Abstract

Majority of road crashes in Nigeria arose as a result of poor understanding of road traffic signs and rules by drivers. One of the functions of the Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC) is to train traffic offenders in the process of preventing reoffending and improving road safety across the country. This is achieved by organizing public enlightenment program or driver's training workshop. The present research focuses on the development of a web based software to educate Igbo speakers' drivers and assess their understanding of road traffic signs. The system was designed using coloured Petri net (CPN) Tool 3.4.0 and implemented using Hyper Text Markup language (HTML), Hypertext preprocessor (PHP) and My SQL. Usability test was carried out on the system and result shows that users are more comfortable using the system as its contents seem to be more user-friendly. Also bilingual environment provided by our system can serve as language learning tool. The ongoing work is focused on making the system multimedia to enrich the learners' experience.
