Car Park System with GUI on java (Deadline 1/12/14)

This is whats needed. Build a graphical Java application to manage a small Car Park. The car park is to house only 15 cars. The application should enable a new Car instance to be created when another physical car is a dmitted through the barrier at the car park. When a car arrives at the car park, the park attendant is to en ter each car ’s registration number into the application along with some car characteristics as follows. The application should automatically assign a suitable space for the car based on the entered characteristics using the following process : 1) If the car is deemed a “high -­‐ value vehicle” by the attendant, then it should ideally be parked in one of the first 5 parking bays (bays 1 -­‐ 5 , i.e. close to the Attendant’s station). If all of these bays are full, then the car should be parked in one of the available bay s 1 1 -­‐ 15. If all of bays 11 -­‐ 15 are full, then the vehicle should be allocated a free space in bays 6 -­‐ 10. If all bays are full, then the car should not be allowed to park. 2) If the car is flagged by the parking attendant as a “large” vehicle, then it sh ould be parked in one of bays 6 – 10 . If all of these bays are full then its entry should be rejected. 3) Any other type o f car should ideally be parked in bays 1 1 – 15, if available, or bays 1 -­‐ 5, or finally bays 6 -­‐ 10 as a last resort . When a car leaves the car park , the space it occupied is released and the corresponding car instance within the information system must then be deleted. This is achieved by the Attendant manually entering the registration number of the exiting car. The car park attendant needs to be ab le to search for a car by its registration number, causing its bay location to be highlighted on the screen by flashing it . When requested, the application should display the number of cars currently residing in the car park. At all times, a pictorial repr esentation of the car park (as shown in figure 1) should be displayed, with colour coding to indicate bays in use (coloured red) and free (coloured green). You can assume the car p ark has a maximum capacity of 15 cars and that you should implement a suitab le storage structure using a 15 -­‐ element array of Cars. 1. Create suitable functionality to achie ve the objectives set out above: a. To ‘Add’ a new car and enter its registration number and other characteristics (‘high val u e’ and ‘large’) . b. To allocate a suitable parking bay for each incoming vehicle. c. To de -­‐ allocate a parking bay when a vehicle leaves . d. A search function, which takes a registration number and causes the corresponding parking bay location to flash on the screen . e. A function to report the curr ent number of cars in the car park. The precise user interface design is up to you. However, clearly it will need to provide the car park attendant with the ability to 1) Add a Car, 2) Remove a Car, 3) Search for a car, 4) Report number of cars currently parked and 5) some way of exiting the system
