 Abstract
The web based accident information management system solves and minimizes so many problems on the organization. The system is
with the client/server architected configuration. This means that there is a central application database to store data. This system uses
SQL database engine to manage the data and it has the front end with the web programming language PHP. This system help for the
employee of Ambo Town police station to communicate and also access their data easily. In general the system enables the transactions
to be easier and faster.

The system activity flow seems the following. When an accident occurs in a society, the society informs the occurrence and other
reliable information about the accident for the field officer. Then, the field officer informs the dispatcher by sending message on the form
available on the website to detect the accident. After the dispatcher retrieves the detail information from the message sent by the field
officer, he/she allocates resource.

CHAPTER ONE
Introduction of Whole Project Process
1.1 Introduction

The development of one country is analyzed from many direction or factors such as peaceful, security of the people and their property
etc. Those are protected by accident management station such as police and society. The institution of accident management station is
standing to protect peoples and their property from danger. Our project aimed to develop new web based accident management system.
The proposed system applies to accident management institution all across the country and specially looks in the subject of accident
information management system of Ambo Town police station. It is well understood that accident prevention and detection of accident
depend on highly responsive back bone to information management system. The efficiency of the accident controlling and the
effectiveness with which it deals with accident depend on what quality of information it can drive or received from where the accident
is occur and how fast it can have response to it.

1.2 Literature Review and Related Work

In this part of the study, basic and important literatures are reviewed to provide background information and current state of AIMS’s in
Ambo town. A comprehensive collection of applicable works to support this research will also be compiled.

[ CITATION Fed22 \l 1033 ]The African countries remain to have the highest road traffic death rates. The situation of road traffic
accidents is most severe in sub-Saharan Africa, where the lives of millions are lost and a significant amount of property is
damaged. In Ethiopia, the condition has been crumbled as the number of vehicles has risen and accordingly because of
expanded traffic stream and experiences among vehicles and people on foot. Despite government efforts in road
development, road accidents remain to be one of the critical problems of the road transport sector in Ethiopia . Every year,
many lives are lost and much property is destroyed due to road traffic accidents in the country. The country has experienced
average annual road accidents of 8115 during 2000–2010.

[ CITATION daw19 \l 1033 ]In this part of the study, basic and important literatures are reviewed to provide background information and
current state of RTASE’s in Bole sub city. A comprehensive collection of applicable works to support this research will also be compiled.
“Road traffic injuries are major problem but neglected public health challenge that requires determined efforts for effective and
sustainable prevention. Of all the systems with which people have to deal every day, road traffic systems are the most complex and the
most dangerous. Worldwide, an estimated 1.2 million people are killed in road crashes each year and as many as 50 million are injured.
Projections indicate that these amounts will increase by about 65% over the next 20 years unless there is new commitment to
prevention. Nevertheless, the tragedy behind these amounts attracts less mass media attention than other, less frequent types of
tragedy. The World report on road traffic injury prevention is major report being jointly issued by the World Health Organization”
(WHO 2009).

This summary of the World report on road traffic injury prevention is primarily intended for people responsible for road safety policies
and programmers at the national level and those most closely in touch with road safety problems and needs at the local level. The
views expressed and the conclusions drawn are taken from the main report and on many studies to which that report refers”. (World
Health Organization, WHO 2009

1.3 Statement of the Problem

In Ambo Town police station accident information management apply manual way of implementing tasks. The police station has the following
problem –:

❖ Difficult of getting real information at real time when accident occurred that help to have real time response to accident.

❖ Difficult to manage the overall system.

❖ Accident file control mechanism is very tedious and complicated.

❖ Data redundancy and inconsistency

xi
 ❖ Difficult of communication of field office, society and the station to give and get real time response to the accident.

❖ Difficult to generate report

❖ The officer losing the right information about the accident.

❖ If someone, come from other place suddenly die in accident, and if the person has not id or something about himself to be recognized
with, The Only thing they can do is write report and store it.

❖ Difficult in conducting consistent reports because the record is documented manually and require much time and human power to
search and get wanted information (file).

❖ There is no fast and efficient way of sharing critical information across the station as well as with the external environment.

❖ The current system high work load for staff of police department.

1.4 Objective
1.4.1 General Objective

The general objective of this project is developing new web based accident management system for Debre Berhan city police
station.

xii
1.4.2 Specific Objective

 The specific objective of the accident management in Debre Berhan city police station include: -

 Investigating how the existing system is operation.

 Analyze the current system to design new data base system operated easily using web based system.

accident to give reliable to response on detecting the accident.

 The can use either Amharic or English language.

 Total number of each accident can be see easily.

 They can be prepared report easily

1.5.2 Limitation of the project

There are many constraints within our proposed system that limit their effectiveness of performance. Our system
is limited only in the process of web based accident management system of the Ambo Town police station, but
does not include about crime file management system, the system depends on electric power and network
connection. The above activities or subsystems are proposed system limitations because of the following reason

 Time Is the main factor of limitation our proposed systems that limit its performance because while we are
developing the system it takes more time and we may not get enough time to automate the system.

xiv
  Resource we have not laptop as an alternative when arbitrary failed the desktop and also when the power is off
for a long time.

1.6 Significance of the project

 The new web based accident management is system which is customized to the DebreBerhan city police station.

 The most important feature of the new system is that it is an accurate , easy and efficient system to detect accident as well
as record accidental information such as date and time when the accident occur, location and level of the accident.

 Also cause and effect of the accident of the accident carefully recorded and documented.

 Simple and user friendly.

 It is enable searching the required information by using keys and also the main function of the system is sharing of
information to the appropriate of different station.

station mission, vision, function and overall of their work in short and brief.

1.9 Analysis and Design Methodology

In this project, our team will going to use object oriented system development methodology (OOSD) for the design.

This techniques has several phase some of them are-:

 Object oriented analysis (OOA):- during this phase the team uses to models the function of the system (use case
modeling), finding and identify the business objects, organize the objective and identify the relationship between
them and finally model the behavior of the objects in detail.
xviii
  Object oriented design (OOD):-During this phase our team uses Microsoft software to refine the use case model
and rational rose for designing the sequence collaboration, activity diagrams and to model object interaction and
behavior that support the use case scenario
