There is a requirement for a Vehicle Data Management System
(VDMS) by the United States. The military currently has numerous tracked
and wheeled vehicles in its inventory, with technical data on their
operation and performance available in manuals and reports.
Alternatively, there are various vehicle performance computer models and
applications, which manipulate characteristics of these vehicles for
analytical purposes, but no standard data depot currently exists for
collection and storage of this information. This project has developed
a means of storing available information about these tracked and wheeled
vehicles in a relational database which will allow the user to easily
create, retrieve, update, and delete information via a user-interface
connected to the database.
The purpose of this project was to create a relational database
of vehicle information and a user interface for accessing the database.
The project allows for a user-friendly environment (Microsoft Excel and
Access) that is convenient and efficient for storing, retrieving,
updating and displaying vehicle information.
The overall objective of this project was to create an updateable,
computerized database application, the Vehicle Data Management System
(VDMS), which provides a composite reference/storage retrieval system
for current information pertinent to characteristics of standard
military tracked and wheeled vehicles. VDMS is intended to minimize the
individual need for periodic reference to technical manuals, reports,
and large vehicle files containing large amounts of data. Currently,
there exist much data in various places, (technical man ...
