Travel Reservation System Research Articles

Reservation systems as a tool of tourist services marketing

The study of modern reservation systems was conducted to determine their role in the tourism industry and to improve understanding of the basics of marketing activities of tourism enterprises. The article aims to analyze the functioning of modern reservation systems in the market of tourist services, to structure the existing reservation systems according to the operation levels and according to the distribution channels of the tourist product. The main methods of scientific research were: chronological, systematic research, logical analysis, statistical and structural analysis, which made it possible to logically and systematically investigate the modern reservation systems of and determine their hierarchy. The result of the study was the substantiation and construction of a hierarchy of connections in the world market of tourist service reservation systems, based on the scale of coverage of the tourism sector and the distribution channels of tourist services. In total, there are 5 levels of travel reservation systems in the world. The authors came to the conclusion that modern reservation systems are a marketing tool for travel companies that contribute to the distribution and promotion of travel services

The main cause of the decline in the existence of air Cihampelas service is so expensive. So many people are switching using Cihampelas land as Travel between cities for example, as alternative means. This transport is rated more pocket friendly, because the cost offered is more affordable. But the community is still very minimal in the Kokoro which is about the availability of a successful trip. This is due to the provision of tickets that are still conventional. Therefore, by utilizing technology officials in the current communication, the author is interested to create a travel reservation system application that can run in a smartphone. This app will only be devoted to Android-based smartphones. The creation of this app uses Android Studio with Java as its main programming language. The application also uses the PHP Framework and MySQL databases with servers that are online. With this application, prospective Jeti can Kokoro about accurate travel related from the time, route, village TARIFF i.e. make a reservation and payment can be made in a grip anytime and anywhere.

The influence of an autonomous driving car operation on commuters’ departure times

Studies on new transportation services such as autonomous taxis and autonomous shuttles are underway in various cities around the world. Most of these studies discuss the effects (e.g., vehicle miles traveled, travel time, delay rate, and so on) of introducing new modes of transportation. Research on the introducing autonomous taxis on commuters’ departure times is limited. This study analyzed how closely commuters can get autonomous taxi services at the desired departure time. The departure times between using private cars and using autonomous taxis were compared to the commuters’ desired departure times. For the comparison, it was assumed that all commuters use autonomous taxis instead of private cars. The results revealed that many commuters could not depart at the desired time and had to make adjustments to their time of departure. This result indicates that a travel reservation system or a dynamic pricing system will be required before autonomous taxis become popular.

Price Coherence and Excessive Intermediation *

Abstract Suppose an intermediary provides a benefit to buyers when they purchase from sellers using the intermediary’s technology. We develop a model to show that the intermediary would want to restrict sellers from charging buyers more for transactions it intermediates. With this restriction an intermediary can profitably raise demand for its services by eliminating any extra price buyers face for purchasing through the intermediary. We show that this leads to inflated retail prices, excessive adoption of the intermediaries’ services, over-investment in benefits to buyers, and a reduction in consumer surplus and sometimes welfare. Competition among intermediaries intensifies these problems by increasing the magnitude of their effects and broadening the circumstances in which they arise. We discuss applications to payment card systems, travel reservation systems, rebate services, and various other intermediaries.

Development of Travel Reservation System for Mobile Platform

To overcome deficiencies in the mobile tourism applications such as underutilization of mobile device capabilities and poor user experience, a low-cost and cross-platform mobile travel reservation system was designed. Based on business process optimization of client-side, the mobile app was built by using HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery technology. Additionally, the system uses Ajax asynchronous interactive technology to improve response time. The practical application of this system shows that it can work equally well on multiple mobile platform. The characteristics of flat UI design, convenient operation and good user experience stretch its application prospects.

Price Coherence and Adverse Intermediation

Suppose an intermediary provides a benefit to buyers when they purchase from sellers using the intermediary's technology. We develop a model to show that the intermediary will want to restrict sellers from charging buyers more for transactions it intermediates. We show that this restriction can reduce consumer surplus and welfare, sometimes to such an extent that the existence of the intermediary can be harmful. Specifically, lower consumer surplus and welfare result from inflated retail prices, over-investment in providing benefits to buyers, and excessive adoption of the intermediaries' services. Competition among intermediaries intensifies these problems by increasing the magnitude of their effects and broadening the circumstances in which they arise. We show similar results arise when intermediaries provide matching benefits, namely recommendations of sellers to buy from. We discuss applications to travel reservation systems, payment card systems, marketplaces, rebate services, search engine advertising, and various types of brokers and agencies.

A design of policy-based composite web services QoS monitoring system

As the web service technology matures, research starts to focus on the composite web services that combine individual web services within an enterprise or between enterprises. Quality of service (QoS) is a critical competitiveness factor in this mature technology stage where there are many services with similar functionalities differing only in some non-functional properties. Monitoring is the key component for the service quality management of a web service. A service quality monitoring system design using a broker is presented in this paper. OWL-S is used to specify the composite service process and a service policy (inputs and outputs of each service, quality attributes and values, etc.) built by WS-policy is applied to the composite service process. If there is any discrepancy between the service policy and the monitored data, the service provider and the user are notified of it so as to take necessary measures. We have implemented a travel reservation system as an example of the presented design and the experimental results are shown. Average response time was monitored and the timeout policy was applied in the experiment.

A modelling approach to service-oriented architecture

In recent years, with the rapid development of web-based technologies, considerable progress has been witnessed in service-oriented enterprise information systems. Currently a critical issue is to specify service-oriented systems for application design. This paper highlights the description problem of service-oriented architecture (SOA) and puts forward a modelling approach as solution. Different from the current SOA specification methods, we do not exclude the traditional software architecture description techniques and present an architecture description language named SO-ADL. Based on the analysis of the requirements for SOA modelling, some similar concepts are introduced as first-class modelling constructs including that of service component and connector, and some composite notions are defined for the architectural re-use as well. Furthermore, a role-driven dynamic mechanism is specified to support dynamic structure description in SOA since it is typical of the highly dynamic nature. Within the context of a travel reservation system application scenario, we demonstrate the usage and practicability of our approach based on web services.

Conceptualizing Competences in E-Services Adoption and Assimilation in SMES

This article investigates the competences deemed necessary both at top managerial and individual levels for the successful adoption and assimilation of business-to-business e-services in small and medium size enterprises. To this end, an in-depth case study of a business-to-business e-service system, a Web-based travel reservation system, was conducted. The results show that three main competences, namely vision, value and control, are important at top management level for the primary adoption of e-services. For secondary adoption and assimilation, three categories of competences were identified as being important either to have or to develop at the individual level, namely technical, interpersonal and conceptual skills.

Providing Web Service Security in a Federated Environment

One of the Internet's biggest successes has been the automation of the travel-reservation system. Travelocity, Expedia, and Orbitz have all thrived in a fickle economic sector. The key to their success is Web services, which are exploding across government and industry. A business federation is very similar to a political federation, which is a union of self-governing states united by a central government. Each individual member maintains its individual sovereignty rights while participating as a federation member. Travel sites, therefore, are federations of companies that provide services, yet maintain a separate identity outside the group. Membership in a business federation, however, usually involves much less diplomacy and political discord than a political federation. Business federations must provide security for their day-to-day operations. A comprehensive Web services architecture that incorporates security standards enforces federation security policies and enables critical data exchanges. As such, we must explore ways to create an automated means for each organization to securely pass critical information using a service-oriented approach

Verification of Web Services with Timed Automata

In this paper we show how we can use formal methods for describing and analyzing the behavior of Web Services, and more specifically those including time restrictions. Then, our starting point are Web Services descriptions written in WSCI – WSCDL (XML-based description languages). These descriptions are then translated into timed automata, and then, we use a well known tool that supports this formalism (UPPAAL) to simulate and analyze the system behavior. As illustration we take a particular case study, a travel reservation system.
