Fleet is:

The set of a company’s commercial motor vehicles such as cars, vans, trucks,

ships etc.

Fleet management of a company's vehicle fleet

associates with:

• vehicle financing

• vehicle maintenance

• vehicle tracking and diagnostics

• driver management

• fuel management

• health & safety management

Web Based, because:

Fleet Management System:

• reduces costs

• keeps data organized

• allows easy information access

• performs faster iterations

• gives better fleet observability

Types:

• Fleet maintenance

• Tool management

• Warehouse management

• GPS tracking

• it is device, platform and browser independent

• allows the users to access it at “anytime” and from “anywhere”

• improves team coordination

Project Goals:

• Lower expenses

• Improved Workflow

• Better dispatch

• Good interactivity

• Flexibility

Benefits:

• To explore fleet management processes

• To research for common and basic

problems related to fleet maintenance

• To develop experimental model for fleet

management information system

realized in World Wide Web

environment.

Texar Bulgaria

The administrative structure in Texar -

Bulgaria represents a hierarchical system:Texar is a French company

operating in Bulgaria in the

fields of dressmaking.

Texar has a fleet of around

40 cars in Bulgaria, planning

to extend it in the near future.

The Stages of Software Development:

1. Information Architecture & Information Flow

2. Database Structure

3. User Interface Design

4. Front-End Development

5. Back-End Development

Tiers

Applications are usually broken into logical chunks called "tiers", where every

tier is assigned a role.

1. Presentation tier – CSS, xHTML, jQuery

2. Application tier - PHP, jQuery

3. Storage tier - MySQL Database

Database Structure

Task Scheduling and Assignment

• Once per n days

• Every nth day of the month

• Every nth month of the year

• After n thousand kilometers

Several types of scheduling exist:

Schedule

Assign User

Task Added

Add Task Info

Assigned Tasks > 6

(Today - Start Date) >= Time Period

yes

yes

no

no

System Specification:

• File Architecture

• Authentication

• Data request and visualization

• Application Navigation

• Listing Information

• Edit and Delete Data

• Scheduling

Conclusion

The automated web based Fleet Management System offers new

possibilities for workflow planning and organization by:

• Running a well structured database

• Guaranteeing fast and easy information access

• Guaranteeing data protection

• Improving dispatch

• Presenting good interactivity and flexibility
