THE METHODOLOGIES IN VEHICLE REGISTRATION AND TRACKING SYSTEM IN NIGERIA, A TECHNOLOGICAL APPROACH

Abstract

This research explores a technological approach to vehicle registration and
tracking in Nigeria, focusing on Jalingo, Taraba State. Traditional vehicle
registration processes in Nigeria are often time-consuming, prone to errors, and
vulnerable to fraud. This paper proposes a real-time smart vehicle registration
and tracking system integrating smart technology with GPS and GSM
communication modules to enhance security, streamline registration, and enable
efficient tracking of vehicles. The system aims to address challenges such as
manual data entry errors, document forgery, lack of real-time tracking, and poor
network connectivity seen in current models. A phased development
methodology was adopted, involving requirements analysis, system
development, testing, deployment, and evaluation. The proposed system
promises improved vehicle management, faster registration processes, and
enhanced law enforcement capabilities through real-time vehicle tracking and
data accessibility.
