DESIGN AND
IMPLEMENTATION 0F AN ONLINE VEHICLE AND PLATE NUMBER REGISTRATION AND
IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM IN NIGERIA
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Vehicle Registration in Nigeria began over 100 years ago and
the records have been essentially manual which in turn has not help to raise
the efficiency of general automotive services in recent years. Today, computer
has been discovered as a very efficient instrument, which has played a very
significant role in adequate management of information. Besides, it has played
more roles in country. However, computerization has helped in many areas of
life and due to vehicle owners, the thought of computerization of this
operation becomes of great important in order to wipe out the manual data
processing system from which many problem have originated. The problems, which
have engulfed the objectives of motor vehicles registration, are extensively
discussed in this project together with the new method that was innovated. This
work is conducted towards the computerization of the various problems in
processing data in order to identify the various problems that are been
encountered in the registration of vehicles manually.
This theory also compares the existing system with the new
system, which is exact, and a faster way of processing data and the problem
faced by customers when they are registering their vehicles. There are
different programs that can be written to develop such programs, PASCAL, JAVA.
VISUAL BASIC, and C++ etc. But I will be making use of PHP, Database (MySQL)
they are both working with Apache server (Xamp). The Software design used
Macromedia Dreamweaver, firework, flash, and switchmax.
The World is experiencing an information knowledge revolution
that is fundamentally transforming the way in which human activities are
carried out. Government’s worldwide are adopting e -government as a means of
improving their services to businesses and citizens, promoting economic and
social development, and enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of
government operations.
Computer plays vital role in the development of any company
it also saves some of its complex problem that is been faced by man and
processes voluminous data within a short period of time or at an incredible
speed. Recent emphasis on information and data processing in most of our
business has grown adversely as in the case of motor vehicle license and plate
registration.
In as much as motor vehicle registration has been in existent
for ages now, the old system of registration has been in adoption which did not
play a significant role on highway safety until the development of the new
system of vehicles registration where a reflective sheeting which is more
visible to read even in the dark.
This new system of motor vehicles and plate number
registration, which is the main focus of this project, came into existent on
the 19th March 1997 and handled by the motor licensing officer. It was
introduced to enforce strict compliance to traffic rules and regulation as well
as providing a proper data as to the behavior of road users. The roles, which
the introduction of computer system will play in this function, will about more
efficiency, effectiveness and improve competence.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Vehicle Registration in Nigeria began over 100 years ago and
the records have been essentially manual which in turn has not help to raise
the efficiency of general automotive services in recent years. Motor licensing
office Abuja only focuses on vehicle registration and inspection, and not on
other supporting services such as vehicles tracking, learner’s driving
permission, and drivers’ license management, monitoring of drivers and vehicles
operations and documentation of both accident and crime report.
Vehicles registration in the city, state, and district
offices burdened applicants by requiring them to personally deliver the
certified copy of resident’s registration and other documents.
Vehicles Registration used to involve manual recording of
vehicle’s information which ranges from cars to buses and later to trucks and
heavy duty equipment on ledgers and tracking other related information such as
registration, road worthiness test certificates, change of ownership, engine
and chassis numbers; and expiration of road license. This process has been
extremely inefficient and the recovery of the information was not possible once
ledgers were damaged or lost as it frequently occurs.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
These are the problems that are being encountered in the
manual system of assigning a plate number to newly acquired vehicle in the
department of vehicles licensing and registration, (Licensing office Abuja).
The limited factors listed below have slowed realization of the good intention:
(i) Participation of Unauthorized Officers: Unauthorized
offices according to my observation are involved in this work especially in the
registration of illegal vehicles which can encourage fraud.
(ii) Wrong Charging of Fees: The officer in-charge is bound
to charge a wrong bill to vehicle owners, which may be as a result of
underassessment or over assessment of vehicles. This could be with motive to
commit fraud or as a result of mistake on the part of the officer at work.
(iii) Wrong Sales Allocation: Staff under a particular state
motor vehicle licensing office indulges in registering of vehicles that does
not belong to their state.
(iv) Improper Accounting: There is the tendency of the
cashier involved in the handling of income generated to make mistake during
this process, thus having some measures of inaccuracy in the work.
(v) There is difficulty at times in tracing a
record/information cautioning a vehicle owner due to improper information
keeping as a result of carelessness or volume in the size of record kept.
(vi) Mental/Manual Labor: This involves the use of strength
and Brain and the body. The officer in-charge goes through mental labor because
he has to sort the records of the entire vehicle in his domain of jurisdiction.
He suffers from Manual labor because he has to write all the way.
(vii) Excess Time Consumption: There is excessive time
consumption because the motor licensing officer has to write and enter the
information of the vehicle after the person whose vehicle is to be registered
has paid a prescribed amount of money to the licensing authority accompanied
with duly completed application, depending on the type of vehicle, write
personal information about the person whose vehicle is to be registered and the
category of vehicle whether commercial, privates, special purpose and so on,
then your plate number and vehicle license is prepared after a given period of
time. When put together, the time spent on all of these is much.
1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
As we have seen from the statement of the problems, the
things that stand’s as puzzle in the manual system of motor vehicle
registration aims at introducing a better system which is the computerized
system which will contribute in providing solution to the problems.
i. To reduce the amount of time spent in registration of
motor vehicle and information for all the vehicle owners.
ii. To ensure a very high level of accuracy during
registration of certain vehicle or category of vehicles that are prone to
errors in the manual system.
iii. To develop a system that will allow for the generation
and assignment of an infinite identification mark or number (that is, the
vehicle plate number).
iv. To replace the manual system of registration with a
computerized system that will make registration simple and easy for
registration officer and vehicle owner.
v. To provide restriction of illegal access of this program
will be limited therefore password will be created for the application
software. This password will just be limited to the officer in charge of the
work.
vi. This also aims at giving an up-to-date report of the
revenue generates from vehicle registration within a defined period.
1.4 SCOPE OF STUDY
The application of this study is a must for any country that
wants to be Information and Communication Technology inclined and ready to
reduce the vehicle crime rate and corruption in her system. The scope of this
study should be for Liaison Offices and organizations like (Motor licensing
office Abuja) that issue vehicle licenses and other vehicle registration
documents.
1.5 LIMITATONS OF THE STUDY
In as much as I have so many areas where one could have
covered for a wider generalization of result. Some factors have posed as an
obstacle to this, and some of these constraints are as follows:
i. Finance: This contributed in my project research since
there was much money exhausted in moving to and fro to gather facts for this
work.
ii. Time: As students where probably involved in schoolwork
like writing of assignment quizzes and other engagement, thus there isn’t
enough time to attend classes.
1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Due to the constant rise in technology, it is necessary to
use computer to Process voluminous data within a short period of time or at an
incredible speed. This project is to help provide efficiency, effectiveness and
improve competence issuance of vehicle license, plate number and other related
activities. The importance of this study includes:
i. To expedite the efficiency of principal licensing officer
in the processing of vehicle registration documents.
ii. To develop a method that will allow easy storage and
retrieval of vehicle and owner’s registration information at any time in the
future.
iii. To develop a highly accurate method of generating and
assigning plate numbers and how to interpret them.
iv. To determine the easiest and fastest way to access
vehicle owner’s registration information and missing vehicles.
v. To enable security agencies find missing vehicles.
vi. To develop an easy method for generating and assigning
plate numbers or identification mark.
1.7 ASSUMPTION OF THE STUDY
One of the major assumptions made in this study work is that
manual methods of keeping records are ineffective, time wasting, prone to error
and unsecured. It is also assumed that computerized base systems will motivate
the staff members to work more effectively and efficiently when registering
vehicles and other activities. I also believe that the facts and observation
gotten from the office are all reliable for the study to be a very successful
one.
1.8 DEFINITION OF TERMS/VARIABLES
The following are some of the terminologies used in the
project work.
Vehicle Plate Number: This is a metallic or plastic plate
attached to a motor vehicle for official identification purposes. The number is
made up of alphanumeric characters or numbers.
