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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
