Web Based Traffic Offence Reporting System for Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) Nigeria

Abstract

The motivation for this work is to reduce most of the problems incurred in federal road safety commission (FRSC) such as miss – sorting of files, documentation of traffic offences committed by road users, which may result when handling these files manually. This project is carried out to develop a web-based traffic offence reporting/documentation system that will be able to take care of all the processing of traffic offences and retrieval of information. Web-based traffic offence reporting system is concerned with the documentation of traffic offender’s information for road marshal in order to achieve the aims and objectives of the organization. This work was designed using MySQL, Apache, Javascript, PHP, and Dreamweaver, and it was lunched using a local host called xampp. The design was implemented to facilitate the web-based traffic offence system for documentation and reporting offences for administrative purpose. It will be less time wasting and cheap to run. The design is fully implemented there would be improved flow of information and retrieval by means of online or direct access enquiry system, which will improve customer’s relations due to fever computation errors, more timely speedier response to enquiry and tracking of traffic offenders. Finally, the result from this work include offence documentation, improve the commission performance in processing offences, quick and easy retrieval of information from the database.

Introduction

1.1 Background to the Study 
Traffic Offence report System is a web-based and database program that records all the traffic offences committed nationwide. The system helps the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) keep adequate records of all traffic offences that have been committed and that will still be committed by road users and also maintain the databases of the commission.
In February 1988, the Federal Government established the Federal Road Safety Commission through Decree No .45 of the 1988 as amended by Decree 35 of 1992 referred to in the statute books as the FRSC Act cap 141 laws of the Federation of Nigeria (LFN) passed by the National Assembly as Federal Road Safety Commission (establishment) Act 200.
Around the world, road traffic injuries are major public health challenges that require concerted efforts for effective and sustained prevention. An estimated 1.2 million people are killed in road crashes every year and many as 50 million have supper injuries. The world health organization (WHO) believe that these figures could increase by more than half over the next 20year unless there is a firm commitment to road safety and accident prevention, especially in Nigeria. It is a dead fact that many of these accidents and their consequences will have been avoidable.
Therefore this project, web base traffic offence report system will help to keep records of all traffic offences committed by road users and also maintain the databases of the commission (F R S C).

1.2 Statement of the Problem 
The present system of traffic offence system which is the manual system known as (Notice of Offence Sheet) has a lot of problems which are mentioned below:
a) Time: Going by the present system of operation, time is consumed in the manual handling of operation involved in road traffic documentation.
b) Cost: This is the greatest problem of the Federal Road Safety Commission. The commission tends to lose a lot of money running the agency manually.
c) Document Integrity: This is viewed in the contest of safety, in the validity of the records in document files used in report generation. In terms of safety, the nature of the system makes it vulnerable to theft, fire or accidental destruction. This makes the system unsafe as the time needed to replace lost data or files is enormously large.

1.3 Aim and Objective of the Study
This study is designed to help Federal Road Safety Commission to document all road traffic offences incurred by the road users. This study also tries to give an in-depth look in the easiest and most effective way for the growth and development of the Federal Road Safety Commission of Nigeria, in order to control and render its services to Nigerians and other countries.
The objective of the study is as follows:
1. To develop efficient software that provides the general public the means of obtaining information about traffic Offence.
2. To educate users on traffic sign thereby, eliminate or minimize accidents on the highways.
3. To produce a system where information and output report will be produced or made available much faster, more accurately.

1.4 Significance of the Study
With the growth in information technology, the study offers numerous values to the Federal Road Safety Commission and any organization that deals with offense documentation data/information. Huge files kept through the manual method in offices will no longer be there again because information will be stored on the computer with the help of the Web base Traffic Offence System. It will help to keep a comprehensive record of traffic offense documented.

1.5 Scope of the Study 
This study is strived at finding out how effective the Computerization of Nigerian Road Safety Commission will improve the operation of the commission. However, the research is limited to traffic offense section.

1.6 Limitations of the Study
Owing to the scope of this project as mentioned above, this project work is limited to computer literates. It is important to mention that time and cost was a major constraint in the course of fact-finding. It is also wise to mention here that some information needed to work with was not collected because of the unwillingness of the agency to reveal such information.

1.7 Definition of Terms
Information: This is the assembling of data into a meaningful form.
Data: This is a forerunner of information. It is an unprocessed fact.
Database: Is a collection of information that is related to a particular subject or purpose.
Internet: Is a collection of computer networks that operate to common standards and enable the computer and the program they run to communicate directly.
Software: This is a logically written program that hardware uses to perform its operation.
FRSC: Federal Road Safety Commission is the body responsible for the control of Road user in a country (Nigeria).
Computerization: Refers to the application of computer in performing operations.
System: Is the collection of hardware, software, data information procedures and people
