highway terminal station information system

CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 IntroductionEverybody can travel to other major towns and cities in Myanmar

such as Mandalay, Meikhtila, KyaukPanDaung, Yangon, etc. Bus

terminal (Bus Station) is one of the most important transportation

infrastructures where buses stop to pick up and drop off passengers.

This system can help to users by giving information about bus

station in Magway to users. Highway Terminal Information system

support two kind of users called System users (Passengers) and

administrator.

First, users (Passengers) not only to view detail information about

departure buses and arrival buses but also to know about the terminal

information such as restaurants and guest houses. Users can view Bus

number, Terminal name, Departure time or Arrival time, Service type

(Full Service, Ordinary and Economic), Target location, Way, Bus’s seat

charges and Terminal phone number in this system. Users can also view

restaurants and guest houses information near the Highway Terminal

Station.

Administrator can manage bus information not only to update old

information but also to add new information about the system. He can

add new buses information every time. He can also update the bus

information when the bus’s departure time or arrival time is changed or

other facts. When the new restaurants or guest houses are opened near

bus station, admin can add information about it. He can also delete bus

lines and terminal information when they want to remove them.

CONCLUSION

As our country is developed, travelers all over the world are sight

in travelling in our country. When the foreigners visit to us, they have

many problems about in transportation. Because, the information system

in terminal are weak. It cannot display to users to understand. This

System supports to users with information about Highway Terminal

Station (Magway). In this system, users search the bus for city that they

want to travel. Moreover, they know any bus detail such as departure

time, seat charges, service, and path way and travel mile. This system

informs to passengers suitable restaurants and guest house houses.

In this system, admin can act as a manager of terminal station.

She/he updates existing information about departure buses and arrival

buses. As an admin, it can be add new bus information and terminal

information every time. Moreover, He/she delete bus line when it is

removed. Moreover, the system permits to admin to update information

and delete information about terminal (restaurants and guest houses).

As a result, this system may be useful for users, passengers,

citizens and foreigners who they want to know information about buses

and restaurants guest houses near terminal station.
