Fuel consumption certification site

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Business view: NZTA wanted a system to help importers comply with a new requirement to provide fuel consumption data for the cars they imported. The success case for the project stipulated that there be zero complaints from importers at the new requirement. We successfully worked with NZTA to create a series of point-and-click steps that matched a car on the dock with records in the fuel consumption database. There were no complaints!

Technical view: Design and creation of a PHP-based lookup site to the SQL Server-based Fuel Consumption Database, connected via web services, containing rapid validation options to match the imported vehicle to known data.

Fuelsaver for MoT

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Business view: MoT, in conjuction with NZTA, required a site to help drivers understand how various factors – not least driving habits and the fuel efficiency of their vehicles contribute to their fuel costs.

Technical view: Design, usability testing, and creation of a PHP-based public website and ‘cost calculator’ application, retrieving data from the existing SQL Server Fuel Consumption Database via web services. Sourcing, cleaning and merging of data to support lookup and retrieval of information on new and used vehicles first registered in New Zealand after 2000.
