Development of a web-based transport management system of a company

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.
