Portierung von Desktop-Anwendungen aus dem Verkehrsmanagement ins Web

Diploma Thesis at PTV AG (Karlsruhe), Duration: 4 month

Description

An increasing part of customers asks for web applications which have the same functionality as the desktop products of the PTV AG, department Traffic Management Systems.

The PTV TrafficManagementFramework is one of these desktop products. It is extendable for different tasks by adding plugins. The customers use it for example as a traffic message editor or as a scenario manager.

Another desktop application is called PTV TrafficCountManagement which allows for an analysis of a street's capacity. This is done by visualizing the data collected by detectors. The first challenge is to reuse the existing C# code of the desktop application. And the second challenge is to allow adding new features and bug fixes of the desktop application to the web application rapidly.

The web frameworks which are currently available, have to be evaluated in order to assess whether they meet the special requirements of the department Traffic Management. Furthermore, it has to be estimated how much effort will be needed to port the above-mentioned desktop products to the web.

This diploma thesis is subdivided into the following parts:

  1. Documentation of the requirements of customers and developers
  2. Evaluation of the frameworks: Microsoft Silverlight, Adobe Flex/AIR, Sun JavaFX, Google Web Toolkit, OpenLaszlo, eXpressApp Framework, Microsoft ClickOnce, Citrix
  3. Prototype development with one framework
