Chapter 6, Problem 2E

a. AOA network diagram:

Explanation of Solution

Draw an Activity on Arrow (AOA) network diagram representing the project given in Table 6.2 of the book. To accomplish the network diagram, follow the following steps:-

1. Put the node numbers 1 to 9 in circles.

2. Find all of the activities that start at node 1. Draw arrows between node 1 and those finish nodes. Put the activity letter and duration estimate on the associated arrow. In this case, Draw an edge from node 1 to 2 and label it as A=2. Label A=2 means activity A has a duration of 2 days.

3. Continue drawing the project network diagram until all activities are included on the diagrams that have dependencies.

4. Label each arrow with the activity letter and estimated time. The below network diagram has 11 arrows corresponding to 11 rows in the table.

  • Draw second edge from node 2 to 3 and label it as B=2...

b. All paths on the network diagram:

Explanation of Solution

To identify all the paths on the network diagram, just follow the arrows to identify distinct routes from node 1 to node 9.

To find out length of each path, just add the duration for all activities on that path.

...
Path NoRouteLength / Total Duration

• Solve the problem (pls refer to the inserted image)
Write .php file that saves car booking and displays feedback.  There are 2 buttons, which are <Book it> <Select a date>. <Select a date> button gets an input from the user, start date and an end date. Book it button can be pressed only if the start date and ending date are chosen by the user. If successful, it books cars for specific dates, with bookings saved. Booking should be in the .json file which contains all the bookings, and have the following information: Start Date. End Date. User Email. Car ID. If the car is already booked for the selected period, a failure message should be displayed, along with a button to return to the homepage. In the booking.json file, if the Car ID and start date and end date matches, it fails Use AJAX: Save bookings and display feedback without page refresh, using a custom modal (not alert).
