INTRODUCTION
In this idyllic yet remote corner of the Philippines, residents heavily rely on
habal-habal motorcycles as their primary mode of transportation—a lifeline that
connects them to the essentials of modern life (Gomez, 2018). The habal-habal
phenomenon is a response to the unique geographical and sociocultural aspects of
the Philippines. These motorcycles, often modified to accommodate multiple
passengers and goods, navigate the narrow roads, winding pathways, and hilly
terrain, serving as a bridge between this secluded community and the world
beyond.
1. System Development:
a. To design and develop a user-friendly and intuitive Habal-Habal
Monitoring and Booking System tailored to the needs of Barangay
Ubaldo D. Laya residents, habal-habal operators, and local authorities.
b. To integrate real-time GPS tracking, emergency response mechanisms,
and user registration functionalities into the system for efficient
monitoring and safety assurance.
2. Accessibility Improvement:
a. To enhance the accessibility of habal-habal services for residents,
reducing waiting times and ensuring prompt transportation, particularly
during emergencies or urgent needs.
b. To provide a seamless digital booking platform that enables passengers
to specify destinations and preferred service times, optimizing the
utilization of habal-habal resources.
3. Safety Enhancement:
a. To address safety concerns associated with habal-habal services by
implementing safety features such as emergency buttons, real-time
tracking, and driver profiles.
b. To evaluate the impact of these safety measures on passengers'
perception of security and trust in the habal-habal system.
5. Stakeholder Perception:
a. To gauge the perceptions, expectations, concerns, and potential barriers
of both habal-habal operators and passengers regarding the
implementation of the Monitoring and Booking System.
b. To understand how these perceptions, influence the adoption and
integration of the system into daily operations and transportation
practices.
Timeframe
The research will be conducted over an estimated timeframe of 12 months,
which is divided into distinct phases:
3. Monitoring and Safety Features: The system will incorporate real-time GPS
tracking to monitor habal-habal rides, emergency buttons for passengers to
request assistance, and driver profiles for identification and background checks.
4. Mechanism: Users will have the means to report any issues or provide
feedback regarding habal-habal services through the system.
5. Regulatory Tools: The system will equip local authorities with the necessary
tools to effectively monitor and regulate habal-habal operations within the
Barangay.
Significance of the Study
The development and implementation of a Habal-Habal Monitoring and
Booking System in Barangay Ubaldo D. Laya hold significant implications for the
community. Passengers will be able to book habal-habal rides seamlessly through
the digital platform, specifying their destinations and preferred time of service. The
system will incorporate real-time GPS tracking to monitor habal-habal rides,
emergency buttons for passengers to request assistance, and driver profiles for
identification and background checks. Users will have the means to report any
issues or provide feedback regarding habal-habal services through the system.
The system will equip local authorities with the necessary tools to effectively
monitor and regulate habal-habal operations within the Barangay. This research
aims to address the pressing transportation challenges faced by the community,
ensuring greater safety, accessibility, and accountability for all stakeholders.
Theoretical Framework
The Habal-Habal Monitoring and Booking System in Barangay Ubaldo D.
Laya, Iligan City, Philippines, draws upon various concepts and theories from
different fields to provide a structured and comprehensive understanding of the
system's development, implementation, and impact (Davis, 1989).
Habal-Habal - is a Tagalog term that translates literally to "catch and catch," but in
practical terms, it refers to a specific type of motorcycle taxi commonly found in the
Philippines.
Plate number- It refers to a sign on the front and back of a vehicle that shows its
registration number.

Summary
METHODOLOGY
PROJECT DESIGN
The researchers have chosen the Waterfall Model for developing the habal-
habal monitoring and booking system. This widely used method follows a
structured, sequential approach. It divides the project into distinct phases, each
with specific deliverables. Each phase begins only after the previous one is
finished, ensuring a clear and ordered development process. This approach is well-
suited for projects with well-defined requirements and where changes are minimal.
The waterfall model, with its sequential phases, enforces a strict order in
software development. Each phase can be revisited and refined until it meets the
desired outcome, like a cycle of improvement. This structured approach, coupled
with the linear workflow, helps minimize rework and ensures each stage is
thoroughly addressed before moving forward. This makes it well-suited for the
habal-habal monitoring and booking system.

PARTICIPANT
The respondents for the study on the Habal-Habal Booking and Monitoring
System in for Barangay Ubaldo D. Laya, Iligan City 2023, will primarily encompass
various stakeholder’s integral to the habal-habal transportation network within the
barangay. These respondents will include habal-habal drivers, local residents who
frequently utilize such services. Structured questionnaires will be administered to
approximately 20 respondents, capturing their experiences, preferences, and
safety concerns related to habal-habal services.
RESEARCH LOCALE
Each response is assigned a value for the SUS score calculation. The points
breakdown for the responses are:
For each response, you can tabulate the overall SUS score by using the following
framework:
1. Add up the total score for all odd-numbered questions, then subtract 5 from the
total to get (X).
2. Add up the total score for all even-numbered questions, then subtract that total
from 25 to get (Y).
3. Add up the total score of the new values (X+Y) and multiply by 2.5.
