Car Reservation System

Scenario:

The Car Reservation System allows customers to reserve cars for rental. Users can browse available cars, select the date and time for the rental, and make a reservation. Admins can add, update, or remove cars from the system and manage reservations.

Design Paradigm:

The system will have two types of users: Customers and Admins.

  • Customers:

    • Browse available cars.
    • Filter cars by type, brand, or availability.
    • Reserve a car for a specific time period.
    • View their current and past reservations.

  • Admins:

    • Add new cars to the system.
    • Update or remove existing cars.
    • View all reservations.
    • Manage reservation statuses (confirm, cancel, or modify).

Expected Output:

  • For Customers:
    • Ability to browse and filter cars.
    • Reserve a car with specific start and end dates.
    • View a list of current reservations and reservation history.
  • For Admins:
    • Ability to add, update, or remove cars.
    • View and manage all reservations.

Project Features:

1. Core Classes:

  • User (abstract):

    • Attributes: username, password, email.
    • Methods: login(), logout(), viewProfile().

  • Customer (extends User):

    • Attributes: customerId, reservationHistory.
    • Methods: makeReservation(), viewReservations().

  • Admin (extends User):

    • Attributes: adminId.
    • Methods: addCar(), updateCar(), removeCar(), manageReservations().

  • Car:

    • Attributes: carId, model, brand, carType, availableFrom, availableTo.
    • Methods: isAvailable(), getCarDetails().

  • Reservation:

    • Attributes: reservationId, car, customer, reservationStart, reservationEnd, status.
    • Methods: confirmReservation(), cancelReservation(), viewDetails().

2. Data Structures:

  • List: To store the list of available cars.
  • List: To store all reservations.
  • LINQ can be used to filter cars based on availability, brand, or type.

3. GUI Features:

  • Login Screen: A login system for both customers and admins.
  • Customer Dashboard:
    • Browse cars with filtering options (brand, type, availability).
    • View current reservations and past reservation history.
  • Admin Dashboard:
    • Add, update, or remove cars from the system.
    • View and manage all reservations.

4. Data Source:

  • Use a database (SQLite or any relational DB) to store car information and reservations.
  • Optional: File-based storage if a database isn’t needed.

5. Internationalization (I18N and L10N):

  • Support for two languages (e.g., English and French).
  • Use ResourceBundle for storing translated strings.
  • The UI should switch between languages based on user preference.

6. Test-Driven Development (TDD):

  • Write unit tests for key methods like makeReservation(), addCar(), and isAvailable().
  • Ensure the test coverage includes checking for availability conflicts and proper reservation creation.
