Abstract
With a daily increase in the use of mobile devices in the 21st century, handheld devices are fast reaching the unreached and information is now easily disseminated. Nigeria, as a developing nation in the western Africa needs to be all information technology compliant. Far from this, vehicles have been registered manually. This mobile information system is designed to aid the every member of the Nigeria community in building an information network with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC). Motorists, drivers and others who had registered their vehicles manually would be able to register their vehicles number plates and report accident victims to the Corps with ease from their mobile devices. This work focuses mainly on the vehicle registration, issuing number plates and information dissemination to the Federal Road Safety Corps, Nigeria.
Description
Issuing the number plates initially had been developed manually. In this work, it has been improved and developed to be used on android devices. Registration of vehicles by drivers and road users are also included. The implementation of this work is a major landmark in bringing the Federal Road Safety Corps to the doorsteps of every Nigerian. As hundreds of vehicles are acquired in the country day-by-
day; proper data storage is needed so as to avoid errors of duplication, elimination and substitution. Manual registration is fading away in many organizations; also mobile devices are saliently replacing laptops. The implementation of this system will be a major pathway into a better information retrieval for FRSC and easy number plate acquiring for vehicle owners without additional cost. There is still much to do with the Corps. These other areas would require a separate system of application to be integrated into this work. But this work has established a shift from the manual registration to the e-registration; bridging the communication with the corps and getting a database for all vehicles plying Nigeria roads.
