Abstract

This study tended to present a model for examining the effective factors on adoption of blockchain-based intelligent transportation systems (ITS). The methodology employed was correlational descriptive approach using structural equation modeling. The research involved collecting data through a survey, which was completed by 368 individuals residing in prominent cities across Iran. The findings of the study suggest that perceived quality of digital services significantly impacts perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, and trust in a positive manner. Additionally, the positive influence of information technology infrastructure and social influence on perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness is evident. Moreover, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness play pivotal roles in building trust and fostering adoption of blockchain-based ITS. The study also highlights the positive and significant impact of transparent governance on trust and adoption. Furthermore, policies and regulations are identified as key drivers of perceived usefulness and adoption of such systems. Lastly, perceived trust and security are found to positively influence adoption. These findings underscore the potential of the examined variables to serve as robust predictors for the adoption of blockchain-based ITS by citizens.
