DESIGNS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPUTERIZED MOTOR VEHICLE NATIONAL PLATE NUMBER GENERATION SYSTEM. A CASE STUDY OF MOTOR LICENSING OFFICE, NKANU. A RESEARCH PROJECT MATERIAL ON CO-OPERATIVE ECONOMICS

ABSTRACT

In as much as information which need to be generated, stored and disseminated is time, relevant and power in every field of life its survival cannot be over emphasized in any case, the issue of computerization cannot be overlooked.

Recently, 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 role in government services and operation, more especially in addressing the function in all traffic matters in the country, such functions like motor vehicle registration/ motor vehicle national plate numbering.

However, computerization has helped in many areas of life and due to indispensability of motor vehicle national plate numbering in traffic matters as it concerns the government and vehicle owners the though of computerization of this operation becomes of great necessity in order to blank out the manual data processing system from which many problems have emanated

These problems which have engulfed the objective of motor vehicle national plate numbering are extensively discussed in this work together with the new method was innovated. This new method will be the use of computer application software on the computer machine to enhance the work and as well create changes in the working environment.

The roles that the introduction of computer system will play in this function in order to bring about more efficiency, effectiveness and improve competence are discussed in this work. This work is segmented into chapters which be seen ahead.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Motor vehicle national plate numbering which involves registration of vehicles as part of its process is the allocation of an identification mark to a vehicle by serially numbering of motor vehicles. As much as there is need for sanity to be maintained on roads, motor vehicle national plate numbering becomes of necessity in traffic matters for identification purpose.

In as much as motor vehicle national plate numbering has been in existence for ages now, the old system of numbering had been in adoption which did not play a significant role highway safety until the development of the new system of plate numbering where a reflective sheeting which is more visible to read even in the dark, special alphabetic codes are allocated to each vehicle which distinguishes the vehicle from any other vehicle throughout the whole federation, thereby creating some measure of uniqueness in such vehicle.

This new system of national plate numbering which is the central focus of this write up came into effect from 16^th January 1993 and handled by federal Road Safety Commission. It is introduced to enforce strict compliance to traffic rules and regulations as well as providing a proper data as to the behaviour of road users. In other words, this national plate numbering is designed to identify a particular vehicle to the rightful owner making the identification of such vehicle easy.

Motor vehicle national plate numbering is done by 2 government offices namely: Local government motor licensing offices for personal vehicles and cabinet office or any military established offices.

In personal vehicle, suffix codes, codes administered to vehicle plates owned by individuals help in identifying the local government where such vehicle was registered, also that particular code cannot tally with that of any others local government throughout to register up to two million vehicle before the code exhausts.
