PREFACE

For many organizations, Computer

Information System is now at the heart of

all activities and has become a major

consideration in corporate as well as non-

corporate decision making.

We have done this project “Airlines

Reservation” under the guidance of Mss.

Laxmi dhulawat.

The proposed project is a computer

based application designed as a product to

increase the overall efficiency of the

organization. As the growth of concept of

computerization, the organization sector

has logged the facility of computerized all

system, which make a person more

convenient in making transactions.

Airlines Reservation maintains updated

information all the time so that a person

can get refresh results whenever he

require. Data are the life, blood of an

organization and the business students and

professional must know how to manage

data if we want to be a successful

manager. Growing awareness in the field

of computer enhance the growth of various

package to be used for various operations

which are executed in an organization.

Since a lot of time is wasted in repetitive

calculation such as maintaining files, stock

keeping up to date information of daily

transaction etc. Computers are found to be

very useful in this manner. Speed,

Accuracy, Efficiency, Reliability and good

representation of work are the factors

responsible for growing popularity of

computers in every walk of life.

INTRODUCTION

Problem Statement

To automate the existing flight

transactions of the Airlines Reservation.

This project report is about the Airlines

Reservation. Airlines Reservation is very

challenging task where typical transaction

related tasks takes place. Before design

this project, I analyze all aspects of the

Airlines Reservation and DBMS.

In old system, all management system

related works done by manually. So the

record maintenance is a typical process

and time consuming. New system is

computerized automated process where all

processing is done by system in few

seconds. All report generation done by

system.

This project is a basic form of DBMS

where major rules of DBMS followed by

me. This a user friendly system in which

user can do works easily. All form design

is simple and useful to use. I also provide

the find facility of records in every form.

In new system, all required checks and

controls.

In future this project may expand

coding according to user requirement.

Goals to be achieved

To develop a form based VB application, which connects to a database.

To store all information about passengers, flights and reservations in the database.

To print monthly reports. To allow online updating of the database

when discs are rented out.

OBJECTIVE

Now a days-traditional system for

maintaining airlines database in the books

are a tedious process, also consumes much

time. At any time if some one would like

to know about flight, customer detail.

Then it is very difficult to provide up to

date information in this regards in that

traditional system. Traditional systems

also have many loopholes so that any

person can get into it and can make serious

changes according requirement it is

tedious job.

The software I am being to develop to

reduce these types of shortcomings.

Someone wants to know about any Flight

and Customer related information. At a

glance he needs software, by which he can

fulfill his desire. For this purpose he can

use this software Airlines Reservation. In

this software, I developed an environment,

which is not only better user interface but

also provides all information’s about

Flight and Customer.

The Airlines Reservation has provide

function to user to maintain data secure. It

also provides detail data and its reports in

a computerized form.

In an Airlines Reservation, the

handling of passenger database manually

is time consuming job and error prone.

Computerizing the passenger information

and keeping them in electronic file

elimination this.

DURATION

It was 5th august 2009, when I started

my project on “AIRLINES

RESERVATION” subject. This subject I

choose on the suggestion of Mss. Laxmi

dhulawat and Mr. sonesh bhatia. First the

data related to this project was collected

from different persons of the department.

After collecting data we made

architectural structure for Airlines

Reservation.

Rishi paliwal: Whole Project work of

Airlines Reservation

After two months on 20th october 2009

we completed our project and submitted

this project.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Today, maintain flight details and

passenger information in the register are a

tedious process, also consume much time,

at any time if user like to know the status

of reservation of flights then it is very

difficult to provide up to date information

in this regard. Traditional systems also

have loopholes so that any person can set

into and can make serious change to take

profits from it.

In manual system there were more than

one person were require to handle

transaction like flights available, passenger

reservation etc. Its very tedious job to

handle this work.

So, there are requirement to change

whole manual process in computerize

process. Computerize process’s to reduce

type of shortcoming. In the Airlines there

is one counter where dealing with

passengers took place so we have to

develop software, which transacts to the

information to be handled of passengers.

IMPLEMENTATION

PROCEDURE

To implement Airlines Reservation,

first of all we use software development

life cycle, this divide software process in

various phases:

1. Requirement Analysis and

Specification

2. Design and implementation

3. Coding

4. Testing

5. Documentation

Requirement Analysis and Specification: -

There are two phases:

1. Problem Analysis: - In a manual

system, the operator maintains flights,

and customer details in registers. It’s a

tedious job to maintain bulk of data by

one person so it requires more than one

person. It takes more time, more afford

and also it’s costly. It is possible to

change by person in an account to take

profit. Results loss of organization.

2. Requirement Phase: - Problem

stated in previous solve by change

manual system to computerized

system. Computerize Airlines

Reservation system help to reduce

workload, its cheaper, take less time

and little afford. Once the data entered

in the database it retrieves very

quickly. The Airlines Reservation

provides function to user to main flight

entry, flight maintenance, reservation,

cancellation, and ticket maintenance. It

also provides detail data and its reports

in a computerized form.

Design and implementation: - In this phase

design user interface according to the

requirement phase. After design of

complete user interface coding phase start.

Coding: - In this phase programmer write

code for user interface (procedures and

functions). Programmer use different

approach for coding for different

condition. After completion of this one

testing performs.

Testing: - In this phase programmer or

software testing engineer perform testing

on software for its checking whether its

functions correctly or not. It fulfills all

user requirements or not. Engineer use all

testing approach like black box and white

box testing technique.

Documentation: - The software passes all

software testing then it delivered to client

with its documentation or user manual that

are generated after each phase of SDLC.

REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS

There are two phases:

1. Problem Analysis: - In a manual

Reservation system help to reduce

workload, its cheaper, take less time

and little afford. Once the data entered

in the database it retrieves very

quickly. The Airlines Reservation

provides function to user to main flight

entry, flight maintenance, reservation,

cancellation, and ticket maintenance. It

also provides detail data and its reports

TESTING PROCEDURE

After complete every part of the

software there is need software testing for

prove module are function properly or not

and it fulfill all requirement of user. For

this programmer use various type of

software testing techniques and strategies.

Software can be tested in one of two ways:

Black box testing: - Knowing the

specified function that a product has

been designed to perform, tests can be

conducted that demonstrate each

function is fully operational while at

the same time searching for errors in

each function.

White box testing: - Knowing the

internal working of product, tests can

be conducted to ensure that “all gears

mesh”, that is internal operation are

performed according to specification

and internal component have been

adequately exercised.

VALIDATION CHECK

The main data, which is required, is all

the details about passenger and flights.

Then we have to feed all these details to

find out the user’s need.

Details that are required are: -

1. While the flight maintenance entry, it checks the flight is available on that date according to day of week or fortnightly or monthly.

2. While flight maintenance, the arrival date is greater than or equal than the departure date. If no, then give an error message.

3. While reservation, it checks the flight is available on that day or not. If no, then give the error message.

4. While reservation, it checks the validity of customer name, city, and state do not accept the numbers, and in phone no and pin code do not accept the alphabets or other special characters.

5. While ticket maintenance, check the previous entry if they exist then it will produce the message to update them otherwise add new record.

6. While every type of searching operation, check the availability of flight on the particular day or not.

After the data have been collected it is

checked whether it is correct or not. And

after complication of entire project it has

been checked, whether it is properly

worked or not.

TOOLS/ENVIRONMENT USED

Front End : Visual Basic 6.0

Language : Visual Basic Coding

Back End : Microsoft Access

Platform : Windows OS 9x

and higher version

Processor : Intel Pentium IV

Primary Memory : 128 MB RAM

Secondary Memory : 40 GB Hard

Disk

Explanation:

1. Why use Visual Basic 6.0?

Visual Basic is a windows

programming language that has been

developed at Microsoft Corporation. It

is very powerful programming

language to develop sophisticated

windows programs very quickly.

Visual Basic is one of the RAD (Rapid

Application Development) tools as it

enable programmer to develop

application very easily and very quick.

It contains some BASIC like language

that has been popular over years and it

includes all the necessary extension

required to produce windows

programs. Visual Basic is very popular

as front end to many client/server

database systems.

2. Why use Microsoft Access?

Microsoft Access is a RDBMS under

windows. It is used to store and

manipulate large amount of data. The

data is stored in multiple tables and

MS-Access allows us setup

relationships between the tables to

facilitate data retrieval.

3. Why use Windows Operating

System?

Microsoft windows are an operating

system marketed by Microsoft

Corporation, USA. There are different

versions of MS-Windows. The most

popular are:

Microsoft Windows NT

Microsoft Windows

95/98/2000/Xp

These days there is very much need for

the Database Management systems in

the clinical data warehouse. So choose

Microsoft Access database which

RDBMS with also support OODBMS.

It works well with Visual Basic 6.0 as

the Front End/Back End combination

to serve as Client/Server Architecture.

Windows operating system 9x and

higher version are best platform for the

project.

GOALS OF APPLICATION

Immediate information retrieval:

One of the main goals of the “AIRLINES

RESERVATION” is to provide the facility

of quick retrieval of information about the

flights, passenger and other related

information.

Current Status:

One of the sub goals is the easy and quick

retrieval of information regarding the

current status of the reservation and those,

which are in pipeline on a particular day or

time.

Immediate and sound storage of

information:

Another main goal of the system is the

quick and easy storage of information. The

storage of information is kept at central

place from where user can retrieve the

useful information is less time.

Another advantage is when updating is

done to any field’s information then the

changes take places where that information

lies. It reduces the human efforts and

chances or error. The stored information

can be backed up in storage devices for

record.

FUTURE APPLICATION

We can make future changes to the

project, so that it will not obsolete, as the

future requirement. We can make changes

in project according to user’s future

requirement.

1. Network

2. Database Security

3. User Rights

4. Can include a comprehensive

query generation capable of

performing ad-hoc queries.

5. Additional reports listing flights

costs and passenger categories could

have been added

CONCLUSION

The project has been of great help in more ways than one.

It helped us gain valuable insight into the principles of GUI designing and user interface handling.

The Airlines Reservation has been

designed in such a manner that it will

fulfill all the requisite information. The

advantage is that non-technical user can

operate it. The user manual is also

produced in this project for ready

information. The Airlines Reservation is

capable of handling all the information

about Flight and Passenger management.

Also, in order to generate final reports an

additional report generating applications

using data reports was added.
