SYSC 4907

Forth Year Engineering Project Proposal

Carleton University Carpool System

Group Members:
Guangjie Joey Deng100298750

Supervisor:
Professor Gabriel Wainer

1. Introduction
This is a proposal for a 4th year engineering project SYSC 4907 entitled Carleton
University Carpool System. This project is expected to be delivered by April 2005. The group
members are Guangjie Joey Deng (100298750), a 4th year software engineering undergraduate, and
Andrew Lyn (100299121), a 4th year computer systems engineering undergraduate. We will
proceed with this project under the supervision of Professor Gabriel Wainer.
The project is composed of a project proposal, written progress report, oral presentation,
final presentation, poster fair demonstration and final report. The expected date of completion for
the project is April 8th, 2005. The project relates to the material learned in the programming
courses, software architectural planning, and other courses related to software development. In
addition, within this document is the background information of this project, proposal, along with a
brief schedule.
2. Objectives
The main objective of the project is to produce a piece of software that could help reduce
air pollution and road damage, by providing a cost effective way for students to travel to Carleton
University. Our goal is to complete the Carleton University Carpool System software and have it
setup on a web server to provide service to students and faculty according to our plan.
In this project, our plan is to set up a mail server, html server, and program a carpool
system. Andrew and Joey both will be the main software programmers in this project.
3. Motivation
The process of creating professional software is fascinating, it captivates our attention, and
hence we choose to do this project. We want to learn the development process of creating
professional software, and it gives us the chance to learn how to interface a database with a reallife application. We expect to improve our interpersonal communication skills, throughout the
project. So we are better prepared for the futures challenge.

4. Background on Car Pools


Air pollution, traffic and road repairing within city are big headaches among city designers.
As population increases pollution and traffic increase, therefore a solution to the problem is needed
quickly. We want to reduce traffic and clear our air without sacrificing too much. A car pool
system allows people to travel in groups. Having fewer cars on the road is a benefit because it will
reduce repairing cost of the road, and decrease the amount of car emissions improving air quality.
5. Proposal
We propose to create a car pool system that connect people who travel between cities, and
allows them to share transportations. We will divide up the components required to complete the
project with each member responsible to complete the development, integration and testing of their
individual components. Joey will complete the development of the database and the general
software development, and testing. Andrew will be setting up web server, email server, and
research on legal matters regarding privacy and testing.
6. Technical overview
This is a very software oriented project, and therefore we will apply everything we have
learned from these past four years to complete this project. First of all we will make a schedule and
plan each individuals duty on this project.
Then we will start working on this project:
1. review the work done by the team from last year, then we will pick up from where they left
off;
2. gather requirement of project;
3. analysis and design the system;
4. set up the database server;
5. set up the mail server;
6. research on privacy issue;
7. implement the design on software by using Java;
8. after main elements are done, we will integrate them together so they will function as a
whole system; and
9. when the system is done, it will be time to test it.

8. Conclusion
Our goal is to learn the development process of professional software through undertaking this
challenging project (Car Pool System). Furthermore, it is hoped that this information will help students
to know more about this technology and its potential to reduce air pollution and traffics. In addition, we
will show case the advantage of using this technology. If you have any questions or concerns about this
project, please contact Joey and Andrew at [email protected].
