Chapter I

INTRODUCTION

Maritime Transportation has been a way of sea transportation to enable people to

travel islands in huge quantities at a time. A particular vehicle that offers this service is

the “ferry”, which is used to convey passengers across the sea and has been a common

ship in the Philippines.

The main government body responsible for preparing and establishing seaports in

the country is the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA). Established in 1974, the PPA Charter

was amended by Executive Order 857, widening its responsibilities to include the

incorporation and coordination of ports nationally Iglesias, (2020).

Maritime transport refers to the carriage by sea of goods or/and passengers and is

primarily used for commercial purposes, in exchange for fees, such as hire or own

account, as part of the larger economic account of the organization.

Transportation refers to the volume of bulk sorts and the variant of roll-on-roll-off

(Ro-Ro) of the ship handling the passengers via the terminal. Port of Alabat is recognized

to be amongst the most important trade sites on the island and is one of the longest ports

in the province of Quezon. Sometimes, the passengers encounter problems in boarding

the “ferry”. Upon taking the service of the transportation, there are occurrences when it

comes to; schedule of departure and the assurance of passenger. This can cause

inconsistency of the flow of ease in terms of transportation for the public.

 2

Background of Study

For most ferry units, boarding of passengers, packages, and vehicles has been

difficult as the workplace can be incoherent with the way the data types are brought in.

This can be reliant on the staff in the workplace who do not efficiently accommodate the

data. The staff of the ship can cause mishaps such as exceeding passenger capacity due to

uncertainty or misinformation provided by them, this is also given to packages and

vehicles that are boarded on to the ferry. With this in mind, chances of delay in departing

are setback due to the alteration of the ferry’s system. It can be hectic when travelers are

boarding the ferry because of the unsystematic queueing of the passengers.

According to Zameer (2019). Ferry ticketing being unsystematic makes it

difficult to book or reserve tickets on the port. The tickets that the passenger receive are

used to confirm validity to board the ferry, however, if this was lost the passenger will

not be able to board as this piece of paper serves as a verification to board on the ship.

Roros and/or Ferries of Alabat, Island have difficulty in approximating the passenger’s

slots of certain holidays as the passenger capacity can surpass due to the need of being

home for the holidays.

Roro and ferries on Alabat Island are more popular during March, April, May,

November, and December due to the holidays and occasions held during the said month

such as Christmas, holy week, and undas. During these months the Mobile Application

will become even more important and useful because of the large number of people who

are preoccupied with slots. The Ferry now travels only once with a total of approximately

one hundred (100) passengers formerly three travel with a total of three hundred fifty
 3

(350) passengers per day. While Roro in the Alabat district still travels three (3) times a

day.

The ticket price today for the ferry is one hundred fifty (150) pesos which were

previously one hundred (100) pesos at its regular price. Passengers who do not use the

FerryGo mobile application can queue at ports through walk-in reservation just like a few

senior citizens who do not have mobile devices to use the mobile application or are not

comfortable using the said application. The development of a mobile-based application

for the “ferry” can improve the quality of transportation services for the passengers that

are travel by sea. Travelers are expected to use the application for their means of sea

transportation instead of direct booking in the port for minimal inquiry.

The primary aim of designing this software is to accommodate convenient access to

vehicles, packages, and travelers. The ideology of the researchers pointed out an

application that serves ease of transportation called “Uber”. The application is mobile-

based, meaning it is available on most smartphones out there, whether the operating

system is iOS or Android. It can be downloaded in the systems application store and is

free to download. To solve the

aforementioned problems, the researchers proposed a research study entitled “FerryGo:

Mobile Application for Maritime Transport Booking in Alabat Island”.

Designing a simple layout with the concept of most common transportation

applications will give the proposed application a user-friendly approach for travelers.

Modernization of ferry transportation is necessary for our society in the Philippines, the

researchers tend to meet this necessity with the proposed application.

one of the useful ways of transportation in Alabat Island.

The study will be useful for the following:

To the local travelers, this study helped the local travelers to come up with a new

way of the booking process in a faster and easier way.

To Ferry owners, this study helped to speed up the work of the ferry operators. It

will open up a new idea for workers and put the process in the ports in a more modern

way.

To the academe, this study would be an opportunity to extend the services of

Southern Luzon State University or (SLSU) to Alabat, Island in serving people in the

community.

To the researchers, this study helped think of a solution to such problems, bring

out their skills, and have the opportunity to explore their field which is Computer

programming. This study can also be used as a reference for their enhancements.

To future researchers, this study served as their reference and used it to further

help local areas that need improvements in their location.

 6

Scope and Limitations

The study involved technical modes and schemes, and advice from the computer

programming experts. The materials needed in the study are the following: (1) Desktop

computer / Laptop for the platform of the mobile application; (2) Smartphone - To run a

series of experiential tests of the proposed application. The proposed application will

focus only on online transactions.

Updating of payments of the passenger booked the trip through the system. The

study involved training in Computer Programming methods, features some technical

techniques in programming the Mobile Application. It cannot systematically validate

passenger’s payment through outlets. Manual payment verification of the passenger.

In the proposed application, the researchers were guarantee the safety measures

for the application and its database system. However, the study is limited only to

Maritime transport, specifically to the ships and ports in Alabat Island. The mobile

application is not applicable to book on any land vehicle and/or ships that are not

prescribed to travel.

The application could not function without an internet connection and it is

applicable only for the Android operating system version 8.0 and/or higher. Nevertheless,

the study was focused on developing an application that will help to improve the ticketing

process at ports.

The study was conducted during the Academic Year 2020-2021.

HTML or an XML-based markup language. The language is used to describe a

presentation of a webpage including the schematic colors, layout and fonts. This

language can adapt the presentation of the webpage in different devices. This

language will be one of the frontend coding language in the proposed mobile

application by the researchers.

Ferry is a type of sea transport used to get to the nearby town between the seas (Quezon

to Gumaca; Alabat to Atimonan; Perez to Atimonan). In this study, the ferry was

used as the main topic to develop an application for access to schedules and online

booking.
 8

FerryGo is a mobile application for maritime transport that will help the user to book a

reservation online. In this study, FerryGo will be the name of the proposed mobile

application.

Function Suitability is a parameter for a system in which the developed software and/or

Chapter II

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

This chapter shows the related literature, development software, and materials that

are important in the development of “FerryGo: Mobile Application for Maritime

Transport Booking in Alabat Island”. This also presents the conceptual framework to

understand the progression of the proposed study.

The following is detailed in the literature that addresses the phenomenal

innovation of FerryGo: Mobile Application for Maritime Transport Booking in Alabat

Island. This includes MySQL, HTML, PHP, Adobe Photoshop, Android Studio, Laravel,

Bootstrap, CSS, JavaScript, and Smartphone to be the essential instruments for

development.

Maritime Transportation

The Philippines is one of the countries with the most ports in the world because it

is made up of huge islands. Some of the well-known ports in the country are Calapan,

Batangas, Cebu, and Manila because they have large and many vessels in the country that

are used to carry goods and passengers to the destination. Ro-Ro is a type of vessel used

to cross to the other port. It is loaded with goods, cars, trucks by pulling between the side

and the dock. The use of Ro-Ro ships allows for faster and safe transportation.

Another of the most targeted is people using to get to nearby towns for faster sea

transportation. Alabat Island consists of three districts, Alabat, Quezon, and Perez or

better known as AlQueRez. RoRos are already known to be used in three districts but
 12

only the Alabat District has Ro-Ro that can carry large vehicles such as trucks and cars

which is the reason why many people pass through the Alabat Port to Atimonan Port.

Due to the threat of Covid-19, the Philippine Ports Authority has implemented a plan

which aims to prevent people from becoming infected with the disease. Avoid the

Human-to human transaction where they set up ticketing machines in the port of

Batangas and port of Calapan which will serve as a way to speed up the process at the

ports and terminals Philippine Ports Authority Port Statistics (2007).

In the study of RoRo Terminal System (RRTS), The DSDA has tasked MARINA

to foster industrial competition as well as help to rural development by assuring the

availability of maritime connectivity. E-MARINA is a web-based service that MARINA

will provide where shippers and shipping operators may communicate information on

services given and services required over the internet.

MARINA intends to establish a MARINA Training Center to boost capacity

building among marine transport workers. The Center's concept is to provide a variety of

training programs with minimal facility installation. DSDP has recommended many

training programs in this regard, including ship management, shipyard business

management, and shipping business management. The study shall cover the 36 corridors

including the Polilio Island Corridor and the Alabat Island Corridor in Southern Quezon.

The above research has a similar feature to FerryGo and also has a difference, but

the difference is that FerryGo is a Mobile application for booking that targets the ports on

Alabat Island, and the Philippine Ports Authority did is a machine that target is the large

ports throughout the Philippines.

Figure one (1) Android Studio is an official Integrated Development Environment

or (IDE). It offers convenient tools for efficiently designing applications that are based on

the mobile’s operating system called android.

This development platform is written in Java, Kotlin, and C++, three programming

languages. It's made by Google and driven by IntelliJ. This is open-source and free-to-use

development software. This is a fast and feature-rich emulator, where the proposed

application can be applied to all Android devices to use Biswas, (2020).

This software were the environment of program coding for the proposed

application to be developed as a mobile application. The application is planned to be used

by researchers, it has many features that will help to develop the logo of the proposed

mobile application, and it is easier to use Adobe Photoshop for image editing than any

other open-source application. Photoshop will be used to create the layout and layers of

the user interface in the proposed mobile application.

Figure two (2) is a front-end framework that is a free and open-source CSS

framework that contains CSS, HTML, and JavaScript-based design templates for

interface components such as navigation, buttons, and typography Berezhnoi (2019).

This front-end framework was used for the web output structure for the admin

control and the mobile application in the proposed study.

JavaScript

Java is a programming language that is high leveled and it is a multi-paradigm

language. Java is used to develop fully stacked applications that are web or mobile-based

and real-time networking applications.

Java has an API or application programming interface for working with, dates,

text, standard data frameworks, and regex or regular expression. Based on the studies of

Chapman (2018). The researchers were used this high-leveled programming language to

develop the proposed mobile application's important needs.

Figure four (4) SQL is a common language used to store, manipulate, and retrieve

the data in the databases and MySQL is a database management system that is also

known as Structured Query Language. The basic purpose for SQL/MySQL is to create a

database in which it can be used to store any sort of information from it being a single

piece of data to an entire inventory full of items Drake (2020).

MySQL has been coded in C and C++ programming language and is compatible

with most operating systems or platforms out there, including Windows, Macintosh/Mac

OS X, and Linux. MySQL is open-source development software for retrieving, adding,

editing the data in a database management system. It is free to use to any sort of user who

can create the desired application that has a database management system.

SQL is a form of communication for the data in the database management system

meaning, it functions the optional choices in what the user can do to a piece of data in the

system. MySQL/SQL serve as the mobile applications database system whereby gathered

information is stored online and will be accessible in real-time when accessing the

internet on the smartphone device.

The study below presents the ISO 25010 evaluation parameters to fully understand

the research study.

Evaluation Parameters

The evaluation parameters of ISO 25010 determine the quality characteristics of a

developed system. There are a set of parameters that are required to be followed for a

standard system according to the International Standardization for Organization or (ISO)

Rebeś (2019).
 17

Compatibility

Compatibility is a degree of configuration when one or two models are functional

to your targeted system whether it is hardware and/or software. A system will efficiently

run when components in a system can exchange the data in that environment if it does not

occur any errors when the models begin to co-exist.

According to Rebeś (2019), models are to be developed independently so that the

probability of the system's functionality is sufficient and is suitable for installation in

most platform devices such as mobile devices. The system or product is to be compatible

amongst different platforms when accessing is the aim or proposition when it is being

evaluated for compatibility. The smooth interaction of the application means that the

system is applicable to run because the coexistence of the models in the system is

integrated and the accessibility of the platform is runnable in various platforms.

The researchers expect the system to be compatible with the mobile application.

Following the standard compatibility protocols in which the encounter of errors and

incompatibility are unlikely.

Functional Suitability

Functional Suitability represents the degree to which the system or product

executes the proper functions intended for its specific operation as an application. When

provided a task or objective, it must show suitable results that are corresponding to the

application's main purpose of use.

Estdale and Georgiadou (2018) define function suitability to consists of three sub-

characteristics that follow completeness, correctness, and appropriateness. These

 18

components are to assure that to a certain degree the functions are running properly and

are significant to the application’s purpose. The application's functionality meets the

general interaction and purpose of the created software Rebeś (2019).

The researchers are to follow the standards to validate the needs of the system for

the proposed application to run in its circumstances when it is fully developed.

Maintainability

Maintainability represents a degree of a system is developed to be effective and

efficient to be modified by the creators. Modifications are to be made to correct faults and

improve the performance of the application and its environment. Maintaining an error

and/or bug-free system is needed for further development in the system especially when

implementing fixes, improvement and, new features to the application. The possibility of

modification and improvement for the application in further enhancement is mandated to

keep a consistent system running properly Rebes (2019).

When a system is highly maintainable, the ease of improving quality in areas of

the environment in the system is there for modification such as bugs like security,

performance, functionality, and the other characteristics that are defined by the ISO

25010. Estdale and Georgiadou (2018). The researchers will be following the defined

characteristics for the proposed application to keep a consistent and maintainable

application for further modifications in the system.

 19

Performance Efficiency

Performance efficiency is before the usage of resources or types in a system or

product when the system is performing the tasks during load. The data that is loading to

the resources that are required to run the system at the maximum capacity. Response time

and the process is analyzed throughout the execution of the system when the program is

running.

The application is speculated throughout its progress to assure the quality of the

system and it is bearing components for the user to assure of the utmost efficiency of the

program for its user to interact with efficiently and load testing or speculating the

application after its post-boot is necessary to adjust the capacity and further modifications

of the system. The term would be stress testing it on the maximum load capacity of the

application, further conducted tests are a necessity when ideally testing the application's

success and failure when/or during its run time Maayan (2017).

Performance Efficiency influenced customer satisfaction, workforce profitability,

application versatility, reaction-time degradation, and wasteful utilization of processing

or storage resources. The Performance Efficiency of an application lies in the component

‘s performance of each individual, and as in the effect of every component on the

behavior of the chain of components comprising a transaction in which it participates

(it.cisq.org, 2016).

This defined evaluation for the proposed application will be definite to use as the

system will require proper procedures of conducted tests for its performance and quality

assurance for the proposed application users.

 20

Portability

Portability is the degree of efficiency which refers to the ability of the application

to use it on any end-devices in a faster and easier way. Nowadays, Mobile Application

has been a tool today to get and collect related information about travel and tourism

Estdale and Georgiadou (2018). It becomes more effective for all travelers to use a

mobile application that provides portable access to any hardware or software system.

Mobile devices and software, in terms of portability, location awareness, and

usability, give the user considerable advantages. Desharnais and Abran (2012). It

describes that all mobile applications must-have features and functionality that

individuals can satisfy on the portability with which the device is easily linked to any

hardware or software system, another thing is that applicants must provide satisfaction to

all end-users.

With this in mind, researchers think that an application's portability is essential

and will ensure that the FerryGo Mobile Application has certain features that serve its

purpose for long-lasting functionality.

Reliability

Reliability is the extent of software that demonstrates the ability to perform the

role assigned based on the program that is supposed to be performed over a particular

period. Reliability refers to the ability to be 100% percent correct and not fail the function

of an application by a system or program.

In an application, reliability is extremely important, the application should assess

availability, should operate even if there are a few device bugs and there should be
 21

recoverability if there are faults to prevent long interruptions Desharnais and Abran

(2012).

The researcher believes that reliability in an application is very important and it

promotes satisfaction to the users. With this concept, the researcher ensured that the

proposed application had the above ideas and provided an application that retains its

reliability.

Security

Security is being aware of safety and protection against malicious attacks and

threats on the internet and/or other social media sites that collect data and information

from users. With an ever-growing array of malicious resources, many cyber-attacks are

being carried out today Desharnais and Abran (2012).

There are many ways out now to protect user profiles and maintain data and secure

the sustainability of privacy is one of the crucial security standards for outsourcing

databases. The framework will preserve the privacy of access patterns of databases with

protected storage storing thousands of user data. Desharnais and Abran (2012).

To protect the data privacy and security of users, the researchers will follow the

rules and regulations applicable to the production of mobile applications that include

information from users. The researcher will create a SQL database in which the

information of all users is stored there. The perspective of developing a mobile

application that could serve the purpose of data protection.

 22

Usability

Usability refers to the system or program that is interacted with by users to reach

the desired usage technicalities. Usability is a degree in which how accommodating is it

for the user to learn the system or to control and operate the application for its intended

use without fault.

Usability is used to identify the software’s quality and how seamless it is for users

to interact with the system. Having the right standards and best practices for the program

will further enhance the usability in users making less of an error and/or the effectiveness

to grasp the goal of learning the system. Regarding usability, it helps develop the

application's broad environment for effectiveness and efficiency that the services should

uphold Juristo et al., (2007).

The system or product will be optimized to its proper functionalities so that the

users can experience a cooperative system that serves its purpose under specified

conditions Gaul and Karwowski (2019). With this specified parameter, the researchers

shall use this characteristic to optimize the usability of the system in its stages of

development to ensure a satisfactory application that will result in seamless software with

no errors and/or invalidity.

With the use of the mentioned cited studies that were gathered by various authors

for “FerryGO: A Mobile Application for Maritime Transportation Booking in Alabat,

Island”. The programming languages will be used to encode the software independently

and will be developed as a mobile application for the operating system that is Android.

The users that will use this service of transportation for ferries can rely on the ease of

payment and availability.

 23

The application was created with optimal settings using the parameters mentioned.

The mobile application met the intended needs for it to be a functional and suitable

application for its purpose.

Chapter III

METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the research methods of the study. This includes the

research locale, respondents, research design, research instrument, data gathering

procedure, work plan, system development, project technical description, operation and

testing procedure, evaluation criteria, and statistical treatment of data.

Research Locale

This study was conducted at Southern Luzon State University - Lucena Campus.

Southern Luzon State University – Lucena Campus is a collegiate university located at

Lucena City, Brgy Ibabang Dupay in the province of Quezon. The satellite campus offers

mostly technology-based education and is recognized as a premier higher education

institution in Quezon Province.

Travelers of Alabat Island always use the Ferry to the nearby town as a way of sea

transportation. Thus, the researchers conducted the study to provide the travelers another

mode of booking reservation using the mobile application in a faster and easier way, and

the system will be of great help for all people entering and leaving the island.

Respondents

Researchers targeted respondents who will evaluate the standards of the proposed

mobile application in terms of usability and functionality, this will be important to

improve the proposed mobile application from the respondents' given feedback.
 27

The respondents were composed of fifteen (15) travelers from Alabat Island who

always use ferries, and ten (10) Technology Experts to test the total technicalities of the

mobile application. A total of twenty-five (25) respondents will evaluate the effectiveness

of the application.

Research Design

As it is the best suited for the study, the researchers used a developmental

research design. Developmental research is an instructional development that follows a

systematic study of designing, developing, and evaluating programs, processes, and

products Richey (2005). A program will be analyzed and described for users to

understand what is the intent of the researchers to implement in the design.

Developmental research is an important instructional development in the field of

technology.

The research design focused on the development of the mobile application for

booking maritime transport booking in Alabat Island.

Research Instrument

The researchers obtained the necessary information throughout the evaluation

with the use of a questionnaire. This questionnaire is divided into eight (8) parameters,

such as compatibility, functional suitability, maintainability, performance efficiency,

portability, reliability, and security. Using the Four Point Likert Scale, four (4) are to be

considered as the highest and one (1) is the lowest.

 28

The above-mentioned uses are to prepare and conceptualize the purpose of the

study. A questionnaire that requires a rating of each parameter, was given to each of the

respondents to assess and determine the acceptability of the proposed application. The

researchers was used the standard questionnaire and was influenced by the ISO 25010

Standards to gain feedback on the proposed application. It was analyzed by the research

adviser and validated by the members of the panel of examiners. The four scales to be

used are, highly acceptable, acceptable, unacceptable, and highly unacceptable.

Data Gathering Procedures

The researchers submitted an approval letter to the Campus Director that will

come with the note of the Researcher Advisers to enable further data collection. The

researchers enacted to gather the necessary data by distributing evaluation sheets of the

proposed mobile application by selected respondents. Analysis and calculations will be

used to interpret the received data from the respondents.

Sources such as online articles, journals, and related studies were utilized by the

researchers. The main source of the process was the researchers obtaining information

from a ferry company and its faculty. The sources helped the researchers to make their

mobile application efficient and reliable to the users. Reliability, accessibility, and

functionality of the application are some of the various parameters of the application that

were given thought by the researchers.

This data provided the researchers to develop software that gives ease of access for

payment of travel in maritime transportation and its availability with the implementations

of online transaction, notification alert system that brings it to today’s level of
