Abstract :Transportation problems, irregular urbanisation, inadequate transportation infrastructure, and unplanned urbanisation in our country are growing daily. The fact that the Karabük city centre is an old settlement unsuitable for creating alternative roads is a problem. This study aims to identify and prioritise Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) strategies for the city of Karabük using the Best Worst Method (BWM), a multi-criteria decision-making technique. Ten experts from Karabük Municipality and related departments participated in pairwise comparisons of ITS-related action items outlined in the 2020 National ITS Strategy Document by the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. The consistency ratios of their responses confirmed data reliability. Results indicate that traffic safety, environmental ımpacts, and real-time traffic ınformation are the most important criteria. These findings underline the importance of promoting public transportation and effective passenger information systems. Furthermore, the results provide insights into improving municipalities\\\' range and quality of services.
