1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Managing urban traffic requires
finding a balance between throughput, livability, safety and
sustainability. As cities are expected to grow in the coming decades
(leading to increased traffic demand), the challenge of managing traffic
will increase, as space to develop road networks is often limited or
non-existing. That urban traffic is characterized by a mix of different
modes of transport (pedestrians, bicycles, public transport, motorized
vehicles) makes the challenge even more complex. It is in view of the
above challenges that the researcher intend to investigate the
effectiveness of intelligent transport system in curbing the menace of
traffic congestion and pollutions in our city.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The
main objective of this study is to ascertain the effectiveness of
intelligent transport system in curbing the menace of traffic congestion
and traffic jam. But to aid the completion of the study, the researcher
intends to achieve the following specific objective:
i)
To ascertain the effect of intelligent transport system in effective
functioning of the transport system in Nigeria.
ii) To
investigate if there is any significant relationship between intelligent
transport system and Nigeria’s Intelligent Transportation system
iii)
Ascertain the importance of Educate the public and key players in the
Nigerian transport system on the need for ITS and how intelligent
transportation system can be deployed in Nigeria.
iv) To proffer suggested solution to the identified problem
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
To aid the completion of the study, the following research questions were formulated by the researcher;
i)
Is there any positiveeffect of intelligent transport system in
effective functioning of the transport system in Nigeria?
ii)
Is there any significant relationship between intelligent transport
system and Nigeria’s Intelligent Transportation system?
iii)
does educating the key players in the Nigerian transport system have
any impact on the adoption and implementation of ITS in Nigeria?
1.5 RESEARCH HYPOTHESES
To aid the completion of the study, the following research hypotheses were formulated by the researcher
H0:there is nopositiveeffect of intelligent transport system in effective functioning of the transport system in Nigeria
H1:there is a positiveeffect of intelligent transport system in effective functioning of the transport system in Nigeria
H02:there is no significant relationship between intelligent transport system and Nigeria’s Intelligent Transportation system
H2:there is a significant relationship between intelligent transport system and Nigeria’s Intelligent Transportation system.
1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
It
is believed that at the completion of the study, the findings will be
of great importance to the federal ministry of transport, this is
because the study seek explore the importance of the benefit of adopting
intelligent transport system in combating traffic and other transport
hazards, the study will also be useful to road users as the study will
educate them on the tremendous be
the tremendous benefit of adopting
intelligent transport system, the study will also be of great importance
to researcher who intend to embark on study in a similar topic as the
study will serve as a reference point for further study, finally the
study will also be of great importance to the general public as the
study will also contribute to the pool of available literature on the
subject matter.
