Date: 1/27/2013
Current Status: Website has been worked created and has made significant progress on the general design and the beginning information completed. I have had my resume reworked, reviewed by both of my parents, and it has been posted on the website.
Tasks for the future: Create a scope analysis for my meeting with Dr. Pankratz next week.
Date: 2/3/2013
Current Status: The website has been uploaded online and the scope has been completed. I started the program making a form containing a Google map of Hartford. The user interface main menu screen design and layout was created.
Tasks for the future: Create a database with a list of tables containing latitude/longitude coordinates. Create markers on the screen in the locations of the coordinates and draw the routes between them to show visually on the screen.
Date: 2/10/2013
Current Status: I have created a database server containing a table with a list of destination location coordinates across the city of Hartford. I have created a log-in form where users can type in MySQL database server information to gain access to information from the tables in a database.
Tasks for the future: With the database information, collect coordinate locations and have them read into the program to display visual markers of their location on the screen. Display information about how long one location is from another and display estimated time of arrival.
Date: 2/17/2013
Current Status: Found images for destination stops and placed their marker locations on the screen based on the information read in from the database table. Have information on the screen about the distance one marker is from another, the estimated time of arrival, and the verbal step-by-step directions on how to get there.
Tasks for the future: Have the user interface interact with the driver app screen so as to collect starting and ending location coordinates or addresses and display directional help information on the screen as well as displaying their marker locations as well.
Date: 2/24/2013
Current Status: Got user interface to interact with the driver app screen to collect starting and ending location coordinates or addresses and display directional help information on the screen as well as displaying their marker locations as well. Began events with an arrived button that will update the customer queue information when they arrive at their desired location. Created a cancel appointment button event to allow them to remove any customer appointment the driver desires. Created a change current appointment button event that will allow a user to change what customer will be the current appointment being driven.
Tasks for the future: Create a pan and a zoom feature to change the layout and state of the map. Also get a count of the current passengers on-board as well as the amount of wheelchairs contained on the bus.
Date: 3/3/2013
Current Status: Implemented the pan and the zoom feature on the map as well as the customer count of passengers and wheelchairs currently on the bus.
Tasks for the future: Create a feature so that when you click on a customer, it displays all information about his current destination location based on where the taxi bus is located currently. Also have a marker icon next to customer name in queue telling where they want to go rather than displaying it in text.
Date: 3/10/2013
Current Status: Created a marker key to show what each icon represents on the map and improved the scalability of the application for different computer browsers.
Tasks for the future: Create a feature for when a customer is clicked click in the queue to show their desired route's information.
Date 3/17/2013
Current Status: Created section on the tool to display a customer's current and desired destination, the duration and distance of time for his desired route, and the number of directional steps needed to get there when a customer is clicked in the queue.
Tasks for the future: Use the feature created above to allow for multiple users to be clicked on and display their current information for different combinations of customers to be picked up in a certain order. This will allow the driver to make a decision on who they want to pick up next based on the results they see from the customers that they choose in the queue.
Date: 3/24/2013
Current Status: Implemented the random event threading to activate a new customer to the queue at a random period of time.
Tasks for the future: Still need to implement the feature for selecting multiple users to display total ride duration and time.
Date: 3/31/2013
Current Status: Easter break, no progress made.
Tasks for the future: Still need to implement the feature for selecting multiple users to display total ride duration and time.
Date: 4/7/2013
Current Status: Implemented the feature to select multiple customers and display total and individual destination data allowing a driver to see how different combinations of customers will affect total duration and distance. Put in feature to cancel multiple customer appointments at one time when they are selected in the queue. I created a form that will present all current customers in the queue and allow a user to select a customer to become the main route to be driven. Finally, I began documentation and testing.
Tasks for the future: Finish documentation and test the tool so that it runs flawlessly for the presentation. Also, create the one paragraph abstract of the project to be shown on the website.
Date: 4/14/2013
Current Status: Finished documentation and finished testing scenarios to ensure no errors are present in the application. Created the abstract to go on the website.
Tasks for the future: Create slide show and prepare for the presentation. Get into Cofrin room 15 before the presentation to test the set-up and the scalability of the tool so that it is all ready to go on April 22nd.
Date: 4/21/2013
Current Status: Presented my tool on April 22nd, which went well (whew).
Tasks for the future: Prepare for the Defense - Print off source code and get into Cofrin room 203 to test the set-up and scalability of the tool so that it is ready for the defense on April 29th.
Date: 4/29/2013
Current Status: Completed the Defense with the CS faculty on April 29th.
Tasks for the future: Finish the website, create the project binder, and put all documentation, the website, references, and other items onto a flashdisk.
