General Introduction
1.1 Context
Today, computer science is employed in every domain, its scope magnified by its ability
to facilitate communication across the world. In this context, our team engaged in an internship
with Trust Insurance Society, which, faced with an overwhelming number of distress calls from
customers experiencing various car-related issues, has partnered with a call center to manage
these inquiries.
1.2 Problematic
Inefficient customer support during car emergencies presents significant challenges for
both insurance providers and clients alike. The inability to promptly address emergencies not
only impacts customer satisfaction but also affects the reputation and operational efficiency of
insurance companies.
The high volume of emergency calls coupled with delayed assistance exacerbates frustration
and dissatisfaction among customers. Long wait times and a lack of timely responses can cause
increased stress and anxiety in drivers in distress. In addition, prolonged response times can
cause additional damage to vehicles or compromise the safety of occupants.
Traditional call centers, often inundated with calls during peak periods, further impede effec-
tive communication and coordination. Call queues, inadequate staffing, and limited resources
contribute to delays in dispatching assistance, exacerbating the challenges faced by both cus-
tomers and service providers. These inefficiencies underscore the urgent need for streamlined
assistance delivery in car-related emergencies.

6
• Enhancing overall user engagement and streamlining the assistance process.
Our project draws inspiration from these prior works while addressing specific challenges
faced by the Trust insurance society , which are Insurance Claims Management Applications
and Customer Feedback Systems
Several insurance companies have implemented mobile applications to improve claims management[1,
2]. For example, Allstate and GEICO offer apps that allow customers to report claims, upload
photos of damages, and track the status of their claims. However, GEICO have been criticized
for their complex interfaces, making it difficult for users to quickly access information.
Customer feedback systems[1], such as those developed by SurveyMonkey and Qualtrics, en-
able companies to gather and analyze customer opinions. However, these feedback systems
often suffer from low participation rates, as is the case with SurveyMonkey, which limits the
effectiveness of the collected data. Moreover, it can be challenging to turn customer feedback
into actionable insights without sophisticated analysis tools.

3.4.4 Regulations of passage in Logical Data Model
The relational model [14]is a conceptual framework for representing and manipulating data
in the form of tables (relations) consisting of rows and columns. It defines the relationships
between different entities and allows for efficient querying and manipulation of data.
2. Association management
b- 1-to-many associations involve adding the primary key of class “1” as a foreign key in class
“many”.
c- For many-to-many associations, an association table is created with a primary key composed
of the primary keys of both classes 1.
3. Inheritance management
a- A table for the superclass with foreign keys in the subclass tables, or separate tables for each
subclass, including the attributes of the superclass.
a- Tables: Each class in our diagram becomes a table with its attributes respective.
b- Relationships: Foreign keys are used to link tables together, reflecting the associations of
your class diagram.
