ABSTRACT

The research project was centred on developing the ZRP Real-Time geographic mapping System to address the issue of transit management in the organisation. With this understanding, the researcher concentrated on ways to improve transit management for ZRP staff to and from work. The system management to quickly view activities of their buses as well as ZRP staff to request bus locations and Estimated Times of arrival in real-time. To have a detailed understanding: interviews were conducted; questionnaires were distributed; observations were also held. After the logical design of entities, classes, menus, the system was developed using VB.Net, SQL server and Android Java. The developer further recommends that the users stick to the basics learnt during the training period for any challenges they should refer to the comprehensive user manual. Security measures were considered through use of user names and passwords thus restricting access to certain privileges to some users. To cater for changes in user requirements system maintenance will be provided when the need arise.
