Abstract

Since TARUMT has so few parking spaces, students must spend more time looking for a parking space. Occasionally, students double park or leave their cars in illegal parking areas. Furthermore, some students use public transportation to get to class. It is unfortunate that public transportation will never arrive on time for a scheduled departure. Thus, developing this carpooling system can help in resolving the issue of limited parking at TARUMT. Students who carpool to the same destination may share a vehicle and petrol costs. Students may find other students travelling from the same starting point or to the same destination. The system will allow the user to register as a driver or passenger. Drivers can make a booking, and specify carpool fees, departure time, and a map showing the starting and ending points. It is up to the driver to decide whether to accept a request from a passenger. Drivers can begin or cancel release bookings if the number of passengers reaches their set limit. A notification will be sent to the passenger once the driver arrives. It will use the waterfall model as the methodology model where it is to implement the system step by step. The tools that are used to draw diagram are Flowchart Maker & Online Diagram Software and Lucidchart. The implementation of the MVC framework in the project brings benefits for future enhancements. Development tools used in this project are Microsoft Visual Studio and Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. In conclusion, the proposed system can help reduce car congestion in the TARUMT. This system allows students in TARUMT to have a carpool at a cheaper price and earn pocket money by registering as drivers. The weakness of this system is it may need to be improved to have more advanced functionalities.
