1. Introduction
Plate can be issued or renewed. In other words once a vehicle passes inspection a
decal (i. e picture) is attached to the windshield and police can enforce the
inspection law by seeing whether the vehicle display an up-to date deal in the case
of a vehicle body or license plate. With regard to road there is some controversy
over
The challenges that the VIO faces during inspection operation are listed below:
4. VIO staff at Yola Adamawa state is too much of suffering as there are still
in manual procedure and it makes their work to take a time.
5. Un-online with the driver’s document are made a driver to run away in
the time of inspection operation or accident time.
The research work will be a benefit to vehicle inspection operation (VIO) some the
benefit is listed below:
3. To reduce crime
The purpose of the study is to enhance the new form of accessing data and to raise
the efficient of general automotive services in the nearest future.

1. To improve modern information system by computerizing vehicle
registration
Some limitation encountered in the cause of this study has listed below
which are:
1. Time frame there is limited time to carry out a detail research on this
project which made it impossible for the researchers to survey all the
materials necessary for the project.

LITERATURE REVIEW
2.0 Introduction
Before 1939, vehicle inspection was carried out by the directorate of Work,
while also the computerized operation of the licensing authority with issued a
present vehicle inspection system in Adamawa State Yola is ineffective inspection
in Adamawa State Motor Vehicle operation are regulated through a based on the
literature review of selected State in Nigeria a computerized motorcycle inspection
system.
Vehicle inspection on 23, Oct. 2014 using operating locations allows for the
tracking of equipment measurement point multiple meters, inspection routes,
blueprint, related document and failure analysis. Compliance issues of a vehicle
inspection and maintenance program job required knowledge of computerized
information database and software.

The trend of urbanization and city growth in developing countries are
characterized by rapidity urban increase, urbanization of outpacing
industrialization, and a high rate of urban population growth by natural increase
and migration. In Nigeria, urbanization has a fairly long history its growth and
development of the nation. Historically, account sure that extensive urban
development in Nigeria predates the British colonial administration. Early
explorers, missionaries and merchant estimation of population of town sure the
existence of substantial human settlement in this part of the world in 19 th century
During this period, the major factors crucial to the growth and development of
cities were trading, marketing and administration. The second half of the 20 th
century witnessed rapid rate of urbanization and emergence cities In various part
of Nigeria due to a number of factor among which are: introduction of wheeled
transportation, particularly railway and road; categorization of settlement into
hierarchical order of township; introduction of monetized economy and
consequently production of cash crop and exploitation of material resources;
continues geopolitical restructuring, through creation of state and local
government in 1967, 1976, 1987, 1991 and 1996 respectively; and industrialization
process between 1960 and 1975, which based on import substitution strategies
and consumer market for imported goods and services AgbolaT. (1989).

In many Nigerian cities, urban transport exhibit remarkable future. According
to Adeniji (1993) several studies have revealed these futures of Nigerian urban
transport. Futures of urban transport system in Nigeria cities are:
1. 95% of urban trips are by road. Out of this, about 70% of the urban trips
are made are made by public transport
5. Specifically poor condition road which in turn shorten life span of motor
vehicle and high cost maintenance.
Since Nigerian political independence in 1960 know that the country has
lowest level of motorization in West Africa in as low as 4 vehicles per 1000
inhabitants. To compound the problem further, the rate of vehicle growth is much
lower than the population growth rate. Resulting from this mismatch is a general
fall in the level of motorization in all part of the country. Since 1982 and up till
1989/ 1990 there was a substantial reduction in new vehicle registration in all of
the country

authority The purpose of vehicle registration is to establish the clear ownership
and to tax motorist or vehicle owners well almost all vehicles are uniquely identify
by a vehicle registration number, only registered vehicle display a vehicle
registration plate and carry a vehicle registration certificate. Adesanya, (1996)
Quality is a major factor for the vehicle inspection and registration data
collected. In Nigeria, vehicle inspection data such as vehicle licenses, car insurance,
driver’s licenses and other vehicle related document are usually collected by the
official of both the federal road safety commission (FRSC) and the state licenses
office for both the federal and state government respectively.
Sometimes the data forms are collected away from the scene. These data
collected often have problems including errors, incomplete information, illegibility
due to poor hand writing, and errors due to multiple data entries at various levels.
The data obtained might not of acceptable quality. Data quality can be defines
accuracy, precision, timeliness, and completeness of the data. The various
components of quality listed by Agbola (1997) are ascertainment (completeness of
data coverage), consistency of coverage, missing data, consistency of
interpretation, and the right data, appropriate level of detail, correct entry
procedure, and freedom from response error “Agbola E. O (1997)
Adeniji (1993) defines data quality “as a set of demission which includes accuracy,
precision completeness, coverage, timelines, and consistency. The most commonly
observed attribute of data quality are data accuracy, data completeness, data
consistency, and timeliness of the data.
8
1. Data Accuracy
Therefore the vehicle data collected and reported by the official may contain
errors and may not be of sufficient quality to meet the need of department of
motor vehicle inspection and transport division (MITD). The accuracy of data is
defines as the components of quality as the degree to which the vehicle data
report is correct, both in terms of what is to be includes on the report form and
what the collector report. Accuracy includes verification of reported facts and care
in making observations. In correct processes (manually entering the vehicle
registration by hand), entering vehicle information in a paper filed report usually
involved coding, writing or typing and drawing The vehicle inspection and
registration report filled by the official at the vehicle inspection center are sent to
the state liaison office, the data on the vehicles registration report are re-entered
record them in a state vehicle registration data base (SVRD). During this process,
vehicle registration data are subject to arbitrary change due to unreadable hand
writing or incorrect data entry. All errors in vehicle registration data especially
9
miscoding data some data element such as vehicle owners, owners address or
location, vehicle type, vehicle manufacturer or make, vehicle model, chassis and
engine number, vehicle plate number and so on can lead to either in appropriate
conclusion or in ability to use the data “.
The federal road safety commission report of (1998) also identifies the lack
of consistency as being a significant to vehicle inspection data related problem and
indicate that consistency problems typically occurs due to:
10
Agbola (1989) in this contribution says” data quality is the fitness of data for
all purpose that required it. Measuring data quality requires and understanding of
all intended purpose for data. There are various factors influencing data quality. He
summarizes it as; institutional officer related and external factors that affect data
quality. There are summarizing in the following subsections.
11
Every official of the vehicle registration agencies such as federal road safety
commission (FRSC), the liaison office and the motor vehicle inspection and
transport division has the different way of collecting the crash data. The practice,
usage and mindset of every officer are unique.
1. Poor job in reporting if officer feel that vehicle registration report are
collected primary for the ensuring agencies
4. Tendency to select and use only a few codes from pick lists although
more of them are available
Information is the life blood of any law of enforcement agency. The accurate
and rapid flow of information is essentially for effective law enforcement without
information; police work would come to a standstill. Without a fast and reliable
means of obtaining and communicating police information, manpower is wasted
and police operation is degraded. As the rate which vehicle crime increased from
1999 through 2007 (65% increase in major crime nationally) so has the amount of
12
information the police have to handle. Ti has reached such volume in most police
agencies that information no longer can manually manipulated with any degree of
accuracy and efficiency. Automation can assist law enforcement to be more
effective, particularly in relationship to two major problems areas:
1. Reducing crime
13
2.5 The need for technologies and commercial software for collecting vehicle
registration and inspection of data
Hence, the fully computerization have not been effected in other countries
shall we continue to wait for the criminals to get away from stolen our vehicle?
Shall we keep upending endless time waiting on queues in which have been
devolved to corrupt practice of official base on personalities? Shall we spend
endless time searching for owners of whose vehicle have been recovered when
software can be developed to tackle such problems like this? The punch newspaper

CHAPTER THREE
3.1 Introduction
This chapter with the careful analysis of the old system with the
understanding of the old system and the problems encountered in using it then
design a later method with the use of computer to eradicate the major problems
association with the system.
3.2 Methodology
This program will involve use of Visual Basic and Microsoft Access to design
the computerized vehicle inspection operation which also includes vehicle
registration.
1. Interview method
2. Secondary method
Interview method: Is conservation between two people (the interviewer and the
interviewee) where questions are asked by the interviewer to obtain information
16
from the interviewee. In the course of this project some staff of VIO were
interviewed
Secondary method: This is the data collected by someone than the user. Such data
are cheaper and more quickly obtainable than the primary data and also may be
available when primary data cannot obtain at all. The data used in this project was
collected from the Adamawa State VIO Office, Yola.
The main goal of this phase is to the requirement and specification from the
analysis phase into a functional system, this, the physical model is created from the
logical model.
1. Plash screen
3. Main menu
5. Vehicle registration
6. Incidence module
7. Incidence report
17
8. Tracker
Splash Form
The splash form is the first form that opens when a User opens the program.
It displays the title of the program, the version, the platform that it can work
with the licenses of the program.
Login Form
The login form is the form that appears immediately after the splash form. It
authenticate the user to be sure that an intruder cannot access the vital
information
In the system, this is a means of checkmating computer fraud and secures the
program from unauthorized users which can harm or temper the database of
the program.
An authorized user only needs to input a valid user name and password and this
logs him or her into the program
This is the main program interface that has the entire menu for users to use.
The menu includes:
1. Admin switch board: The switch board contains the form main modules
that make up the entire system. The user or administrator is expected to
choose a specific module to use.
18
2. Incidence module: This contains form that captured various incidences
that occurs with vehicle ranging from car theft to arson. The statistic will
be used by the federal Government to improved services.
3. Incidence report: This will report the incidence that occur in case of
evidence and other information required
5. Shutdown module: this is aspect of the system that terminates the entire
program.

CHAPTER FOUR
SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION
4.0 Introduction
In this chapter, the analysis and design of the system be translated into
source code. This includes implementing attribute and method of each-object and
integrating the entire object such that the function as a single system
The Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 was adapted as the programming language for
developing the software meant for this project. The program was selected because
of it scalability and flexibility. It also has security futures that support a robust
program. The program was used for designing the front-end while the Microsoft
access was used for designing the back-end database.
Once the entire module have been integrated to form entire system, the
system itself has to be tested, and see whether its meets the specification and
20
requirements. The two main strategies for testing are the top down and Bottom Up
approach. The former begins testing from the entire system to the micro detailed
of the system while the later does the testing in the opposite direction.
This phase involve putting the entire system into action. It also introduces
the operation on how to use the system the various duties. Also during
implementation, users are required to be present so that they can learn the
operation of the system.
The splash form is the first form that opens when a User opens the program.
It displays the title of the program, the version, the platform that it can work with
the licenses of the program.
21
4.4.2 Welcome screen:
Before logging in proper to the system, a welcoming screen often displays
the caption of the system as well as the names of the programmers that design the
system.
This switchboard contains the form main module that makes up the entire
system. The user/administrator is expected to choose a specific module to use.
22
4.4.2 Vehicle registration
This module captures detail for vehicle within the state. It contains detail like
plate number, car owners name and address. It makes it easy for the VIO officers to
locate specific vehicle information in case of incidence. Below is the screen short.
This contains form that captures various incidences that occur with
vehicle ranging from car theft to arson. The statistics will be used by the federal
government to improve services.
23
4.4.4 Incidences report
This modules display the number of incidences that occur over the
period of one year. The report can be printed.
4.4.5 Tracker
24
4.4.6 Shutdown module
This is the aspect the system that terminates the entire program.
25
2. Admin log-in: it is use by the administrator to logically determine that
the user has the permission to use the system
5. Incidences report: This will report the incidences that occur in case of
evidence and other information required
4.4.8 Codes
The sources code file for this software is displayed at the Appendix.

CHAPTER FIVE
5.0 Summary
5.2 Conclusion
Sequel to the research made throughout this work, I believe that the concept
of building a full blown application with server side capabilities and database is
made clear. Majority of the world’s commercial businesses are done on the
internet. Also web applications are really improving other activities such as news
dissemination, entertainment, education and research development.
Finally after all these, a fully working computerized vehicle inspection system
was actualized.
5.3 Recommendation
2. HTML and JavaScript were utilized in the production of this site. I recommend
that XHTML be used in the next upgrade in order to improve its functionalities and
flexibility.
