Accident Information Management System With I-Report Facilities

ABSTRACT

This is an accident information system with i-report facilities. Accident is necessary as accident rate has increased tremendously and lives and properties are destroyed every day in Nigeria by road accidents.

In other to reduce its , proper documentation of accident information is necessary. An accident information system enables researchers, government and insurance companies who are interested in data to collect data from the database for decision making.

The proposed system is a client server system that enables a person to sent an eye witness report to the server (at Federal Road Safety Corp Headquarters) on an accident using a mobile phone and facilitates quick response to accident scene by FRSC thus providing an approximately accurate accident data capturing.

Available Mobile Technologies and Object Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology were used in evaluating the system to help improve the current process.

The system was designed and implemented using PHP and HTML as front-end and Database Management System (DBMS) as back-end.

The system improved performance by facilitating quick response time to accident scene and providing real time data capturing.

 INTRODUCTION

Although transportation has liberated man and makes him more mobile, his increasing reliance on vehicular movement has conferred great facilities on him and his activities.

The greatest culprit of all the modes of transport is road of which traffic accident is the most disturbing repercussion of its use.

Road traffic accident is therefore an issue of great international concern as it seems to be the single greatest source of death and injuries all over the world.

Road traffic accidents occur when a vehicle collides with another vehicle, pedestrian, animal, road debris, or other stationary obstruction, such as a tree or utility pole [1].

Worldwide, road traffic accidents lead to death and disability as well as financial cost to both society and the individual involved.

Technical advances in the mobile device sector have resulted in just about everybody having mobile devices like phones, tablets or even laptops nowadays.

In the emotionally stressful situation of a traffic accident, a mobile device with the relevant special application can assist the user to make a report to the server at Federal Road Safety Corp (FRSC) headquarters as most people carry their mobiles with them at all times.
