 ABSTRACT
This research work is based on the development of a taxi booking and personnel management
system for National Union of Road Transport Workers. To achieve this, the application is
designed using the Java 2 Platform Enterprises Edition (J2EE) programming language,
MySQL database manager and JBOSS server application. This system is aimed at creating a
computer based method of managing personnel records as well as a safer and discrete
method of hiring a taxi. There is also a manager or administrator that would be responsible
for approving driver requests, assigning taxis to passengers, editing all possible routes and
viewing driver, passenger records.
 CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The term TAXI strikes in us a public transport thought oriented inclination.

Nonetheless, in transportation, a taxi is a type of vehicle for hire with a driver, used by a

single passenger or small group of passengers often for a non-shared ride. A taxicab

conveys passengers between locations of their choice. In modes of public transport, the

pickup and drop-off locations are determined by the service provider, not by the

passenger, although demand responsive transport and share responsive transport and

share taxis provide a hybrid/taxi mode. There are four distinct forms of taxicab, which

can be identified by slightly After payment you will get the full project or

form two associations, namely the Road Transport Employers Association of Nigeria

(R.T.E.A.N) and the National Union of Road Transport Workers (N.U.R.T.W). National

Union of Road Transport Workers (N.U.R.T.W) was established in Nigeria in 1978 under

decree 21 of the labour amendment under the then military leadership of General Olusegun

Obasanjo. It was and is still under the Nigeria Labour Congress (N.L.C). There were 43

unions as at 1976 under the Labour congress of which N.U.R.T.W was the 26 th Union in order
of importance. Decree 21 was then amended to decree 26 on the 16 th November 1996 which

led to the N.L.C reducing the number of unions to 29 with the N.U.R.T.W placed number 16.

The Unions present president is Najeem Usman Yasin from Zamfara State Council. The

hierarchy of administration from top to bottom is as follows;

no deputy auditor exists. The Makurdi branch has several units and these units are responsible

for the actual transportation of passengers. Self employed and petrol transports are not carried

out. only people and goods are transported and mode of transport is only by road

(Olubomehin, 2001).

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

N.U.R.T.W Makurdis current system of only commercial transport between local

governments and states, handwritten record keeping of workers, and road side booking of

passengers is inefficient. Multiple lists of multiple workers leads to waste of a lot of energy

when a record of a worker wants to be accessed, road side booking of passengers causes

occasional disputes between bookers, passengers and drivers disputes and the absence of taxi

transport service by the Union within Makurdi leads to loss of potential business and

subsequent profit expansion.

1.3 JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY

It is known that Online Ticket Booking System is very fast and user friendly. It is a

The introduction of Online Taxi Booking System processing is to make things easy because

of the time it will save and also the accuracy of its output.

1.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

The research is specifically anchored on the creation of a taxicab service and

personnel information management for the N.U.R.T.W which will lead to business expansion,

proper records keeping. This research is only limited to personnel of the union Units and will

not accommodate higher officials and is also limited to transport within the town. Therefore,

passengers travelling outside the town and non-drivers will not be accommodated.

iv. response to passengers by drivers.
v. To create an easy to use and free method of complaints.

1.6 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

Just as any researcher is bonded and restricted to encounter some limitation, this

research is faced with the following limitations:

i. The period used is limited for the executions of this project work and made the

research a little bit tedious, because materials were not available on time.
ii. Inadequate finance limited the information and timely completion of the work.
iii. Poor availability of internet service at certain periods also inhibited the

acquisition of necessary information for the execution of this project.

1.7 DEFINITIONS OF TERMS

The taxi booking system explains how taxi and vehicle booking works well in

customers end and company taxi maintaining end (Cecil, 1980). The following are some

concepts in taxi booking according to Gordon (2010):

Taxi Bookings: This involves reservation of a Cab for later pick up time by a client.

Generally, specifying the time the service would be required. Pick up could be real time or a

later time depending on the request made.

WAP (Wireless Application Protocol): this is a technical standard for accessing information

over a mobile wireless network. In other words, it allows Internet connections from mobile

phones.

CoJoMDS (Computerized job management and distribution system): The name of the

database used to work out the best possible answer for the relationship between the taxi

services cars and clients.

Dispatch: This is a procedure for assigning Vehicles to customers. With dispatching,

clients are matched to vehicles according to the order in which clients made requests and

the proximity of vehicles to each client pick up location.

Fare: The price charged to a passenger for use of a taxi or any other form of public transport.

Transportation: Transportation is the movement of people, animals and goods from one

location to another. Modes of transportation include air, rail, road, water, cable, pipeline and

space.

The field can be divided into infrastructure, vehicles, and operations. Transport is

important since it enables trade between people, which in turn establishes civilizations.
Transport infrastructure consists of the fixed installations necessary for transport and may be

roads, rail, waterways, canals and pipelines and terminals such as airports, railway stations,

bus stations, warehouses, trucking terminals. Vehicles travelling on these networks may

include automobiles, bicycles, buses, trucks, helicopters and aircrafts.

Operations deal with the way the vehicles are operated, and procedures set for this

purpose including financing, legalities and policies. In the transport industry, operations and

ownership of infrastructure can be either public or private depending on the country.
