ABSTRACT
Problem Statement
Thousands of automobiles are lost each year in the state and thousands of automobiles are also recovered by the Police from when they catch the culprits or even when the culprits leave the vehicles they have stolen after they have used them. The usual problem with the recovered vehicles reaching the actual owners is that the vehicle need not be found in the same jurisdiction as one in which the complaint was launched. So, when a vehicle is recovered, usually the Police try to trace out the actual owner of the vehicle from the RTO based on the license and chassis number. But this is a lengthy and time consuming process for the RTO to trace out the actual owners from the records and inform back to the Police stations. Because of these delays, vehicles that are recovered also take a long time to actually reach their owners.
Proposed Solution
There is a need for a centralized SMS based application for the police department to query the details of the vehicle recovered by sending out an SMS. This application should allow users to capture the details of the stolen vehicles, along with the owner details and FIR details, so that when someone queries for this vehicle when found, based on the chassis number, they get the information about the actual owner as well as the Police station in which the complaint was launched.
The same application can also be used by the general public while buying second hand vehicles to check if they are stolen property. This application can also be used to check the details of any suspicious unattended vehicles, thus encouraging the public participation in recovering the stolen vehicles.
Processes Involved
• Access Management process to allow authorized Police and data entry personnel
• Police Station information setup and maintenance process
• Lost Vehicles Information setup and maintenance process
• SMS request parsing and information querying process
• SMS delivery process
• Archiving and Backup process
Modules Involved
• Access management Module: This module is used by the system Admin to setup authorized Police and data-entry user’s access.
• Police Station information setup and maintenance Module: This module allows the authorized users to setup and maintain information related to the police stations in the state.
• Lost Vehicles information setup and maintenance Module: This module allows the authorized/data entry users to setup and maintain information related lost vehicles along with the FIR details.
• SMS Query Reading Module: Reads the incoming SMS and prepares the search string by parsing the SMS message.
• Search Results Notification Module: Searches the database for the matching chassis number and sends back the appropriate details matching the search criteria.
• Archiving and backup Module: Allows Admin users to Archive/backup old data on the system
Application Development: System Requirements
1. Windows Operating System
2. Front-end: Microsoft .Net Framework and Visual Studio (Express Edition)

1.1 INTRODUCTION TO PROJECT
Thousands of automobiles are lost each year in the state and thousands of automobiles are also recovered by the Police from when they catch the culprits or even when the culprits leave the vehicles they have stolen after they have used them. The usual problem with the recovered vehicles reaching the actual owners is that the vehicle need not be found in the same jurisdiction as one in which the complaint was launched. So, when a vehicle is recovered, usually the Police try to trace out the actual owner of the vehicle from the RTO based on the license and chassis number. But this is a lengthy and time consuming process for the RTO to trace out the actual owners from the records and inform back to the Police stations. Because of these delays, vehicles that are recovered also take a long time to actually reach their owners.
All these tasks can be performed by anyone without being in the same office of the executive with the technological advanced made today. But there is no appropriate system to streamline the processes involved and allow seamless between the executive and the assistant even though they are on two different continents.
For this purpose a web based applications is developed, which allows executives and assistants to pair up.

2. SYSTEM ANALYSIS
2.1 INTRODUCTION
After analyzing the requirements of the task to be performed, the next step is to analyze the problem and understand its context. The first activity in the phase is studying the existing system and other is to understand the requirements and domain of the new system. Both the activities are equally important, but the first activity serves as a basis of giving the functional specifications and then successful design of the proposed system. Understanding the properties and requirements of a new system is more difficult and requires creative thinking and understanding of existing running system is also difficult, improper understanding of present system can lead diversion from solution.
2.2 ANALYSIS MODEL
The model that is basically being followed is the SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT LIFE CYCLE MODEL, which states that the phases are organized in a linear order. First of all the feasibility study is done. Once that part is over the requirement analysis and project planning begins. If system exists one then modification and addition of new module is needed, analysis of present system can be used as basic model.
The design starts after the requirement analysis is complete and the coding begins after the design is complete. Once the programming is completed, the testing is done. In this model the sequence of activities performed in a software development project are: -
Project Planning
Requirements Definition
Design
Development
Integration & Test
Installation & Acceptance
The relationship of each stage to the others can be roughly described as a
Waterfall, where the outputs from a specific stage serve as the initial inputs for the
following stage.
2.3 STUDY OF THE SYSTEM
GUI’S
In the flexibility of the uses the interface has been developed a graphics concept in mind, associated through a browser interface. The GUI’S at the top level have been categorized as
1. Administrative user interface
2. The operational or generic user interface
The administrative user interface concentrates on the consistent information that is practically, part of the organizational activities and which needs proper authentication for the data collection. The interfaces help the administrations with all the transactional states like Data insertion, Data deletion and Date updating along with the extensive data search capabilities.
The operational or generic user interface helps the users upon the system in transactions through the existing data and required services. The operational user interface also helps the ordinary users in managing their own information helps the ordinary users in managing their own information in a customized manner as per the assisted flexibilities.
NUMBER OF MODULES
The system after careful analysis has been identified to be presented with the following modules:
• Access management Module
• Police Station information setup and maintenance Module
• Lost Vehicles information setup and maintenance Module
• SMS Query Reading Module
• Search Results Notification Module
• Archiving and cleanup Module
Modules Involved
• Access management Module: This module is used by the system Admin to setup authorized Police and data-entry user’s access.
• Police Station information setup and maintenance Module: This module allows the authorized users to setup and maintain information related to the police stations in the state.
• Lost Vehicles information setup and maintenance Module: This module allows the authorized/data entry users to setup and maintain information related lost vehicles along with the FIR details.
• SMS Query Reading Module: Reads the incoming SMS and prepares the search string by parsing the SMS message.
• Search Results Notification Module: Searches the database for the matching chassis number and sends back the appropriate details matching the search criteria.
• Archiving and backup Module: Allows Admin users to Archive/backup old data on the system
2.4 HARDWARE & SOFTWARE REQUIRMENTS
Requirement Specification plays an important role to create quality software solution; Requirements are refined and analyzed to assess the clarity.
Requirements are represented in a manner that ultimately leads to successful software implementation. Each requirement must be consistent with the overall objective. The development of this project deals with the following requirements:
• Hardware Requirements
• Software Requirements
HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS
The selection of hardware is very important in the existence and proper working of any software. In the selection of hardware, the size and the capacity requirements are also important.
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
The software requirements specification is produces at the culmination of the analysis tasks. One of the most difficult tasks is that, the selection of the software, once system requirement is known by determining whether a particular software package fits the requirements.
3. FEASIBILITY REPORT
INTTRODUCTION
Preliminary investigation examine project feasibility, the likelihood the system will be useful to the organization. The main objective of the feasibility study is to test the Technical, Operational and Economical feasibility for adding new modules and debugging old running system. All system is feasible if they are unlimited resources and infinite time. There are aspects in the feasibility study portion of the preliminary investigation:
• Technical Feasibility
• Operation Feasibility
• Economical Feasibility
3.1 TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY
The technical issue usually raised during the feasibility stage of the investigation includes the following:
• Does the necessary technology exist to do what is suggested?
• Do the proposed equipments have the technical capacity to hold the data required to use the new system?
• Will the proposed system provide adequate response to inquiries, regardless of the number or location of users?
• Can the system be upgraded if developed?
• Are there technical guarantees of accuracy, reliability, ease of access and data security?
Earlier no system existed to cater to the needs of ‘Secure Infrastructure Implementation System’. The current system developed is technically feasible. It is a web based user interface for audit workflow at NIC-CSD. Thus it provides an easy access to the users. The database’s purpose is to create, establish and maintain a workflow among various entities in order to facilitate all concerned users in their various capacities or roles. Permission to the users would be granted based on the roles specified. Therefore, it provides the technical guarantee of accuracy, reliability and security. The software and hard requirements for the development of this project are not many and are already available in-house at NIC or are available as free as open source. The work for the project is done with the current equipment and existing software technology. Necessary bandwidth exists for providing a fast feedback to the users irrespective of the number of users using the system.
3.2 OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY
Proposed projects are beneficial only if they can be turned out into information system. That will meet the organization’s operating requirements. Operational feasibility aspects of the project are to be taken as an important part of the project implementation. Some of the important issues raised are to test the operational feasibility of a project includes the following: -
• Is there sufficient support for the management from the users?
• Will the system be used and work properly if it is being developed and implemented?
• Will there be any resistance from the user that will undermine the possible application benefits?
This system is targeted to be in accordance with the above-mentioned issues. Beforehand, the management issues and user requirements have been taken into consideration. So there is no question of resistance from the users that can undermine the possible application benefits.
The well-planned design would ensure the optimal utilization of the computer resources and would help in the improvement of performance status.
3.3 ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY
A system can be developed technically and that will be used if installed must still be a good investment for the organization. In the economical feasibility, the development cost in creating the system is evaluated against the ultimate benefit derived from the new systems. Financial benefits must equal or exceed the costs.
The system is economically feasible. It does not require any addition hardware or software. Since the interface for this system is developed using the existing resources and technologies available at NIC, There is nominal expenditure and economical feasibility for certain.
