ABSTRACT
The traditional approach to Vehicle licensing
in Nigeria has been a very manual method in Nigeria in the sense that the
payment and delivery is manual. Although this method is easy and
understandable, it poses problems on the long run because users are always
expected to travel long distances from wherever they live to the license
station in order to make payments and obtain Vehicle licenses, it is also
observed that record keeping is largely manual and subject to disorganization
and irreparable loss of data. Because of this, the design and implementation of
a Web-based Vehicle Licensing System aims to reduce the number of
time-consuming processes involved in obtaining Vehicle licenses, provide secure
and cost effective methods of storing and maintaining user data and improve the
working experience of both staff and Vehicle users. The methodology used in
this project is Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology, the
programming languages used in the design of this project are HTML (Hyper-text
Markup Language), PHP (Hyper-text Preprocessor), CSS (Cascading Style Sheet)
and SQL (Structured Query Language).

Background
of 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. 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 the country. However, computerization has helped in many areas of life and
due to the great number of 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 programming languages that can be used to
develop such programs, PASCAL, JAVA (Just Another Vague Acronym), VISUAL BASIC,
and C++ (
C Object-Oriented Programming Language) etc. But the researcher will be making use of PHP, Database (MySQL) they are both working with Apache server (XAMPP).

The
World is experiencing an information knowledge revolution that is fundamentally
transforming the way in which human activities are carried out. Governments
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 problems that are 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 vehicle registration
where a reflective sheeting which is more visible to read even in the dark.
This new system of motor vehicle 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 behaviour of road users. Thus the role this study is going to play is
to computerize the motor vehicle and plate number registration thereby bringing
about more efficiency, effectiveness and improved competence.
Motor
licensing office Abuja only focuses on vehicle registration and inspection, and
not on other supporting services such as vehicle tracking, learner’s driving
permission, and drivers’ license management, monitoring of drivers and vehicles
operations and documentation of both accident and crime report.
Vehicle
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.
Vehicle
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.
1.1 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 vehicle 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 the researchers’ 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 Labour:
This involves the use of strength and Brain and the body. The officer in-charge
goes through mental labour because he has to sort the records of the entire
vehicle in his domain of jurisdiction. He suffers from Manual labour 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.
1.2 Objectives
As
we have seen from the statement of the problems, the things that stand as puzzle
in the manual system of motor vehicle registration aim at introducing a better
system which is the computerized system which will contribute in providing
solution to the problems.
i.
Reducing 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.
Developing 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.
It 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.
1.3 Significance of the Project
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.
