will be updated automatically.
Superior styles to HTML − CSS has a much wider array of attributes than HTML, so you can
give a far better look to your HTML page in comparison to HTML attributes.

13
 Multiple Device Compatibility − Style sheets allow content to be optimized for more than
one type of device. By using the same HTML document, different versions of a website
can be presented for handheld devices such as PDAs and cell phones or for printing.
Global web standards − Now HTML attributes are being deprecated and it is being
recommended to use CSS. So its a good idea to start using CSS in all the HTML pages to
make them compatible to future browsers.

3.4 MYSQL Database

 MySQL is a database system used on the web
 MySQL is a database system that runs on a server
 MySQL is ideal for both small and large applications
 MySQL is very fast, reliable, and easy to use
 MySQL uses standard SQL
 MySQL compiles on a number of platforms
 MySQL is free to download and use
 MySQL is developed, distributed, and supported by Oracle Corporation

• Data flow diagram
Car rental system data flow diagram is often used as a preliminary step to create an overview of
the car rental without going into great detail, which can later be elaborated. It normally consists of
overall application dataflow and processes of the car rental process. It contains all of the user flow
and their entities such all the flow of car, customers, bookings, payments,
insurance, rent, bill. All of the below diagrams has been used for the
visualization of data processing and structured design of the car rental process and working flow.

• Zero Level Data Flow Diagram of Car Rental System

this is zero level DFD of car rental system, where we have elaborated the high level process of car
rental. It’s a basic overview of the whole car rental system or process being analyzed or modeled.
It’s designed to be an at-a-glance view of insurance, rent and bill showing the system as a single
high level process, with it’s relationship to external entities of car, customers and booking. It
should be easily understood by a wide audience, including car, booking and insurance in zero level
DFD of car rental system, we have described the high level flow of the car rental system

Level 0 data flow diagram

 First Level Data Flow Diagram of Car Rental System

15
First level DFD of car rental system shows how the system is divided into sub-systems, each of
which deals with one or more of the data flows to or from an external agent, and which together
provide all of the functionality of the car rental system as a whole. It also identifies internal data
stores of bill, rent, insurance, payment, booking that must be present in order for the car rental
system to do its job, and shows the flow of data between the
Various parts of car, booking, rent, bill, insurance of the system. DFD level 1 provides a more
detailed breakout of pieces of the 1st level DFD. You will highlight the main functionalities of car
rental system.

Level 1 data flow diagram

 Entity relationship diagram (ERD) :-

16
An entity-relationship diagram (ERD) is a data modeling technique that graphically illustrates an
information system’s entities and the relationships between those entities. An ERD is a conceptual and
representational model of data used to represent the entity framework infrastructure.

The elements of an ERD are:

• Entities
• Relationships
• Attributes
Steps involved in creating an ERD include:

1. Identifying and defining the entities

2. Determining all interactions between the entities
3. Analyzing the nature of interactions/determining the cardinality of the relationships
4. Creating the ERD

6.1 Functional Requirements

Requirement analysis is a software engineering technique that is composed of the various

tasks that determine the needs or conditions that are to be met for a new or altered product,
taking into consideration the possible conflicting requirements of the various users.

Functional requirements are those requirements that are used to illustrate the internal
working nature of the system, the description of the system, and explanation of each
subsystem. It consists of what task the system should perform, the processes involved,
which data should the system holds and the interfaces with the user. The functional

19
 requirements identified are:

a. Customer’s registration: The system should allow new users to register online and
generate membership card.
b. Online reservation of cars: Customers should be able to use the system to make booking
and online reservation.

6.2 Requirement Analysis

Before developing any new system anywhere, it is imperative upon the developers to acquaint
themselves with environment in which the proposed system would be installed. also, it is necessary to
interact with the user regarding their demands and the resources available with them. This gives a clear
overview of the improvements wanted and to be provided. The study and analysis of the proposed system
was carried out diligently under the guidance of experts of the organization.
