Abstract

In this project an android app namely Ambulance Management System has been developed. There is most common rescue service 1122 which is managed through phone calls but it’s a unique idea in itself in which one can book an ambulance using an android smart phone.

The request for an ambulance made by the proposed app is directly updated on a centralized main office, where 24/7 server will automatically check the request calculate coordinates and response back to the user and it’s respective nearest station. That request is in progress and from which station ambulance will come. All this process and management will handle virtually. The whole history will maintain on server side and also on user side. When task is done then status on app and sever side will be update. It develops for serving humanity in the situation of emergency by using precise and accurate results.

Gathering & Analysis Information

1.1 Introduction

     As we listened the word ‘Ambulance’ the first thing comes to mind is the rescue process. In the modern era where the population is increasing day by day, people feel uncomfortable and frightened due to danger aspects of road accidents, some known and unknown disease which required the quickly treatment but unfortunately due to couple of minute delay some important lives are lost. Therefore, to give the quick first-aid to the patient rescue system of every country should be maintained and trained well for the betterment of human beings and to avoid the deaths which occur due to delay in rescue process. So our first goal is to maintain the ambulance service system first by making android application for the rescue process. It will provide all the rescue centers to stand on one platform through ambulance service application. In case of any accident we call an ambulance for help via call. There are many organizations which provide ambulance services in Pakistan. But there is a problem with these organizations that they did not work together. So that, when there an accident occur people call for ambulance of specific organization like ‘Eidhi’, ‘Cheepa’, ‘Rescue 1122’, ‘FIF’ etc. There can be possibility that the ambulance of that organization will not available near the place of accident. So this application will help people to find ambulance near them of any organization. We have proposed an android app namely Ambulance Management System (AMS).

User will properly sign up in the app with his mobile and CNIC number for authentication so that irrelevant person will not use this app without any reason. In case of emergency he will request for an ambulance made from his phone that will be directly updated on a centralized main office where 24/7 server will automatically check his request, calculate coordinates and will check the availability of ambulance in very nearly station, if there is no ambulance available in that station, then server will check up next near station and response back to the user that request is in progress and how much time it takes to reach, and from which station. All this process and management will be handled virtually using defined algorithm. The whole history will maintain on server side. When task is done then status and number of ambulance will be updated on sever.

1.2 Business Problem

The objective of this app is to provide a user friendly environment. In the era of the modern technology, there is no application available for smart phone users in Pakistan, which helps them to request for an ambulance.

1.3 Solution Approach:

There should be an android based ambulance management system through which we can improve ambulance service system. So we have tried to enhance the capabilities of a management system by linking an android app with web based platform in which user can check its request’s status and admin maintain things and view user’s history. It will be a totally free of cost app.

1.4 Project Oversight

The Admin and developer will be responsible to manage the system. The admin can do the processes of modification, cancellation and some other issues which can affect the system. The admin can also take the decision of changing the app design and can also demand from the developer to extent some internal features of app which can be handy.

The developer will be responsible of enhancing the app features as well as the requirements of user and the developer will also be responsible for maintaining the app through finding the bugs.

1.5 Project Description

The ambulance management system describes the system which facilitates the public in the situation of emergency.

1.6 Goals and objectives

The purpose of the application is to give better idea for rescue system with user friendly interface in case of emergency and rescue situation. At the present, there is no such application which can facilitate the people in case of emergency through a smart phone app.

1.7 Implementation Approach

The admin OR developer will participate in the design and testing of the new Ambulance Management System. They will participate in the integration and system testing as well end-user testing for the following modules: Authentication, authorization, and some other services. The participants will also support end user training classes.

The technical team will be responsible for the app development and testing as well as they will also be capable of finding the errors and unnecessary things to terminate them.

1.9 Supplementary Requirements

  • 1.9.1 Usability

The application is developed with a user friendly environment such as the font size, text alignment and other complicated things are adjusted in a simple way. User can easily understand the functions of the application.

  • 1.9.2 Reliability

System will be able to perform operation efficiently with a reliable environment and with minimum chances of losing data.

  • 1.9.3 Supportability

This application can be easily downloaded from Google play store and can be used rapidly in case of emergency.

Planning the Project

2.1 Introduction

Project management involves the planning of the project. Initially project is defined as the methodologies that are commonly use in software development. Some steps are required to fulfill the work of the application.

The project plan implemented to get the balance between resource usage and project timing to command with the project purposes.

2.1.1 Advantages of Planning
  • It describes the direction of acting that we propose to pledge.
  • It tells estimated time that is required for a project.
  • It tells us about the expenses or budget that is involved in the project.
  • It gives us the idea to get prepared for emergencies which may occur during the project.
  • A well-defined plan tells us idea about the work that is to be done every day, week and month.
  • It helps to avoid duplication.
  • A plan tells everyone a brief idea to play an important role in the project.

Strategy plans are of both types i.e. short term and long term.

2.2 Chosen SE Methodology

2.2.1 Waterfall Process Model

Waterfall Process Model

The waterfall process model is a documentation model. This model generates complete and comprehensive documents and responsible for the maintenance task because the feedback of user must fulfill on each phase of development.

In case of mistake on any stage referred back to source and the steps will be repeated by updating according to the demand.

2.2.2 The five stages are as follows

  • Analysis: During this phase it will be checked that what is going on in development process and how the development should is achieved.
  • Design:
    Basic Design: When the analysis phase is successfully completed then the second phase in which we will focus is the basic design of the application.

Technical Design/Detail Design: After the basic design phase, we will enhance over design by improvements by placing the modules and programs of the basic design application on the suitable places.

  • Implementation: In this phase the source code of the programs is written.
  • Testing: In testing phase we will check the analysis and design phases accurately or precisely by continuously passing through the tasting process and in case of some bug during the testing process then the bug should be removed.
  • Integration: In the phase of Integration, the company will implement the application for the user to use this application.
  • Maintenance: This phase includes the management of the app through maintenance which will ensure that our design is implementing according to the requirement.

All the above phases approve the waterfall model referred a function in a systematic way which cause the development of the software.

2.2.3 Reason for chosen methodology

The waterfall model is a famous model for the systems development life cycle model. The waterfall model explains development method. Waterfall development has many goals at each development level where each phase is completed the model will move on the next phase and never return back.

The main advantage of the waterfall model is the completely control on the management.This process is useful for the on time project delivery such as each stage has been planned in detail. Joint application development (JAD), rapid application development (RAD) and the spiral model can be used as the replacement models of the waterfall model.

Designing the Project

3.1 Introduction

Design phase concentrates on high level design like, what projects are required and how are they going to communicate, low-level design (how the individual projects will work), interface plan(what are the interface going to resemble)and data design (what data is required).

3.2 Purpose

The main purpose of the designing phase is to make a design that satisfy the application requirements and in the design phase SDLC process continues from “What question of the analysis to the how question”. In this phase, the overall software structure defines the examines and design which are very critical in the complete development cycle. This phase needs focus because in case of fault occur during the phase will make complexion in the development process.

4.4 Guidelines and Standards

            This section provides references to all standards and guidelines to be used by the project. Add features as needed for the project. Establishing guidelines and standards before development work begins ensure that all development team members are made aware of the expectations.

4.5 Testing Methodologies

4.5.1 Objective

Testing is the way towards executing a program by removing the bugs. This section includes detection of errors in any case, not the accuracy of a program.

Testing is the significant quality measure utilized during software development. After coding phase, computer programs are available for testing purpose.

An essential part of a test case is a definition of the expected output or conclusions. A programmer should avoid trying to test his or own program. A programming company should not test its own program. Test cases must be composed unexpected, expected, valid and invalid conditions.

The probability of the errors in a program is proportional to the number of bugs found. System testing is really a series of various tests whose main role is to completely practice the computer based system and the reason for each test is different.

During testing we confirm that the product is doing exactly according to our demand. Testing is the last verification and validation action. In the testing phase we attempt to accomplish the following objectives to ensure the quality of the product, to find and eliminated the bugs, to detect functionalities of the product, to approximate the accuracy of the system.

 4.5.2 Unit Testing

In this section module examination and integration of overall system is included. Unit testing focuses on verification efforts deeply. This is also known as “Module Testing”.

Each module of the system is tested separately. In this testing each module is focused to work and the testing process is done in programming style. Each module should be work like that as the developer expected.

4.5.3 Integration testing

Data can be lost across an interface. In the parallel integration of modules chances of errors enhanced. The objective is to take unit tested modules and to combine them and test it as a whole.

4.5.4 Validation Testing

Validation describes the process of using software in a real environment to reduce the chances of errors. The feedback in the validation process generally describes the change in the software to find errors and failures for the betterment of the software.

Validation may continue for several months. During the course of validating the system, failure may occur and the software will be changed. Continuously usage may cause additional failures and requirements of some more changes.
