According to the report, one of the main factors driving the market is the rapid growth of Global smart Cities. Intelligent transportation systems are an integral part of a smart city, and hence, it directly influences the adoption of intelligent transportation systems.

Thus, the rapid growth of the global smart cities market is contributing to the growth of the global intelligent transportation systems market. Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is the high maintenance cost. The high cost of maintaining transportation systems is a matter of concern especially for the public transportation sector. The expense involved in implementing these systems for public transportation is very high, and it can be achieved only by large amounts of government funding and incentives.
