Abstract :This research examines the integration of smart transportation systems with 5G technologies in a designated pilot area in Ankara as part of the IPA-2 Project. The main objective of this study is to identify the critical factors influencing the practitioners of smart transportation systems in the pilot region. Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodology, key considerations for achieving \\\"smart\\\" transportation systems are explored. During the study, communication was established with smart transportation experts from every continent, and an AHP-based questionnaire was sent to 10 experts from each continent, totaling 70 experts. The experts were selected from among electrical engineers, transportation engineers, and planners specializing in ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems). Experts who have worked or are currently working on smart transportation projects formed the sample for this study. The views of transportation system practitioners were collected, and the parameters deemed most important by the experts were identified. The findings emphasize the centrality of environmental awareness among smart transportation system practitioners and highlight the need for eco-friendly transportation solutions. The results also demonstrate that experts consider the \\\"smart environment\\\" parameter the most important. This finding underscores the significance of a clean and sustainable environment for 5G applications in transportation.
