This practicum project is a portion of the program used using C++ to meliorate the efficiency, safety and traffic flow in roadways. A miniature model of the whole system is mounted up to assure the specification or features of the modular programs using the software employed.The actual and complete system is not a part of the study such that the main program was modified to a form that features only the task required by the sub-problem areas.The devices in actual system has been changed intentionally to protect the hardware design used by the company and improvised or substitute device was used instead. These devices include the interface card, loop detector, speakers for loud beep or soft beep, keypad, cables, IC led's, printer and the barrier. Due to this, the concentration of the modular program specifically for loop detector have no interruption since the acquired substitute does not feature function.Since the nature of implementing each task is modularized, the proponent assumes that whenever the created procedure or sub-program is called by the main program the parameters used are appropriate and consistent with the defined structure.The format used in auxiliary and output files are defined and required unquestionably by the company and they are intentionally revised differently from its actual for purposes of security. Each terminal provides built-in software functions for recording various transactions and other functions needed for an efficient toll system operation. Its flexible design allows system changes to answer future expansion or simply address specific customer needs.In the Toll System Configuration, one or more Micrologic Toll Terminals can be networked to a toll plaza computer for real-time retrieval and storage of transactions. This configuration allows for close monitoring of operator activities and toll transactions. In addition, the terminal can function as a stand-alone unit. It is equipped with single or dual diskette drives to serve as back-ups for storing transaction information. This is ideal for low cost applications, wherein transaction data are recorded in secondary storage media, such as diskettes.The algorithm developed by the author as far as each module is concerned, has already served its purpose as a part the overall software to manufacture the product that the company plans to send to China. Since the task assigned to the author was modular in nature, he needed to regularly check for the parameters that must be considered to that it may serve the requirement needed by the main program. This point, the author realized and appreciated the advantages offered by an object oriented design that is not usually apparent on small-scale programs. Object oriented design offers flexibility, efficiency, and effectiveness that is not available in other programming style.
