CarSharing System – Software Engineering Assignment

This repository contains the design and analysis of a CarSharing platform, created as part of the course "Ανάλυση Συστημάτων και Τεχνολογία Λογισμικού" (Systems Analysis and Software Technology) in June 2024 at Harokopio University of Athens – Dept. of Informatics and Telematics.

The system provides functionality for vehicle owners to rent out their cars and for users to rent available vehicles securely and efficiently. It includes features such as vehicle registration, reservations, cancellations, live tracking, ratings, and administrative controls.

System Overview

The CarSharing platform supports the following key use cases:

• Vehicle Registration – Owners can add cars to the platform by submitting details and documents.
• Vehicle Search & Rental – Users can search, filter, and rent cars.
• Reservation Management – Users can cancel reservations; owners declare availability.
• Tracking & Delivery – Owners can track vehicles in real-time and confirm handovers.
• Rating System – Users rate vehicles; owners rate users with photos as proof.
• Administration – Admins manage users, vehicles, and rental statistics.

Non-functional requirements include GDPR compliance, scalability, cross-platform support, fast response times, and robust security.
