the entire world is facing now, each country having their
peculiar security issues. The crime rate in every part of
the society these days has become a threatening issue
such that vehicles are now used for committing criminal
activities more than before. The issue of vehicle theft has
increased tremendously, mostly at gunpoint or car parks.
In view of these, there is a need for adequate records of
stolen, identified and recovered vehicles which are not
readily available in our society and as such very
important. The development of a vehicle theft alert and
location identification system becomes more necessary
for vehicle owners to ensure theft prevention and a
speedy identification towards recovery efforts in
situations where a vehicle is missing, stolen or driven by
an unauthorized person. The theft alert function makes
use of a GSM application developed and installed in a
mobile phone device which is embedded in the vehicle to
communicate with the vehicle owner’s mobile phone.
The communication is established via SMS (i.e. between
the installed mobile phone device and that of the vehicle
owner). The communications established include; (i).
Sending an SMS alert from installed mobile phone device
to vehicle owner mobile phone when the car ignition is
put on. (ii). Sending an SMS from the vehicle owner’s
mobile phone to start and stop the installed mobile phone
device application. The location identification function
makes use of a web application developed to; (i).
Determine the real time location of a vehicle by means of
tracking using GPS. (ii). Broadcast missing or stolen
vehicle information to social media and security agency.
The implementation of the installed mobile phone device
application was done using JAVA because of its
capabilities in programming mobile applications while
PHP and MySQL was used for the web application
functions. Integration testing of the system was carried
out using simple percentage calculation for the
performance evaluation. Fifty seven (57) vehicle owners
were sampled and questionnaires were distributed to them
in order to ascertain the acceptability and workability of
the developed system. The result obtained shows the
effectiveness of the system and hence it can be used to
effectively monitor vehicle as it is been driven within or
outside its jurisdiction. More so, the system can be used
as database of missing, identified or recovered vehicles
by various security agencies.
Index Terms—Vehicle, Theft alert, Location
identification, Tracking, GPS.
Communication Technology which is shaping and
changing the world socially, educationally and
economically cannot be over emphasized. In view of that,
this paper looks at the factors militating against
successful implementation of computer studies in 9-year
Universal Basic Education (UBE) programmes. Five
UBE schools were randomly selected for the research.
Two research questions were postulated to guide the
conduct of the research and t-test analysis was used for
testing the hypotheses. The findings showed that there is
positive perception by the students on factors militating
against successful implementation of 9-year UBE
programme. Based on the findings, some
recommendations were made: provision of qualified
teachers, instructional materials, provision of laboratories
and so on in order to improve and ensure effective and
efficient implementation of the 9-year Universal Basic
(UBE) programme.
