Background For Project

• The reason behind this project is that the
  current paper ticket system is very error-prone.
• Current problems that exist with the system
• hard to read handwriting can cause information
  to be entered incorrectly into the database
• sometimes an officer doesnt see a decal and a
  ticket is given to a car that is correctly parked

Campus Police Automated Ticketing System
Overview of Our System
Our system will automate the ticketing
process by processing vehicle information through
a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA). The system
is intended to determine if a vehicle is
violating parking restrictions when a license
number entered and to enable automatic printing
of all types of tickets given by Campus Police.
In order to update, the PDA can be connected to a
computer through a docking station in the Campus
Police office and automatically update the
existing parking information database if any new
tickets were given.

Synchronization Process
To update the main database in Campus Police the
PDA is connected to the computer that holds the

installed on both the main computer and PDA,
synchronizes the main database with the PDA
database entering all the tickets given using
that PDA.
