Abstract:
The use of different types of vehicles in organizations has drastically increased over
the years. Consequently the management of these vehicles has become more
complicated than ever. The combined or stand alone use of spreadsheets and word
software have reduced the level of complexity in dealing with the transport system.
However, these traditional tools do not provide the interlinked information in precise
and usable way. So, there is a need for a development of complete transport
management software that will overcome the limitations of using discontinued
software and paper works. In this work, a complete web-based system has been
developed to keep records and track of vehicles in any organization. The developed
scheme keeps records of vehicles and their time to time maintenance. In addition,
the software provides fuel usage information, and also enables a complete
requisition system. Data related to tax, fitness and insurance of vehicles are also
maintained in the software. Moreover, different records regarding drivers,
workshops, pump-stations can also be viewed. As a result, the tracking of vehicles
becomes easier. The scope of irregularities in the usage of vehicles cost of
maintenance and fuel consumption reduces significantly.
Thousands of industries and offices have been established in Bangladesh in the last
decade. Unfortunately these organizations are still working with the traditional paper
based system to manage the transport section. They often decline to buy high cost
sofiware from abroad. This developed software is of low cost and can be easily
adopted by Bangladeshi offices. Therefore, this web-based system can playa vital
role in removing the ongoing difficulties and irregularities in the transport
management in Bangladesh.
