 SYSTEM ANALYSIS

Existing System:- In an existing framework, current circumstances of

expanding activity out and about, it is essential to gather the toll charge in an
oversaw and controlled process with the goal that it doesn’t bring about an
aggregate sloppy wilderness of movement. It isextremely testing to deal with
avehicular stream by a manual arrangement of income accumulation. Poor
administration at toll court may come about into extraordinary disarray and
income misfortune. This would not be wanted, anyone.

Software Requirements specification A System Requirements

Specification (abbreviated SRS when need to be distinct from a Software
Requirements Specification SRS) is a structured collection of information
thatembodies the requirements of a system

• Hardware requirements Processor :

• Intel Ram : 512 or More
• Hard Disc : 40 GB or More
• Monitor : LCD or LED
• Keyboard : RS/32 or USB/normal
• Mouse : compatible mouse

• Software Requirement Specification

• Front End : HTML,CSS. Back End : PHP ,My Sql
• Web server : Xampp
• Operating System : Windows 7

A software requirements specification (SRS) is a description of software to

be developed. It lays out functional and non-functional requirements, and
may include a set of use cases that describe User interaction that the software
must provide.

10 | P a g e
 Software requirements specification establishes the basis for an agreement
between customers and contractors or suppliers (in market-driven projects,
these roles may be played by the marketing and development divisions) on
what the software product is to do aswell as what it is not expected to do.
Software requirements specification permits a rigorous assessment of
requirements before design can begin and reduces later redesign. It should
also provide arealisticbasis for estimating product costs, risks, and
schedules.
Software requirements specification prevents software projects from failure.

CONCLUSION:

Transparency: Through detailed car listings, vehicle history reports, and pricing tools, it
enhances transparency, helping buyers make informed decisions.

Efficiency: The system streamlines the entire process, from listing cars to scheduling
appointments and handling paperwork, saving time and effort for all users.

Trust: User verification, reviews, and ratings build trust within the platform, ensuring secure
transactions.

Accessibility: With a responsive web design and mobile compatibility, it offers convenient
access on various devices.

Innovation: Integration with third-party services for vehicle inspections and comprehensive data
analytics tools keeps the system up-to-date and competitive.
