Institution based transport system (IBTRS)

Background: The challenge of findings a shuttle and delay in entering a shuttle is being solved in this project. Aim: This project gives details on the creation of a system for order shuttle in Covenant University known as Covenant University Shuttle Management System. There has been a lot of stress in easing students, faculty, staff and other people who use shuttle services, majorly because of the unpleasantness of waiting on the queue and uncertainties for a shuttle arrival time. This has led to disorderliness in shuttle stance and could even be dangerous because people get to stand on the road where cars are passing in some extreme scenarios. A shuttle management system will be a step in the right direction to correct this unpleasantness in Covenant university and other tertiary institutions globally. This is because automation is the order of the day, and technological advancement has led to the rise in ease of accomplishing various tasks. The Shuttle management system focuses on easing students, faculty, staff, and other people who use the service, the stress of coming from long distances, and waiting in queue with uncertainties for a shuttle to arrive. This can be achieved by using a bot complemented by an RFID system and would be used both by students and people who are not students to order a shuttle ride, responded quickly by the admin and coordinated by an algorithm. The system should be in such a way that it can simulate human conversation, and it should be fast. The bot would simulate human conversation, and an RFID would make sure people enter the shuttle fast and confirm their payments. The challenge at bus stops because several students want to go to different locations, and for every shuttle that arrives, these people try to enter it. This has led to uncertainty of shuttle arrival, which has also led to rowdiness at the bus station. It makes such individual or group of individual unsure of the state the incoming shuttle is, and whether entering the incoming shuttle is possible due to the number of people already waiting with one. So, it gives such a person or group of people the impression that the chances of entering a shuttle ride during rush hour are dependent on how fast and smart one can be run after an incoming shuttle. Along the run, this can be dangerous because people are standing on the road where cars should be passing, and it is because everybody [both students and people who are not a student] wants to enter a shuttle. This also includes places outside covenant university, so long the shuttle is not restricted to carrying the client to such place; Furthermore, staff and faculty who need to go to the gate should be considered because the shuttle is meant for everyone, so long one has money to pay for the ride. Therefore, a solution is necessary to create a system that improves how the shuttle should attend to clients. The research questions that were asked to accomplish the goals of this research study includes: Methodology: It uses both a bot and an RFID system to ensure clients get a shuttle to pick them up. The bot is based on telegram, which is a rule-based bot and it uses an inline keyboard to guide a user through the steps in ordering a shuttle. The RFID is majorly for payment and this payment provides a way to quickly pay for the service being offered to one which is the shuttle ride. Result: Queue theory was used in the analysis of this project to view the current behavior of the existing shuttle method, and the proposed methods’ behavior and proves the efficiency of 96 %. Conclusion: To conclude, Covenant University Shuttle Management System is helpful in calling shuttle at times where there is uncertainty of availability of shuttle, and it ensure electronic payment using an RFID. It makes shuttle accessible to all student because they only need the RFID card to enter a shuttle hence it would be fast entering shuttle would be fast and shuttle would know where and where to go to.

My comprehension of the past expertise I have in programming, artificial intelligence, and computer networking will be solidified by completing imagine cup competition. Team IBTRS is focused on creating solution to transportation for institutions which includes churches, universities and banks. The project was inspired by observation on how we live using Covenant University in Nigeria as case study. People who wish to use a shuttle service get things done in an rowdy manner and sometimes these people never get to enter the shuttle due to challenge of people struggling to enter. Team IBTRS used queue theory to model the shuttle system in Covenant University and it was since that it was about 96% efficient. IBTRS hope to create a system of orderliness in entering a shuttle or a transportation system for institutions starting from Covenant University and scaling up to other institutions in Nigeria, in Africa and the world at large. For the previous three semesters of my academic career, I have attended two hours per week of leadership lessons, and a lot has been presented to me about what a leader should do in order to effectively coordinate and organize a group. I have improved my capacity to effectively communicate, think critically, handle pressure, lead others, be flexible in my approach to delegation, and work as diligently as I can to complete a project on schedule thanks to solid communication skills. I have acquired all of these talents over the years, starting in my secondary school years and continuing through my university years. I served as the class captain during my fourth year of study at Word of Faith Secondary School in 2014 and as a class captain, I learned what a leader should do, which is to strive to accommodate every request made by a classmate by doing what is right and within my capacity. By God's grace, I was also given the opportunity to serve as the chapel prefect at the same school during my sixth year, in 2015–2016, and I gained experience by not only motivating my classmates but also the entire student body of the school for activities linked to chapel as well as other events. I had the honor of serving in a leader position during at my service unit during my second year at Covenant University in 2018, and I was in charge of organizing the foundation for fortune program, which teaches individuals about Christ Jesus. In the years 2021–2022, I also served as an assistant word study cell leader. We were preparing to write a well-researched 23-page term paper regarding 5G communication when I was chosen to be the group's leader. This was accomplished by the about 10 people in my term who helped me read papers and summarize them so I could also contribute, which was the final editing. I was nominated by my mates to lead several different groups throughout my last year's first semester at Covenant University. This was a project that required participation from every student because each group member would present. One thing I took up from this assignment is that a successful group project requires everyone to be an active participant. In my final semester at the 500-level, I also served as the term paper chair. It was an honor to hear the group members' perspectives on the work we were doing, and by God's grace, we received a decent score. I served in organization like waste-to wealth, an organization which sell plastic bottles to organization and industries like “Eanactus” to create wealth. I'm now enrolled in an online course about blockchain technology that was launched on July 15, 2022, by the Africa Blockchain Center. I was able to manage a team of three people, myself included, and we developed some great ideas. This enhanced my leadership abilities and piqued my interest in studying React.js, my technical skills and soft skills.
