Java Prac

The document describes a problem to design an object-oriented Java program to simulate a tollbooth collection system. Trucks pay a toll based on their number of axles and weight. The tollbooth tracks the total receipts and number of trucks since the last collection. The program should include interfaces for Truck and TollBooth, with classes implementing each interface, such as FordTruck and AlleghenyTollBooth. The tollbooth calculates tolls and displays/resets its totals, while trucks provide their attributes to calculate tolls. Sample code tests the classes by creating truck objects and calling methods on the tollbooth.

Core Java Practical Assessment

1. Problem Statement
The Department of Highways of a particular county is installing a toll collection system on one of its major
roads. Trucks pulling up to a tollbooth are required to pay a toll of $5 per axle plus $10 per half-ton of the
truck's total weight. A display in the booth shows the toll receipts and the number of truck arrivals since the
last collection.

You will design an object oriented program in Java that simulates the operation of the tollbooth.

Sample Scenario
To aid understand the problem statement let us imagine how such a toll collection system might work. A
toll agent sits in a tollbooth that is equipped with a computer screen and a bar code reader. When a truck
arrives at the booth, the agent scans a bar code on the windshield of the truck; it contains information about
the truck, including its number of axles. The weight of the truck is obtained by scanning a bar code
contained on the bill of lading presented by the driver. The truck information and toll due are then
displayed on the computer screen:

Truck arrival - Axles: 5 Total weight: 12500 Toll due: $145

When a button on the side of the screen is pressed, the booth's totals are displayed:

Totals since last collection - Receipts: $205 Trucks: 2

When the cash drawer is removed from its cradle, the following is displayed on the screen. The totals are
displayed and then reset to zero:

*** Collecting receipts ***


Totals since the last collection - Receipts: $253 Trucks: 5

This scenario will be simulated by the object oriented system that you will build.

Primary Objects in the Problem Statement


The primary objects of the tollbooth model problem are the relevant noun phrases of the problem statement.
In this case we list: trucks, tollbooth, axle, weight, receipts. Of these, tollbooth and truck are the most
important. Axles and weight are properties of a truck, and receipts are secondary to the tollbooth.
Therefore, we chose truck and tollbooth as our primary types.

Trucks Behaviors and Attributes


Toll depends on the number of axles and weight of a truck. Tollbooths need to get both of these from a
truck. Therefore, a truck should keep track of the number of axles it has, its total weight, and allow other
objects to get access to these but not modify these attributes. In addition a truck is of a particular make.

Tollbooth Behaviors and Attributes


The main behavior required of a tollbooth is the ability to calculate the toll due. We also want to be able to
display the data for the total receipts and number of trucks since the last receipt collection. This implies
that these totals can be reset by the tollbooth on receipt of collection.

Directions to complete the assignment


1. Create and compile the two interfaces (Truck and TollBooth)
2. Create two classes that implement the specified interface Truck. Each class should be named after a
truck make of your choice (obviously the two truck makes must be different).
These classes should have the member variables (attributes) identified earlier. Carefully choose the
access level modifier and make sure that you take into account the fact that some variables change over
time and others don't.

3. Create a class that implements the specified interface TollBooth. For example: AlleghenyTollBooth
This class keeps track of a) the total number of trucks that have gone through the tollbooth and b) total
receipts since collection.
The methods of your class specified in the interface will at least perform the following:
a) display the booth's totals simply by printing those values to System.out and b) display the totals
maintained by the booth and then reset them to zero because receipts and truck. Remember that totals
are maintained only since the most recent collection. This corresponds to the supervisor of the
tollbooth, emptying the cash box in the booth and resetting the meters.

Using the tollbooth


The following represents sample usage code for the classes above. You may use it to test your overall
implementation.

Use the class names that you have defined for your implementations of the truck interface. Also, the
method names on your tollbooth may be called differently. You may also have different types of
constructors depending on how much initialization of variables you choose when instantiating a class.

Class TestTollBooth {
Public static void main(String [] args){
TollBooth booth = new AlleghenyTollBooth();

Truck ford = new FordTruck(5, 12000); // 5 axles and 12000 kilograms


Truck nissan = new NissanTruck(2, 5000); // 2 axles and 5000kg
Truck daewoo = new DaewooTruck(6, 17000); // ….

booth.calculateToll(ford);
booth.displayData();
booth.calculateToll(nissan);

}
}
