Abstract
 

The technology of the internet is utilized to design an intelligent Traffic Management System (TMS) in existing truck transit parks (referred to as Toll gate in this work). The system is designed to effectively control fuel lifting schedule as well as traffic threshold level of trucks and vehicles plying Apapa fuel lifting axis. The system is based on utilizing client-server technology. The system design involves client - server model of computing where client and server communicate over a network. The system has been validated by constructing a prototype application.
