Abstract:

This study explored the roles of computer applications and tools in the transport research process. Information technology (IT) has become evident in the 21st century with the advent of the computer. IT is the encapsulation of computer and telecommunication applications that is used for storing, transmitting, and sending, retrieving, and processing data. IT is an essential part of transport research processes from the beginning stage to the completion stage. The transport research process has witnessed a swift turnaround in the 21st century with the advent of information and communication technology. The most promising tool in the transport research process is a computer. A computer is an indispensable tool in the research process, either for academic purposes or for commercial purposes. The usage of computers in the transport research process is massive such that it is complicated to achieve the successes of transport researches recorded in the present era without the usage of the computer. Several studies conducted today cannot be carried out with the devoid of computer especially those researches that involve highly complicated computations, modeling, and data analysis. Computers are applied in the transport research process from the conceptualization of the research idea to the publishing of the outcome such that the results emanated from such researches will be presented to the transport world.
