AUTOMATED PASSENGER LOADING SYSTEM A CASE STUDY OF CHISCO TRANSPORTATION COMPANY OWERRI IMO STATE
ABSTRACT
This project is aimed at automating i.e. computerization of the system of loading
passengers using Chico Transportation Company as a case study. In our transportation Companies like chisco Transport Company, there is
every need to computerize (automate) the passengers loading system. The computerization system or process of
automating helps the transportation company in general to know the exact number of passengers that will be loading
into the various buses without making mistakes.
This project also has overriding objectives of identifying computer as an electronic device capable of facilitating
passengers loading procedure in different transportation companies, it is also directed towards a simple analytical
treatment using computer to store, update and retrieve records of passenger as compared to the manual use of files
and hands. Also computerization or automating of passenger loading system would aim at eliminating past mistake
done through the use of manual method, since a successful system design would go a long way in helping the transportation company in loading up the passengers. Based on the above existing system, there is need to introduce
an efficient, reliable and fast method which would aid in reducing the problems faced by passengers in the park. Among many advantages associated to these automatic systems are the following.
A) IMPROVE ACCURACY- The new system will produce accurate and exact output once input is fed into the
system. This will eliminate the problem of duplicating work.
B) IMPROVED DECISION MAKING- Owing to the fastness and good communication link up, there is also the
advantage of making quick decision and obtaining information on a more timely basis.
C) IMPROVED DOCUMENT MAINTENANCE- The new system is capable of storing and maintaining of a large volume of passengers files or document without occupying unnecessary space and any document or file could be accessed any time.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Transportation is a very important concept involved in human life to ensure comfort and to reduce the level of stress
in our daily lives. People today needs transportation to travel to their different destinations. In which these
transportation companies uses manual approach to run their transportation Business. These manual approaches or
loading system at the end tend to bring conflict and or even promote the level of conflict.
Hence due to these conflict and other problems an automated passenger loading system has to be introduced to
promote and encourage these transportation company, and also lessen the work done manually, since a computer is
been provided where each or any passenger that comes goes straight to it and enters the necessary information
needed. Such information like, the fare, the passengers name. Destination, address and phone number, sex and load
weight if available e.t.c.
The computer hence specifies the Bus number where the passenger goes straight to pay and sit at the sit specified
to him by the computer. The automated system is just aimed at replacing the manual approach with an automated i.e.
computerized method by developing software that will simply carry out these works.
