Car Impound report
This project focuses on the vehicle intake logs report. The current system at
Gaborone Vehicle Recovery Services operates in a straightforward and organized
manner. When a vehicle is brought to the facility, all its details are recorded. This
includes the registration number, make, model, colour, and the reason for
impoundment. After logging the vehicle, it is assigned a specific spot in the storage
yard, and its location is also noted in the records to make retrieval easier.
The company keeps several types of records to ensure accountability and smooth
operations. These include vehicle intake logs that record details about every vehicle,
payment records that show all towing and storage fees paid by customers, and legal
documents such as police or court orders for impoundments. Incident reports are
also kept documenting any unusual events, and an inventory list is regularly updated
to keep track of all vehicles currently in the yard.
One field that is calculated in the system is the total fee that the vehicle owner must
pay to retrieve their vehicle. This fee consists of two parts: the towing fee and the
storage fee. The towing fee is a fixed amount, while the storage fee depends on how
long the vehicle has been in the impound yard. For example, if the towing fee is
P500 and the storage fee is P50 per day, a vehicle stored for 10 days will have a
total fee calculated as follows:
Total Fee=Towing Fee+ (Storage Fee per Day × Number of Days) \text {Total Fee} =
\text{Towing Fee} + (\text{Storage Fee per Day} \times \text{Number of
Days})Total Fee=Towing Fee+(Storage Fee per Day × Number of Days)
So, for this example:
Total Fee=500+(50×10) =1,000\text{Total Fee} = 500 + (50 \times 10) =
1,000Total Fee=500+(50×10)=1,000
This total fee is recorded in the payment records, and the vehicle owner must pay it
before retrieving their vehicle.
