1.7 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The
scope of the study covers the effectiveness of intelligent transport
system on the growth of the Nigerian transport sector, but in the cause
of the study, there were some factors which limited the scope of the
study;
a) AVAILABILITY OF RESEARCH MATERIAL: The research material
available to the researcher is insufficient, thereby limiting the study
b)
TIME: The time frame allocated to the study does not enhance wider
coverage as the researcher has to combine other academic activities and
examinations with the study.
c) Finance: the finances at the disposal
of the researcher which is allocated to the study is a major constrain
to the scope of the study, this is because the available resources has
to be effectively utilized to cover other academic activities.
1.8 DEFINITION OF TERMS
Intelligent transport system
An
intelligent transportation system (ITS) is an advanced application
which, without embodying intelligence as such, aims to provide
