Chapter 2. Literature Review

2.1. Make My Trip


Title: Make My Trip

Founder: Deep Kalra

Established: 2000

Summary: MakeMyTrip is India's leading online travel platform, offering a vast


array of travel services including flights, hotels, holiday packages, and more. While
they excel in providing a comprehensive booking experience, they currently lack
an AI-powered itinerary planning feature. This is where TripScript stands out,
offering intelligent itinerary suggestions based on your preferences, saving you time
and effort in planning your perfect trip.

2.2. Weather Forecast


Title: The consumer and the weather forecast

Author: W. J. Maunder

Publication Year: 2018

Summary: This research paper studies how people use weather forecasts. People
rely on weather forecasts to reschedule activities, and they are willing to pay for
accurate forecasts. The public is more interested in precipitation than wind speed.
However, forecast accuracy is perceived to be low, and many people don't actively
seek out weather forecasts. The study concludes that weather forecasters need to
better understand user needs and tailor forecasts accordingly.

2.3. AI in Tourism
Title: Tourism Route Planning Based on Artificial Intelligence Technology

Author: Maobin Ding

Publication Year: 2021

Summary: This article discusses the application of AI wireless sensor technology


in tourism. AI can be used to collect data on tourists' preferences and tailor

5
21IT406, 21IT419, 21IT417, 21IT463 TripScript

experiences accordingly. It can also be used to improve efficiency for scenic spots
by using facial recognition for ticketing. However, there are challenges such as job
displacement and environmental damage from increased reliance on technology.
The article also proposes a multi-target travel route design model that considers
factors like cost and tourist experience.

2.4. Traveller’s Experience


Title: Assessing the Importance and Relationships of Ratings on User-Generated
Traveler Reviews

Author: Betsy Bender Stringham

Publication Year: 2010

Summary: This study investigates the importance of user-generated ratings on


travel websites like Expedia. Analysing over 60,000 reviews, the research finds a
strong connection between ratings for specific aspects (cleanliness, service) and
overall satisfaction. Travelers also tend to recommend places with higher ratings.
Interestingly, hotel service and comfort seem to be most influential on overall
perception, followed by cleanliness and condition. These findings highlight the
value of ratings for travellers seeking the best places to stay.

3.5. Project SRS:


3.5.1 Use Case Diagram:
Use case diagrams are a common way to communicate the major functions of a software
system. A use case diagram at its simplest is a representation of a user's interaction with
the system that shows the relationship between the user and the different use cases in
which the user is involved. A use case diagram can identify the different types of users of
a system and the different use cases and will often be accompanied by other types of
diagrams as well.

Use cases are nothing but the system functionalities written in an organized manner. Now
another thing which is relevant to the use cases are the actors. Actors can be defined as
something that interacts with the system.

So, in brief, the purposes of use case diagrams can be as follows:


• Used to gather requirements of a system.
• Used to get an outside view of a system.
• Identify external and internal factors influencing the system.
• Show the interacting among the requirements are actors.
Symbols used in Use Case diagram:

3.5.2 Activity Diagram:


An activity denotes a particular action taken in the logical flow of control. This could
simply be invocation of a mathematical function, alter an object's properties and so on.
An activity is represented with a rounded rectangle, as shown in figure. A label inside the
rectangle identifies the corresponding activity.

There are two special types of activity nodes: initial and final. They are represented with a
filled circle, and a filled in circle with a border respectively. Initial node represents the
starting point of a flow in an activity diagram. There could be multiple initial nodes,
which mean that invoking that activity diagram would initiate multiple flows. A final
node represents the end point of all activities. Like an initial node, there could be multiple
final nodes. Any transition reaching a final node would stop all activities. A flow is
represented with a directed arrow. A decision node, represented with a diamond, is a
point where a single flow enters and two or more flows leave. This is represented with a
diamond shape, with two or more flows entering, and a single flow leaving out. Fork is a
point where parallel activities begin. A join is depicted with a black bar, with multiple
input flows, but a single output flow. Physically it represents the synchronization of all
concurrent activities.

3.5.3 Data Flow Diagram:


DFD provides the functional overview of a system. The graphical representation easily
overcomes any gap between ’user and system analyst’ and ‘analyst and system designer’ in
understanding a system. Starting from an overview of the system it explores detailed design
of a system through a hierarchy. DFD shows the external entities from which data flows into
the process and also the other flows of data within a system. It also includes the
transformations of data flow by the process and the data stores to read or write a data.

3.5.4 E-R Diagram:

An Entity Relationship (ER) Diagram is a type of flowchart that illustrates how “entities”
such as people, objects or concepts relate to each other within a system. ER Diagrams are
most often used to design or debug relational databases in the fields of software
engineering, business information systems, education, and research. Also known as ERDs
or ER Models, they use a defined set of symbols such as rectangles, diamonds, ovals and
connecting lines to depict the interconnectedness of entities, relationships, and their
attributes. They mirror grammatical structure, with entities as nouns and relationships as
verbs.

ER Diagrams are composed of entities, relationships, and attributes. They also depict
cardinality, which defines relationships in terms of numbers
