Fleet is:
The set of a company’s commercial motor vehicles such as cars, vans, trucks,
ships etc.
Fleet management of a company's vehicle fleet
associates with:
• vehicle financing • driver management
• vehicle maintenance • fuel management
• vehicle tracking and diagnostics • health & safety management

Fleet Management System: Types:
• reduces costs • Fleet maintenance
• keeps data organized • Tool management
• allows easy information access • Warehouse management
• performs faster iterations • GPS tracking
• gives better fleet observability
Web Based, because:
• it is device, platform and browser independent
• allows the users to access it at “anytime” and from “anywhere”
• improves team coordination

Project Goals: Benefits:
• Lower expenses
• To explore fleet management processes
• Improved Workflow
• Better dispatch
• Good interactivity
• To research for common and basic • Flexibility
problems related to fleet maintenance
• To develop experimental model for fleet
management information system
realized in World Wide Web
environment.

Texar Bulgaria
The administrative structure in Texar -
Bulgaria represents a hierarchical system:
Texar is a French company
operating in Bulgaria in the
fields of dressmaking.
Texar has a fleet of around
40 cars in Bulgaria, planning
to extend it in the near future.

The Stages of Software Development:
1. Information Architecture & Information Flow
2. Database Structure
3. User Interface Design
4. Front-End Development
5. Back-End Development

Tiers
Applications are usually broken into logical chunks called "tiers", where every
tier is assigned a role.
1. Presentation tier – CSS, xHTML, jQuery
2. Application tier - PHP, jQuery
3. Storage tier - MySQL Database

Database Structure

Task Scheduling and Assignment Schedule
Several types of scheduling exist: no
• Once per n days (Today - Start Date) >= Time Period
• Every nth day of the month
• Every nth month of the year yes
• After n thousand kilometers Add Task Info
Assign User
yes
Assigned Tasks > 6
no
Task Added

System Specification:
• File Architecture
• Authentication
• Data request and visualization
• Application Navigation
• Listing Information
• Edit and Delete Data
• Scheduling

Conclusion
The automated web based Fleet Management System offers new
possibilities for workflow planning and organization by:
• Running a well structured database
• Guaranteeing fast and easy information access
• Guaranteeing data protection
• Improving dispatch
• Presenting good interactivity and flexibility
