AN INTEGRATED TAXI MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM MODEL FOR KAMPALA TAXI OWNERS AND DRIVERS ASSOCIATION

Abstract

The researcher conducted the study to develop an integrated taxi management information system model for Kampala taxi owners and drivers association (KATODA). The main objective of this research was to design a model of an integrated taxi management information system model for Kampala taxi owners and drivers association. To fulfill that objective, the researcher carried out requirements gathering and analysis to obtain the functional and nonfunctional requirements for the system. An interview method was used with the help of interview guides to gather data from the respondents and content analysis was used to analyze the qualitative data and requirements needed for the designing of the model where noted. The researcher designed the model using UML modeling tool (Microsoft Visio) and MySQL an open source Relational Database Management System. The integrated management information system model shows how the operators in the Kampala taxi owners and drivers association register taxis and taxi drivers for each vehicle. The operators also manage income and expenditure within the association.
