  1. Project Details 

B(i) - Background information and description The Police regularly patrol the roads to deter and detect dangerous driving. There are heavy penalties, including demerit points, fines and on-the-spot licence suspensions, for drivers who break the law1. As an unrestricted-licence driver in NSW you start with zero demerit points. If you commit an offence that has a demerit point penalty, they are then added to your driving record. If you reach or exceed the maximum demerit points allowable for your licence within a 3-year period, your licence will be suspended2. Unrestricted NSW driver licence holders who reach or exceed 13 demerit points are sent a Notice of Suspension, or are refused a licence if they apply to renew one3. Driving offences include, but are not limited to, alcohol and drug offences, heavy vehicle offences, motorcycle offences, seat belt and child restraint offences, speeding, street racing, unlicensed driving4

In this assignment, you will create an object-oriented, menu-driven Java program that implements a simplified range of functionalities relating to infringements for speeding offences and the resulting demerit point calculations. The Java program will retrieve data from secondary storage, store the data in memory in appropriate data structures using objects, sort and search the data, generate on-screen and file-based reports, and save data to secondary storage. The specific functional requirements for the assignment are described in section B(ii) of this document. The text files that are to be used for this assignment are described in section B(iii). The classes that must be used as a minimum are described in section B(iv).

2 https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/check-your-demerit-points 

3 https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/professional-drivers-demerit-points-threshold 

4 https://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/safety-rules/demerits-offences/index.html 

B(ii) - Program Requirements/Functionality The Java program must 

  1. a) be object-oriented, utilising the classes described in section B (iv) as a minimum. Other classes may also be 

needed to solve the program requirements; b) be menu-driven. The main menu must have the following menu items: 

  1. Display Drivers 2. Import Infringement File 3. Generate Suspension Report 4. Save Driver Records 5. Exit Program 
  2. c) be able to process the defined text files. The text files and their formats are described in section B (iii). 

Program Start-Up When the java program starts it must perform the following file-related operations: d) Read the data from the Driver.txt file into computer memory into an appropriate array of objects (see section B (iii) for a description of the Driver text file and section B (iv) for a description of the Driver class). If the Driver file does not exist then the user should be informed of this and given the opportunity to provide an alternative filename that contains the Driver data; 

After processing the Driver.txt file the program should display the main menu identified in section B(ii)(b) above. 

Main Menu Item Functionality The required functionality for each menu item is described as follows: 

  1. Display Drivers – when this menu option is selected the following actions should be performed by the program: 
  • Display an on-screen list of all drivers that were loaded into memory. The on-screen list must include the Licence Number, First Name, Last Name, Suburb, Demerit Points, and Licence Status for each driver. Ensure that the list is displayed in a clear and logical format with suitable headings. 

Extension Activity: As an extension to the stated on-screen list, provide the user with the option to display the report in descending-order of the Demerit Points. 

  1. Import Infringement File - when this menu option is selected the following actions should be performed by the program: 
  • Prompt the user for the name of the infringement file that is to be imported (see section B(iii) for an explanation about the file naming and sequencing of the infringement files). 
  • Import the chosen infringement file into memory 
  • As each infringement is read from the file, apply the penalties (demerit points, fine, licence suspension) based upon the Excess Speed, to the relevant driver licence record in memory. The penalties are defined by the SpeedingPenalty class which is described in section B(iv)(b). Make sure that when applying the penalties to the driver record your program considers the maximum demerit points allowed as described in section B(i). 
  • If a licence number in the infringement file doesn’t match any of the existing driver licences held in memory then the penalties for the infringement cannot be applied and should simply be ignored. 
  • After processing all records in the chosen infringement file display an on-screen summary report that shows the total number of infringements correctly applied to drivers, the total revenue from fines correctly applied to drivers, the total number of licences suspended. 
  1. Generate Suspension Report - when this menu option is selected the following actions should be performed: 
  • generate an on-screen list of the driver licences that are currently suspended. The on-screen list must include the Licence Number, First Name, Last Name, Address, Suburb, Demerit Points for each suspended driver licence. Ensure that the list is displayed in a clear and logical format with suitable headings. 
  1. Save Driver Records – when this menu option is selected the following actions should be performed by the program: 
  • Write all driver licence records back to the driver.txt text file. Ensure that the format that is used to write back to the file matches the original file format as identified in section B(iii). By doing so, the newly created driver.txt file can now be used as the new input file for the next time the program is run

  1. Exit Program – when this menu option is selected the program must terminate. The program should not terminate until this option is chosen. If the driver record data has changed since the last save operation, then do not exit the program without first warning the user that changes will be lost if program exit is continued. Ask the user if they wish to continue to exit the program (without saving) or to cancel the exit. If the user chooses to cancel the exit, return program control to the main menu. If the user chooses to continue with the exit, allow the program to terminate without saving the driver file. 

B(iii) - Text files to be processed The data that is to be manipulated by your Java program for this assignment is contained in the text files driver.txt, and infringements#.txt. Examples of these text files are found in the zip file for the assignment. The data within these text files will need to be read into memory by your program so that it may be manipulated to solve many aspects of the required functionality of the assignment. The text files have been created to conform to a particular format. The format for each file is described below: 

File: driver.txt This file contains a full record of unrestricted NSW driver licence holders. Each line within the file represents an individual driver, and has the following format: 

Licence Number, Licence Class, First Name, Last Name, Address, Suburb, Postcode, Demerit Points, Licence Status 

where each data item is separated by a comma (,). The following table provides a brief explanation of each of these data items: 

Data Item Explanation Extra Notes Licence Number the driver’s licence number Licence Class the class of licence Possible values are C, R, LR, MR, HR, HC, MC5 First Name the driver’s first name Last Name the driver’s surname Address the driver’s home address Suburb the driver’s home suburb Postcode the driver’s home postcode Demerit Points the driver’s current accumulated 

demerit points 

refer to section B(i) for description of how demerit points work in NSW Licence Status the status of the driver’s licence values are either “Valid” or “Suspended” 

File: infringments#.txt There are multiple infringement files which are numbered in sequence. These files contain a record of infringements for drivers that have committed a speeding offence that has a demerit point penalty. Each line within the files represent an individual infringement for a driver. A driver may possibly receive more than one infringement if they have been booked for speeding more than once. If a driver has not received an infringement then there will not be any infringements in the files (ie, not all drivers will appear in the files). Each infringement file has the following format: 

Infringement Number, Licence Number, Date of Infringement, Excess Speed 

where each data item is separated by a comma (,). The following table provides a brief explanation of each of these data items: 

Data Item Explanation Extra Notes Infringement Number a unique numeric identifier for the 

infringement Licence Number the drivers licence number The licence number may not match any 

of the drivers in the driver records. See note 2 below for further detail Date of Infringement the date when the infringement occurred Excess Speed the number of km/h above the speed limit 

Multiple infringements.txt files will be provided over time in vUWS. Each file represents a different set of infringements and can be applied to the driver record sequentially. That is, infringements1.txt corresponds to infringements that were issued in period 1, infringements2.txt corresponds to infringements that were issued in period 2, infringements3.txt corresponds 

5 https://www.rms.nsw.gov.au/roads/licence/driver/licence-classes.html 

Page 3 of 6 

to infringements that were issued in period 3, and so on. These three files would be applied to the driver records separately but in the sequence 1, 2, 3 based upon the program operator’s choice of file to process. 

Notes: 1. As indicated in Program Start Up, when reading the Driver text file into memory the data should be read into appropriate array of objects. The classes for these objects are briefly outlined in section B(iv). 2. As indicated in the table above, the licence number in the infringement file may not match any of the drivers in the loaded driver records. This may occur for different reasons such as the driver holding a non-NSW licence, or an error in recording of the licence number. 3. We will use different sets of data for marking; the number of lines of data, and the data values in the text files will be different from those supplied with the assignment. This is to ensure that your solution has not relied upon specific data values or the number of lines in the text files to work. You should therefore test your program with different data files of varying length and varying data before submission. 

B(iv) - Required Classes To write your solution for this assignment it is a requirement that you write appropriate code for at least the following java Classes: 

  1. a) Driver b) SpeedingPenalty 

These classes are described in general terms as follows: 

  1. a) Driver class: The Driver class represents an individual NSW licence holder (driver). The Driver class needs data 

fields for 

  • the Licence Number of the driver (a string) 
  • Licence Class of the driver (a string) 
  • First name of the driver (a string) 
  • Last name of the driver (a string) 
  • Address of the driver (a string) 
  • Suburb of the driver (a string) 
  • Demerit Points (a whole number) 
  • Licence Status (a string) The Driver class needs appropriate constructors, accessors, and mutators where necessary and other appropriate methods based upon the general requirements of the assignment specification – that is, you will need to identify if the Driver class is required to perform any other actions and implement the necessary methods in the class. 
  1. b) SpeedingPenalty class: The SpeedingPenalty class represents the different penalties that are applicable for speeding offences in NSW for unrestricted licence drivers (note: this class does not cover all possible speeding offences for all types of driver types (e.g., not Learner or Provisional licence holders, etc)). A partially complete SpeedingPenalty class has been provided in the assignment zip file. The class contains data identifying the Excess Speed, the corresponding Demerit Point penalty, corresponding monetary fine, and whether the penalty includes automatic suspension of licence. The data fields provided in the SpeedingPenalty class are static and are: 
  • ExcessSpeed – an array of excess speed values that represent the boundary conditions for applying penalties for speeding offences (this is further explained below in the table and by examples) 
  • DemeritPoints – an array of demerit points applicable for the different speed excesses 
  • Fine – an array of monetary fines applicable for the different speed excesses 
  • LicenceSuspension – an array indicating whether automatic suspension applies for the different speed excesses 

The following is a tabular representation of the data in the four arrays in the SpeedingPenalty class that may assist you to understand the relationship between the arrays and the data: 

Excess Speed (km/h) Demerit Point 

Penalty 

Fine Automatic Licence 

Suspension Exceed speed limit by more than 0 km/h 1 $360.00 No (false) Exceed speed limit by more than 10 km/h 3 $481.00 No (false) Exceed speed limit by more than 20 km/h 4 $599.00 No (false) Exceed speed limit by more than 30 km/h 5 $1441.00 Yes (true) Exceed speed limit by more than 45 km/h 6 $3762.00 Yes (true) 

Each of the arrays in the class have been initialised with the values shown in the table above; do not change the arrays in any way. Each of the arrays run in parallel to the others in the class. That is, if we know the excess 

Page 4 of 6 

speed for an infringement then we can determine the demerit points, fine, and whether the licence is automatically suspended by looking at the corresponding element in the other arrays. The following examples illustrate this idea. 

Example 1: if a driver is booked driving at 10 km/h over the speed limit then the penalties would be loss of 1 demerit point and a fine of $360. Example 2: If a driver was booked driving at 22 km/h over the speed limit then the penalties would be loss of 4 demerit points and a fine of $599. Example 3: If a driver was booked driving at 46 km/h over the speed limit then the penalties would be loss of 6 demerit points, a fine of $3762 and automatic suspension of licence. 

Since the SpeedingPenalty class is meant to be a utility class and its data fields and methods are static, constructors and mutators are not needed. However, you will need to implement appropriate accessors where necessary and other appropriate static methods for this class based upon the general requirements of the assignment specification. A method called findPenaltyIndex has been supplied in the class; do not change this method in anyway. This method finds the index of the Excess Speed value in the ExcessSpeed array. This value can then be used by other methods to determine the corresponding penalties for the infringement. 

Apart from the two classes identified above it is possible that you may also need to write other classes depending upon your solution method.
