• Here is summarization for the Airport Controller project.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-1.png

  • Write a small application to manage information system in an airport.
  • They said here it is a "small" application. However, I to make a "small" application I think I have been thinking to hard.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-2.png

  • The application is intended to manage arrival and departure of all arriving and ongoing out airplanes.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-6.png

  • Here, the first user is mentioned, the airport.
  • The airport needs to state these informations attached for each departing and ongoing airplanes.
    • Airport which the airplane departing from.
    • Airport which the airplane going to.
    • The date of of these airplanes departing or going to this (particular) airport.
    • The flight codes (for example AZ383, ...).
  • So these requirements means that this application will be made specifically for an airport. The airport management and not the air traffic controller (ATC).

./20170816-2007-cet-1-7.png

  • Every time a flight starts (departing from this airport) the controller (I think this is the controller's job) needs to assign which lane will be used to depart and date and time.
  • Thus, there are only 2 variables need to be filled by the ATC.
    • When (date and time).
    • Which lane is used.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-8.png

  • Same variables are there when an airplane just landed into this airport.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-9.png

  • Each controller is represented by a code and a name (first name and last name).
  • There are 3 fields need to be there when registering ATC.
    • Code.
    • First name.
    • Last name.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-10.png

  • The user need to state the flight codes.
  • However, I am confused who is the "user"? The airport management itself or the ATCs?

./20170816-2007-cet-1-11.png

./20170816-2007-cet-1-12.png

  • The system then visualizes the data of the flight.
  • However, it is stated here that the data needs to be an actual flight data.
  • I think I need to search for an API that has all airplanes schedule.
  • I am thinking of Schipol Airport. However, since I think Schipol is too big, I would consider smaller airport like the one in Eindhoven.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-13.png

./20170816-2007-cet-1-14.png

  • The user (I assume this is the ATC) chooses if they want to register new departure or arrival.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-15.png

  • The statement above means that every controller is attached to a flight.
  • There is this important statement. The system adds the controller to the flight departure and arrival.
  • So, I was thinking that I need to have two different kind of users: the airport management and then the ATCs.
  • However, "the system" mentioned here, I think, means that the airport management itself is a back - end system that adjust everything automatically.
  • The only human - users are those designated as ATC.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-16.png

  • The system will automatically register all incoming real - time data.
  • Then it needs to put all the data into a nice web page.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-17.png

  • These are some bonus point for this assignment.
  • The system needs to be able to visualize error messages and ask the user to input the correct parameters.
  • However, how can be this happened (or simulated)?
  • The system will automatically enter data from the API. And there is little to no chance that the API will provide a wrong flight data.
  • Or should I just create a simulation where time runs 10 times faster (or more) and then create a function to randomly and occasionally put an invalid flight data.
  • I will think about this later.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-18.png

  • It says here that all departure and arrival is already registered. And then the system visualize an error message that asks the the user (ATC?) to edit the correct data.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-19.png

  • If the controller is not assigned then the system visualize an error and ask the user to correct the data.
  • I started to think that this application has nothing to do with ATC.
  • This application more like an airport manager that will assign free ATC to a flight.
  • And then the ATC automatically assign the lane and the date.
  • I will look into the whole document again later.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-20.png

  • I need to develop the structure and the schema of the application.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-21.png

  • Develop smaller fragments of the application to use cases.
  • I think, for this assignment, it will be good to display my knowledge on unit testing with Angular and Python as well.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-22.png

./20170816-2007-cet-1-23.png

  • Use HTML5 for structuring the view contents.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-24.png

  • Use JavaScript and preferably with AngularJS 1.X and JQuery.
  • My intention for this project is to create the least amount of library possible.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-25.png

  • The assignment tells that the persistent data can be made with database or file.
  • However, I think this would be good to display my skill on designing database.

./20170816-2007-cet-1-26.png

  • Here are all the criteria for my airport management application.
    • Schema of the application (please refer to "use case" in UML).
    • Contextual separation between presentation, content, and behavior (please use MVC!).
    • Demonstrated my skills with JavaScript.
    • Access from multiple browser (perhaps, make this application mobile friendly as well).
    • Performance!
    • Additionally, I think I would like to show off my Linux experience as well.
      • The interviewer last call told me that they use Vagrant.
      • However, there are 2 other options/complimentary of Vagrant.
        • Docker.
        • Kubernetes.
        • Vagrant.
  • Here is the .pdf file for the details and requirements document.
