CHAPTER ONE
1. Introduction
Car rental is an integral part of many people's travel plans and is used all around the world to travel
from place to place. Whether travelling on business, journeying with the family or simply on holiday
wanting to explore, car rental services are extremely helpful.
Hayelom smart car rent and tour is a small but growing national car rental company. The organization
(company) is located in Shire, in front of Gebar shire Hotel, Keeble 02. The Hayelom smart car rental
company has branches in some cities of Tigray. At each branch cars are available for rental. Each branch
has a manager and receptions. It was established in the year 2002 E.C by the name of Hayelom car rent.
At that times its name was changed to smart car rent. Finally, in the year 2009 E.C it has got the name
Hayelom smart car rent and tour. Currently the organization has 10 employees in Shire branch office.
Online car rental and tour is a type of electronic commerce used for business-to-business and business-to
–customer transactions. In this project, an attempt has been done to design a system which is used for car
rental service. This document contains the software requirements for the Car Rental System (CRS). The
main purpose of Car Rental System to be implemented is to manage information about Cars, Customers
and the system users related to the company so as to increase the company business performance and
speed of work. The purpose of this document is to state all system requirements clearly for usage in the
development stages ahead.
This project tries to identify the barriers, analyze the convenient steps in automating the car rental
system and the technology available. The project is on the car rental online system, which is an attempt
to automate the existing rental system.
Moreover, this system will help in managing the activities performed by the Hayelom Smart Car Rent and
Tour Company.
Some of the activities performed by the proposed system are listed below:
1
Advertising the company
Managing vehicle information
Customer registration
Online reservation
Generate report
The current system has many problems in relation to database management, since it is manual system.
The following are problems of the current system (manual system).
Data Security is not assured: - This is due to the manual way of recording the data. It is known
that, in manual way, data are being stored by recording it on paper. Therefore, it easily gets damage
or misplaced that which lead to data loss.
Performance
Since the office performs recording customer information manually, it takes much time.
Searching and data retrieving mechanism of the system takes a lot of time.
Information
Input
Data collection is not accurate and it is not based on timely manner.
It is difficult to add, replace, delete and edit the required information.
Checking the validity of input data is difficult.
Output
Since information is not collected timely and accurately, the output is not precise
and on time.
Processing the input data in order to get an output takes much time because of the
manual system.
It is difficult to check whether the output data is valid or invalid
Stored Data
The data stored takes more cabinet.
In addition to this it is difficult in order to add some additional requirements to the existing
system’s stored data (i.e. it is not flexible).
2
There is the loss of data when storage place gets natural disaster as well as man-made
problems (like fire).
Economy
Since the system currently uses manual system it is not economically sufficient i.e. there
is wastage of material and time.
Efficiency
In addition to this there is wastage of materials and time due to redundantly storage of
identical data on different offices.
Service
The services provided by the office are not as fast as possible because the service
providers are busy with the paper and paper related activities.
The objective of the project is to give a solution for the entire problem in Hayelom smart car rent and tour.
The objective of the project is described in general and specific objectives as follows.
In addition to the general objective the proposed system has to address some specific objectives. Among
those are: -
3
To improve the records of the drivers / clients who have monthly
Contracts so that it can be written only once and only the status change
Every day will be changed instead of writing all the information again and again.
Driver
To store and easily track driver’s information
To check the availability of the driver
Vehicle
To store all vehicle information (plate number, etc.)
To track all repair records of the vehicle
To track all transport records of the vehicle
To check the availability of the vehicle
Rental
To manage all rental services (add, modify, cancel a transaction)
To track all car rentals in a given day
Advertising the company: Advertisement about new services to keeps the customer
informed about the new developments in the company.
Managing vehicle information: Such as vehicle financing, vehicle maintenance, driver
management, fuel (petrol) management and health and safety management.
Online reservation: The customer can registration online.
Car tracking

6. Significance of the Project
Solving the existing problem of the car rental services that is done manually. By using the Car Rental
System, clients can manage their rental and vehicle issues. In addition, the customers can check out auto
conditions which can be rented from the car rental service.
Tangible Benefits: - The main function of this project is to apply the working system of Hayelom smart
car rent and tour organization when the organization communicating with its customers and when
customers rent cars. Such as: -
For improved investigation of rental system
Easy stock controlling
To make data reliable
To get daily updated report
Intangible Benefits: - are those benefits that cannot be expressed in terms of birr or dollar. Intangible
benefit that the system will give is the following:
8. Methodology
Iterative methodology: The iterative enhancement life cycle model counters some of limitation
of the waterfall model and tries to combine the benefits of both prototyping and the waterfall
model.
we will select the iterative methodology because it has several uses excluding the time wastage. An
iterative method supports backtracking helps to solve problems that happen in each iteration like through
gathering until implementation. Iterative methodology is found to be relevant for this project. It helps in
getting up-to-date information.

9. Testing Methodology
Developing software is a complex process. No matter how hard we try to eliminate all faults simply by
going through the phases of requirements, analysis, design, and implementation, however through good
practice we can make sure that the most series fault does not occur in the first place.
7
During the development process, the system is going to be tested experimentally to ensure that it works
well as excepted. Here are some procedures that we will follow:
Examining whether the operation have sufficient documentation in procedure manuals (hard
copy) to afford correct and efficient operation.
Checking whether procedure manuals are clear enough in communicating how data should be
prepared for input.
Determine whether output is correct and whether the user understands it clearly.
In addition to that we will test for each line of code, method, class and test the application of
the code.
Technical feasibility
It is planned to implement the system using visual PHP(wapserver), window 7 operating system,
Dreamweaver, etc. it is evident that the necessary soft-ware and hard ware are available for
development and implementation of the system. All of the software except window 7 operating
system that we use is free download and hence we can confidently conclude that this system is
indeed technically feasible.
Organizational feasibility
Since developing this new system will solve most of the car rental company’s problem, the
consistent support from the development team and the training of users will surely deliver a system
that will solve the existing business problems and take advantage of various opportunities.
Operational Feasibility
It is standard that insures the enter operability without shifting completion and innovation among
user, to the benefit of public both in terms of costs and service quality, the proposed system is
acceptable to the users. So that the proposed system operationally feasible.
Economic feasibility
We can see the benefits in tangible and intangible way:

Tangible benefits: the benefits derived from the creation of our project that can be measured in money
and with consistency are as follow:
