Learning Outcomes:
On conclusion students should be able to:
Develop a problem-based strategy for creating and applying programmed solutions
Create, edit, compile, run, debug and test programs using an appropriate development
environment
STUDENTS CAR PARK REGISTRATION SYSTEM
The management of APU has completed the construction of a three storey car park where
students may park their cars. The car park can accommodate a total of 45 cars, where each
level will have 15 parking spaces. In order to facilitate the management of the car park, and
enable students to rent parking spaces, a system is needed to handle the registration of
students for each available car park for each semester. A student, once registered may park his
or her car at the car park for duration of 120 days. The system would be used by the parking
administration office to register students who wishes to park at the car park. The users should
be able to insert, update, delete, read the following information about the students, parking
spaces as well as user details.

Students
StudentID
FirstName
LastName
Contact Number
E-mail address
CarNumber
Date Registered
Parking Spaces
ParkingSpaceID

Status
StudentID

Users
UserID
Password
Users First Name
Users Last Name

Description
Students TP number
Students first name
Students last name
Students mobile number
Students e-mail address
Students car number
Date of registration for the car park
Description
The parking bay number, using the car park level and the
bay number. Example, the parking bay number 10 at level
2 would be L2010.
Parking bay status as Available or Assigned

Description
Users ID Number e.g. PKO1234 (PKO = Parking Office)
Users password for logging into the system
Users first name
Users first name

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
1. The system must require user to enter his or her ID and an assigned password before using
the system. Upon login, the system shall display the users actual name on the systems
user interface.
2. The system must have the following functionalities:
a.
New Registration where students who wish to park their car at the car park is
registered by the system. Once registered, a parking bay is assigned by the system
depending on the availability of parking bays. If all the parking bays are already
assigned, then the system shall indicate to the user its status.
b.

Cancel (Delete) a registration where a student who do not wish to park at the car
park anymore. The parking bay occupied then will be released, and the students
record will be deleted from the system.

c.

Update a students information such as Car Number, Contact Number and E-mail
address. Other students information such as StudentID, FirstName and LastName
should not be available for editing. To facilitate the update process, a Search for
the students information using the StudentID will be required.

d.

Generate a report of all cars parked at the car park which should include the
following information:
i.
ii.
iii.
iv.
v.

StudentID
Car Number
ParkingSpaceID
Date Registered
Date Expired (to be calculated from the date of registration)

The applications can be developed using structure programming or object-oriented approach.

Data may be stored in collections i.e. array of objects, vectors, etc. or into data files. The
application user interface needs to be interactive and may be command line based or
developed using Java Swing (JFC).
