The State Patrol Ticket Processing System

The purpose of the state patrol ticket processing system is to record driver violations, to keep records of the fines paid by drivers when they plead guilty or are found guilty of moving violations by the courts, and to notify the court that a warrant should be issued when such fines are not paid in a timely manner. The system does not maintain data on accidents, insurance, driving history and driver's licenses. These data are managed in separate systems and can be accessed by the State Patrol ticket processing system. The current system does not allow online payment or requesting/scheduling a court date/time for a ticket.

The data used by the ticket processing system involves driver data, officer data, and court data. The system creates and maintains ticket data. Driver data used includes license number, name, address, date of birth, date licensed, and so on. Court and officer data include the name and address of each respectively. Ticket data created includes ticket number (each is unique and preprinted on each sheet of the officer's ticket book), location, ticket type, ticket date, ticket time and fine amount. Data related to ticket processing such as trial (plea date, trial date, verdict, fine amount), payment (amount and date paid), and warrant (date, type) are also recorded.

Each driver may have zero or more tickets, and each ticket applies to only one driver.

Other System Requirements:

When an officer issues a ticket to a driver, the ticket is also entered into the system. A new ticket record is created.

The driver can pay the fine online using the ticket number.

In some cases, the driver claims innocence by requesting a trial online. The system will then looks up driver, ticket, and officer information, and sends a ticket details report to the appropriate court.

The court schedules a trial date and notifies the driver of the date and time.

When the trial is completed, the court sends the verdict to the ticketing system. The verdict and trial date are recorded for the ticket. If the verdict is innocent, the system that produces driving record reports for insurance companies will ignore the ticket. If the verdict is guilty, the court informs the driver the amount of fine.

If the driver fails to pay the fine within the required period, the ticket processing system produces a warrant request notice and sends it to the court. What happens then is in the hands of the court.

Tasks:

Develop a class diagram for the System. Your class diagram should include classes, attributes, and operations, as well as multiplicities of the association relationships between classes.
