Introduction
This document proposes an online booking system for the target company Kangaroo Taxi. The company aims to make it easier for its customers to book taxi conveniently and manage their commute by accessing their system online anytime and from anywhere. The proposed online system for the target company will act as a platform that will make the booking process easy for the users and resolve the issues related to daily commute of the company’s customers as well as booking issues faced by its staff. Some general issues that exist in the old manual booking system are that the users do not have ther own vehicle, they are not comfortable in using public transportation, private taxi owners charge irrelevantly hiked taxi fare and taxi drivers lose way during following the GPS. All such issues shall be resolved using the proposed system. The system shall offer several benefits to the growth of the business. These include helping the taxi company grow its revenue by increasing the number of users accessing the online system and booking taxi. The system shall make the travel of the users safer and more secure by tracking the taxi with GPS. The system will be able to generate reports on bookings and transactions and perform analytics which can be used for gaining insight into the business processes and achieve improvements thus increasing business.
The online system shall be advantageous to the taxi drivers registered with the system as well as the customers. Customers will be able to book taxi instantly unlike the manual system where they had to wait in queue to book a taxi. They would be notified with estimated arrival time of the booked taxi and can track the taxi as it reaches them for pick up. The system shall send a receipt through email after booking is confirmed and payment is made. The taxi is easily allocated to the customer. The driver of the allocated taxi can identify the location of the customer and the destination location which will save time in searching for the pick-up and drop off location. The system shall offer a reliable means of booking a taxi to the customer thus integrating the processes for customers, drivers and company staff. The online application will be freely available to everyone. Users can freely register themselves on the application before booking a taxi. The customer can choose the car of their choice, consider the driver and other things while placing the booking. The application shall display all the cars with their prices which would be available for the pick-up and drop off location specified by the customer. Customer can choose the car among them. However, anyone can access the system only after registering themselves.
The document contains sections that describe the design of the system. First, a use case diagram is included which shows registration of users like customers and drivers and place booking through the system. Second, an entity relationship diagram is prepared where all the entities of the system are identified along with their attributes. Subsequently, sequence diagram, class diagram and activity diagram are prepared to depict the registration of users and booking of taxi through the application. Lastly, a data input screen is designed which the users access to input their personal information in order to register through the application. Another input screen is designed where they can input details of the taxi before booking. The testing and deployment of the application discussed for the proposed system in order to ensure that it works as expected.
