The purpose of this study is the feasibility of developing eco-oriented strategies and operational plans for the development of smart transportation systems in Khorramabad city. Descriptive-analytical research method was implemented using survey. The research data collection tool was a researcher-made questionnaire in two stages. The statistical population included managers, responsible specialists and experts in the cargo and passenger transportation management organization of Khorramabad municipality and consultants related to the transportation system, of which 30 people were selected as the sample size. The prioritization of the strategies obtained from the questionnaires was done using the combined method (AHP and ACCEPT) and the QSPM method. The results of these two methods were compared using SPSS software and by calculating Spearman's correlation coefficient, and the coefficient was 0.98. Analyzes related to the combined method (AHP and ACCEPT) were performed using EXPERT CHOICE software and the inconsistency rate for prioritizing goals, development axes and strategies was obtained in all numerical stages smaller than 0.1. SWOT matrix was used to formulate strategies. The innovation of the current research is the use of different software from previous studies and the provision of appropriate strategies and operational plans for the smartening of urban transportation systems. The results of the present study showed that Khorramabad city is in a poor condition in terms of developing smart transportation systems. Regarding the goals of intelligent transportation, priority was obtained with safety, public satisfaction, environmental improvement, and reduction of energy consumption and delay time, respectively. Also, in relation to the six axes of development of intelligent transportation, priority was given to management and organizational policies, financing, human resources, technical infrastructure, cultural environment, and legal matters, respectively.
