Abstract

The availability of precise and exact flight data is crucial to effectively manage aircraft operator’s billing, air transport business operations and also to ensure flight safety. This project work has aimed to design and implement systems that can efficiently manage flight journals, aircraft operators invoicing, and produce traffic Statistics and Forecasting for Ethiopian air transport industry. System requirements have been rigorously collected from Ethiopian Civil Aviation and Ethiopian Airports Enterprises. Review of literatures and related works which are used in the transport industry are also conducted. The design and implementation of the system is done in accordance to the identified functional and non functional requirements. Object oriented software engineering and ASP.NET 2.0 platform is employed to develop the system. The system is designed in such a way to be accessible via the Internet. Users have access based on their privilege level. The system has different subsystems to meet its core functionalities. The Flight plan subsystem imports planned flights from Flight Plan database to the main database so as to enable Air Traffic controllers to produce actual flight journals. The Flight Journal Management subsystem manages registration and preparation of different flight journals. The Billing Management subsystem is in charge of processing different aircraft operator’s charges. This subsystem also manages different invoice operations including sending the specified invoice to the customer via email. The System Utility Management subsystem manages user account management tasks and sets up different system parameters used by the system. The Statistics and Report subsystem generates different statistics and standard reports whereas the Forecasting subsystem enables users to generate aircraft movement traffic forecasting using the designed forecasting model. The system has been tested with seven years actual data and it has been observed that the system successfully meets the entire requirement identified. In addition, we evaluated our system through a questionnaire which is prepared by considering the ISO 9241-11 usability test standard attributes. The results of the evaluation have shown that our system is easy to use, efficient, effective, accurate, and can save time of professionals.
