Abstract: Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) is a collection of amazing achievement of information technology in transportation which has transformed quality of people’s lives as well as transportation management. Its use is essential given the increasing population and traffic increase. To take advantage of it is necessary to identify the main requirements of this system as its first architecture level given the area and location of its implementation and then the implementation conditions of next architecture levels is provided by determining the importance of each requirement and their components. This paper aims to determine and prioritize the requirements of architecture deployment of intelligent Transportation System in Iran and from the perspective of exports of this system in organizations in charge; thus, the statistical population is all export and specialists of ITS in seven organizations and companies involved and responsible in this field. For this purpose, 3 types of requirements have been introduced according to the research model: 1. the managerial structure; 2. Necessary contexts; 3. Technological requirements, and several indices have been proposed for each factor. The research method is descriptive-applied; and questionnaire and paired comparisons matrix have been used for collecting the required data, and SPSS software has been used for statistical analysis of information. The indices weights have been obtained using AHP method. In this study five research hypotheses have been proposed to investigate the existing and optimal conditions for deploying it; after the investigation, it was indicated that among the three introduced requirements in the model, the first and important priority in its implementation is managerial structure. It is worth mentioning that all three types of requirements are needed for implementing this project.
