Road Traffic Offence Information Management System

Abstract

This work is concerned with road traffic offence information management in Nigeria.
It focused on trends in road traffic offences information and carried out a critical review of current information and communication and technology compliance state of FRSC with a view to identifying its defects in road traffic offense information management.

A system to correct road traffic offence information management failure as identified in the existing system was then proposed.
Road traffic offence records and details of current safety measures obtained from FRSC and online in addition to research works, provided the  basic data for the study.
The system was designed using the object OOAD methodology and implemented using rapid Php IDE on a Windows 7 system, using PHP, HTML,CSS and mySQL technologies and Apache server as the application server.
The result showed the high rate of road traffic offence as a result of poor road traffic offence information management and failure to improve on the existing road traffic information management.

Introduction

Background Of Study
Nigeria ranked as the country with the second largest road network in Africa in 2011.
It population density which varies in rural and urban areas (approximately 51.1% and 48.3% respectively) translates to a population-road ratio of 860 persons per square kilometres showing intense traffic pressure on the available road network [1].
This pressure contributes to the high road traffic offence  mishap in the country. In Nigeria, road transport is the most commonly used by the majority of citizen, as the easiest option in moving goods and travellers.
Despite the important role played by  road transport, the  sector has encountered a number of challenges emanating from poor road traffic offences information management, resulting to incessant road accidents.
Road accidents, resulting from careless driving, over-speeding and other road traffic offences have  resulted to numerous consequences including deaths, injuries, disabilities and loss of properties, all of which accelerate to poverty in the country.
The death of the most productive member exerts a devastating impact to the families, pushing many into poverty with long lasting effect to their children and their community at large [2].
The poor road offence information management situation in Nigeria has reached such an alarming proportion even to the point of sheer frustration and near helplessness.
While many developing and developed countries have made concerted efforts to reduce road traffic offence through the adoption of improved management information technology, Nigeria seems to be lagging behind.
