Project Abstract

Abstract
The design and implementation of a computerized traffic offence system represent a critical step towards enhancing traffic management and law enforcement. This research project focuses on developing a comprehensive system that can effectively monitor, record, and manage traffic violations. The system will utilize technologies such as computer vision, machine learning, and database management to streamline the process of capturing and processing traffic offences. The primary objectives of this project include improving the accuracy and efficiency of identifying traffic violations, reducing human error in recording offences, and facilitating the enforcement of traffic laws. By incorporating computer vision technology, the system will be able to automatically detect various types of traffic violations, such as speeding, running red lights, and illegal parking. Machine learning algorithms will enable the system to continuously improve its detection capabilities based on feedback and data analysis. Furthermore, the computerized traffic offence system will provide law enforcement authorities with real-time access to a centralized database containing detailed information about traffic violations. This database will store relevant data, including images or videos of the offences, location and time stamp, vehicle registration details, and any additional notes or comments. By centralizing this information, the system will enable authorities to efficiently track and follow up on reported offences. In addition to enhancing enforcement capabilities, the computerized traffic offence system will also offer benefits to the general public. Through the implementation of a user-friendly interface, individuals will be able to report traffic violations easily using their mobile devices or computers. This feature will encourage community involvement in upholding traffic laws and contribute to improving overall road safety. Overall, the successful design and implementation of a computerized traffic offence system have the potential to revolutionize the way traffic violations are monitored and managed. By leveraging advanced technologies and data-driven approaches, the system aims to enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement, promote compliance with traffic regulations, and ultimately contribute to safer and more efficient road networks.

Project Overview

INTRODUCTION

Computerised Traffic Offence System is a powerful web based and database program that records all the traffic offences committed nationwide. The system helps the Federal Road Safety Commission keep adequate records of all traffic offences that has been committed and that will still be committed by road users and also maintain the databases of the commission (FRSC).

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Prior to the establishment of Federal Road Safety Commission in 1988, there was no concrete and sustained policy action to address the carnage on Nigerian roads. Earlier attempts in this direction were limited to discrete and isolated attempts by some states of the Federation and individuals.The unpleasant trend in the nation’s road traffic system which resulted in upsurage in road traffic accidents made the Federal Government initiate a search for a credible and effective response to the challenge. In February 1988, the Federal Government established the Federal Road Safety Commission through Decree No .45 of the 1988 as amended by Decree 35 of 1992 refered to in the statue books as the FRSC Act cap 141 laws of the Federation of Nigeria (LFN). Passed by the National Assembly as Federal Road Safety Commission (establishment) Act 200. Around the world road traffic injuries are a major public health challenges that requires concerted efforts for effective and sustained prevention.An estimated 1.2million people are killed in road crashes every year and as many as 50million suffer injuries. The world health organisation believes that these figures could increase by more than half over the next 20years unless there is a firm commitment to road safety and accident prevention, especially in Nigeria, most adults will know of someone who has been killed or injured in a road

traffic accident. It is a dead fact that many of these accidents and their consequences would have been avoided. Therefore the Computerised Traffic Offence System will help to keep records of all traffic offences committed by road users and also maintain the databases of the commission (FRSC).

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The present system of traffic offence system which is the manual system known as (Notice of Offence Sheet) has alot of problems
