ABSTRACT
Instruments used for
weighing are found in many organizations at the sea and airports for weighing
of luggages, at the post office of Sosoliso for weighing and billing
determination of items.
Normally these
organizations make use of ordinary bulky scales in analog form. The problems
with these techniques are; the bill of a read weight of item and inefficiency.
The aim of this project
is therefore to design, develop and implement a viable software system that may
be modified to read analog signals translated by Analog-Digital-converter
(ADC). The designed system accepts unit weight of items and rate (depends on
the distance), computes bills and generates a comprehensive airbill for
parcel/luggage section of Sosoliso airline.
The system is expected
to be very fast in computation precise in bill determination, flexible, easy to
read and has storage facilities. It is intelligent and therefore can be easily
adjusted and adapted to suit other applications not incorporated in this design
by hardware expansion and software modification.
A through description of
the hardware design and requirement of an automated luggage weighing device
which may implement the developed software system has been given as a stand
point for further research.
ORGANIZATION OF THE WORK
The incorporation of
intelligence in device previously thought to be dumb has opened up new
possibilities in man-machine interaction.
Chapter 1and 2 of this
work gave the introduction where the statement of the problems purpose of the
study significant of the study, scope or delimitation of the study and the
review of literatures respectively.
Chapter 3 deals with the
description and of analysis of the existing system, highlighting how information
flow, problems and objective.
The design of the new
system is discussed in chapter. This discusses fully the software luggage
billing system. It highlights the output and input specification and their
design it also depicts the general flow of information with system and
procedure flowcharts.
Chapter 5 is the
implementation stage where a pictorial overview of the developed software
system has been given in a program flowchart. The menus and sub-menus have been
highlighted while the modules have been identified and their function
explained. The integration of the developed software with the hardware is
described and tested accordingly.
Having know the problems
which users do encounter in trying to use a newly developed system.
Chapter 6 has given steps
and procedures which can be easily followed to enable efficient and effective
use of the system.
The last chapter has
recommended this work to the organizations which may find it appropriate in
luggage billing objects having listed its advantages over the traditional
method. This is also the concluding chapter of the work.

INTRODUCTION
We all know that
micro-processor have became one of the must widely used technology in the field
of computing information processing and management real-time processing,
telecommunication e.t.c.
Briefly, some of the
most impressive change which the microprocessor revolution has liquidifies
are:-
Ø Low cost of computing machinery and
micro-processor based device
Ø Tremendous improvement in the
system reliability and some times reduction in the size of such systems.
Ø The accuracy and consistency of such
system when properly programmed requires no over emphasis.
Ø Increased speed of computation
leading to higher through put.
These important
attributes possessed have led to their wide application in so many area of life
from computer system, home appliance to serious industrial and other office
machineries.
An automated luggage
billing device is an instrument, which is used in determining the weight of
object placed on its load cell. This device may be constructed in such a way
that it could be connected to a computer system for direct weight transmission
and the whole system may become computerized using an effective software
system. The system consists of a strain-guage transducer on which the luggage
is placed. The guage voltage is proportional to weight placed on it. The
voltage is fed directly to an ADC means (Analog-Digital converter) which in
turn converts the signals to corresponding binary code and presents it via
register. The binary coded data is usually received by the decoder/demultipler
as signals from the input lives of the internal expansion.
Having known how an
automated billing device works, a computer software-base luggage billing system
for parcel and luggage section of Sosoliso air line is a software which may
implement such device. It has been designed to accept weight of the luggage,
the distance (km) between location and destination in order to produce a
comprehensive bill which could be stored and manipulated according to users
choice.
1.1
THE STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Here I am trying to
identify the problems in carrying out the study. Some of the questions to be
asked are as follows:
Ø What are the factors militating
against the effective software based luggage billing system in an air line?
Ø To what extent is it effective?
Ø Should software based luggage
billing system in an air line be encouraged?
The research project
could be able to answer these questions at the end through the careful
explanation & presentation in line with stadarolized statistical concept as
to achieve the desired inference.
1.2
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The main purpose of this
work is to design-develop and implement a viable software system which will be
adopted in any organization that handles any luggage weighing objects and
consequently requires the bill of such weight luggages.
1.3
SIGNIFICANT OF THE STUDY
The knowledge of
software based luggage billing system in an air line enables the computer and
software based luggage billing department to know the type of luggage,
contents, check the security of the luggage, number of luggage, owner of the
luggage etc. The study will help to determine whether the company meets its
target & service level in luggage billing system. Specifically the study
will be remarkable in that it will help in:
Ø Checking exact content of the
luggage so as to avoid transportation of dangerous and bad goods.
Ø Extending a small (domestic) air
line to a very large air-line to a very large air-line (international)
Ø Having a good luggage checking for
a good turn over and operation; and
Ø Making an important contribution to
the over all success in an air-line.
SCOPE OF DELIMITATION OF
STUDY
This work is mainly
concerned will the software development that implement an automated luggage
billing device. It lists the necessary components and specificants and
describes thoroughly the construction and integration o the device with the
developed software system.
