Abstract:

The Medical Supply Management System. is an innovative web-based application

developed to modernize and streamline the management of bus passes for students and
commuters. This system addresses the inherent challenges associated with traditional bus
pass issuance processes, such as lengthy queues, cumbersome paperwork, and manual errors
that often lead to user frustration and administrative inefficiencies. By harnessing the
capabilities of Django, a high-level Python web framework, and leveraging MySQL for
database management, the application automates key functionalities including the issuance,
renewal, and validation of bus passes.

The primary objective of this project is to provide a user-friendly platform that simplifies the
application process for users while enhancing operational efficiency for administrative staff.
With the ability to submit applications online, users can effortlessly apply for and manage
their bus passes without the need for physical documentation. The system's intuitive
interface is designed to accommodate users of varying technical proficiency, ensuring
accessibility for all individuals. In addition to improving user experience, the integrates
secure online payment gateways, allowing users to complete financial transactions with
confidence and convenience. This feature minimizes the risks associated with cash handling
and promotes financial accountability within the transportation authority.

The system also incorporates real-time updates on application statuses, enabling users to
track their applications and renewals. Such transparency not only fosters trust among users
but also reduces the volume of inquiries directed at administrative staff, allowing them to
focus on other critical tasks.

To evaluate the effectiveness of the Bus Pass System, a comprehensive methodology was
employed, encompassing requirement analysis, system design, development, testing, and
deployment. The results indicate significant improvements in processing times, user
adoption rates, and data management accuracy, as well as enhanced financial transparency
through secure transactions.

Ultimately, the Bus Pass System represents a significant step toward digitization in public
services, demonstrating the potential for technology to transform traditional processes into
streamlined, efficient operations. This report presents a detailed overview of the project,
including its objectives, methodologies, results, and conclusions drawn from its
implementation. By providing a comprehensive solution for bus pass management, the Bus
Pass System aims to contribute to more efficient transportation networks and improved user
satisfaction.

Development Phases and Module Implementation

The development of the Bus Pass System followed a modular approach, ensuring that each
component was developed and tested independently before integration.

 User Registration and Authentication Module:

o Implemented using Django’s built-in authentication system, the user module
handles user registration, login, and profile management.
o Passwords are securely hashed using Django’s default password hashing
mechanism. Session management ensures that user sessions are handled
securely, with the risk of session hijacking mitigated.
o Sample Code:

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
class RegisterForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ['username', 'email', 'password1', 'password2']

 Bus Pass Application Module:

o Users can apply for a bus pass through a form where required documents, pass
type (monthly, yearly), and other details are submitted.
o Form validation is done through Django’s form class in forms.py, while bus
pass data is stored in the SQL database.
o Admins can approve or reject applications based on verification of documents,
a workflow managed via custom views and the Django admin panel.
o Code snippet:

class BusPass(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
pass_type = models.CharField(max_length=10)
issue_date = models.DateField()
expiry_date = models.DateField()

 Payment Integration Module:

Department of Computer Engineering, PES MCOE, PUNE

 P a g e | 19

o The system integrates with a payment gateway to handle online payments.

Once a user submits their application, they are redirected to a payment portal
where transactions are securely processed.
o Django’s transaction management ensures data consistency. In the case of
successful payment, the transaction is logged, and the pass is activated.
o Sample SQL for logging transactions:

INSERT INTO transactions (user_id, bus_pass_id, amount, status) VALUES

(%s, %s, %s, 'Success');

 Admin Dashboard:
o Admins have access to a dashboard that presents real-time data on user
applications, active bus passes, and pending payments. This is achieved
through a combination of Django views and the Django admin interface.
