ABSTRACT
This project is
aimed at improving the processing system on Passenger record management system
information. It is also aimed at keeping records of all passengers and for
processing travel requirements with the view of modifying it into a fully
computerized system. The study covers the areas of ticket order, record
verification, list generation, code numbering and maintenance of the managed
information. The new system developed is very easy to use, and gives answers to
report generation. Problems which evolved from the existing system as a result
of inefficiency will be notified and new system design implemented. With
references to the rapid growth in the information technology, it is deemed
necessary to develop a fully computerized system for the Passenger record
management system through this project. The new system was developed with PHP
and My SQL database.

INTRODUCTION
1.0.
Theoretical background
In recent years there has been a dramatic growth in passenger numbers on
scheduled and charter transport in all regions of the world. In spite of recent
events there is every indication that this strong growth in passenger traffic
will be sustained for the foreseeable future thus a computerised manifest
information system needs to be developed to carter for the ever increasing
numbers of passengers.
The passenger Manifest is an important part of the transportation chain,
containing a list of the passengers on a means of transport. Apart from this
commercial aspect, the passengers Manifest is also an important document for
road safety control purpose and effectively acts as the first notification to
the transporters of the arrival of passengers
or the final confirmation that passengers declared for travelling have
actually travelled. All manifest information are provided by passengers on
board in a paper format. This manual method poses a serious challenge, the
approach gives rise to additional costs for the transport company, limits the
possible use of the data by the road agencies and puts an additional
requirement on the transporters to subsequently ensure that all the passengers
listed on the manifest have been properly cleared and screened by the transport company.
It is believed that the introduction of the electronic manifest will be
of immense benefits to both the passengers and the transporters.
Transporters and other road Control Agencies (Immigration, Police,
Quarantine, Health and Safety, Agriculture, etc.) are therefore being faced
with a greatly increased workload. In normal conditions shouldering this
increased burden would not pose insurmountable problems. However two additional
factors have combined with the increase in passenger numbers to make the task
of the road Control Agencies very difficult indeed. These factors are the
increased compliance risk posed by the growth in, for example, trans-national
organized crime and the manpower situation within the Road Control Agencies
themselves. While the demands on the Road Control Agencies continue to grow and
the
manpower resources within which they must operate tighten, a number of
very valuable opportunities have arisen which, if taken advantage of, could
allow these Agencies to maintain or even enhance their effectiveness. The
deployment of such a system, incorporating passenger selection criteria
developed on the basis of high quality intelligence, can and do have a very
positive effect on enforcement activities. Information
Technology can be further harnessed to ensure that details of arriving
passengers are received in advance of the arrival of the bus, thus allowing the
road Control Agencies adequate time to determine their response.
Computerised information of a passenger’s biographic data is useful; the
added value of advance passenger information in its broadest context comes from
the ability to access carrier’s information for analysis and research on
arriving passengers.
1.1.
Statement of problem
The purpose of this research is to computerise the passengers manifest
information system, access the risk face by transporters, estimating their
performance based on series of assumption, with whatsoever the future
occurrence will be, to alleviates the poor practices and explore the good ones.
1.2.
Objective of the study
The objectives of
the proposed system are:
1. To develop passengers
manifest information in an electronic format.
2. To carry out more
effective risk analysis on incoming and outgoing passengers.
3. To allow for
flexibility in that it can be updated in a real time format.
4. To automatically
extract or query passengers information from the database.
1.3.
Significance of the study
This research work will be of an immense significance to organisation
embodied with the movement of passengers from one location to another in that,
it is aim at developing a model, an effective, reliable computerised method of
obtaining passengers manifest information, expected to help in cases of
emergency.
It intends to
advance the transport sector technology on how to computerise the manifest
process. This study will also help provide transporters the first hand
information on the how to reach passengers relative immediate once a case is
reported.
To other
professional bodies and students this research work will serve as a reference
material, people in related field, who might conduct research into related
field, will find this research work useful.
The recommendation
and some suggested solutions to the problems stated would enhance the
management of transportation sectors to review some aspect of the systems that
may affect them.
Organisation of
research
This research work
is organised into five chapters with each chapter having it own distinct
function; each chapter is sub divided into sections.
Chapter one deals
with the general frame work of the study giving insight into the main
motivation, statement of problem as relate to this study, the research
objectives, the study expectations, organisation of the study and definition of
terms.
Chapter two contains
the outline of the study and the literature review of some of the related
studies carried out on passenger manifest Nigeria and other countries. This
chapter intends to fully investigate what passengers are, effect of the
passenger manifest in the transportation industry. It also recommends ways of
improving manifest practices.
Chapter three mainly
focuses on the design of the study with the purpose of the study being
analysed.
Chapter four deals
mainly with the system implementation, it contains the system flowchart, analysis
of the modules and the choice of programming language.
Chapter five
provides the limitation of the study, the summary, recommendation and the
conclusion of the study.
1.4.
LIMITATION
The limitation of the findings of this study could be hinged on the area
covered, the instrument used, sample and sampling technique as well as time
frame. For instance, the instrument of the passenger manifest forms covered
only the State Capitals.
