Bikes & Scooters Rental System

This guide provides an overview of developing a Bikes & Scooters Rental System. The system enables users to rent bikes and scooters, manage bookings, and streamline rental operations.

System Overview

The Bikes & Scooters Rental System includes:

• Vehicle Management: Add, update, and remove bikes and scooters available for rent.
• Booking System: Allow users to book bikes and scooters, view availability, and manage their reservations.
• User Management: Handle user registration, login, and profile management.
• Payment Integration: Facilitate secure payments for rentals.
• Reporting and Analytics: Generate reports on rentals, bookings, and revenue.

Implementation Guide

Follow these steps to build the system:

1. Design the Database Schema

   Define the database schema to manage vehicles, bookings, users, and payments. Example schema:

   
                           -- Vehicles table
                           CREATE TABLE vehicles (
                               id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
                               type ENUM('bike', 'scooter'),
                               model VARCHAR(100),
                               registration_number VARCHAR(50),
                               status ENUM('available', 'rented', 'maintenance')
                           );
   
                           -- Users table
                           CREATE TABLE users (
                               id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
                               name VARCHAR(100),
                               email VARCHAR(100) UNIQUE,
                               password VARCHAR(255),
                               phone VARCHAR(15),
                               address TEXT
                           );
   
                           -- Bookings table
                           CREATE TABLE bookings (
                               id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
                               user_id INT,
                               vehicle_id INT,
                               start_time DATETIME,
                               end_time DATETIME,
                               status ENUM('confirmed', 'completed', 'cancelled'),
                               FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(id),
                               FOREIGN KEY (vehicle_id) REFERENCES vehicles(id)
                           );
   
                           -- Payments table
                           CREATE TABLE payments (
                               id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
                               booking_id INT,
                               amount DECIMAL(10, 2),
                               payment_method ENUM('credit_card', 'paypal'),
                               payment_status ENUM('pending', 'completed', 'failed'),
                               FOREIGN KEY (booking_id) REFERENCES bookings(id)
                           );
                       

2. Develop the Backend

   Create PHP scripts or use a framework like Laravel to manage CRUD operations for vehicles, users, and bookings. Implement payment integration using APIs like Stripe or PayPal.

   
                           // Example PHP code for adding a vehicle
                           if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') {
                               $type = $_POST['type'];
                               $model = $_POST['model'];
                               $registration_number = $_POST['registration_number'];
                               $status = 'available';
   
                               $stmt = $pdo->prepare('INSERT INTO vehicles (type, model, registration_number, status) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?)');
                               $stmt->execute([$type, $model, $registration_number, $status]);
                           }
                       

3. Build the User Interface

   Create web pages for users to view available vehicles, make bookings, and manage their profile. Include pages for admin users to manage vehicles and view reports.

   
                           
                           <form action="book_vehicle.php" method="post">
                               <label for="vehicle">Select Vehicle:</label>
                               <select id="vehicle" name="vehicle_id">
                                   
                               </select>
                               <label for="start_time">Start Time:</label>
                               <input type="datetime-local" id="start_time" name="start_time" required>
                               <label for="end_time">End Time:</label>
                               <input type="datetime-local" id="end_time" name="end_time" required>
                               <button type="submit">Book Vehicle</button>
                           </form>
                       

4. Implement Payment Integration

   Integrate a payment gateway to handle transactions. Ensure secure processing of payment information and confirmation of successful payments.

5. Testing and Deployment

   Thoroughly test the system to ensure functionality, security, and performance. Deploy the application to a web server and ensure all components are working as expected.
