Assignment Task

Information

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 driving.

Description

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 of this document. The text files that are to be used for this assignment are described in section. The classes that must be used as a minimum are described in section.
