Understanding the dimensions and stages of maturity is important for transportation decision makers because in this way they can make appropriate management decisions by understanding the position of their organization in the maturity of digital transformation. The main purpose of this study is to present the maturity model of digital transformation capability, determine its stages, and investigate the use of Intelligent Transportation Systems and the maturity of transportation-related activities. In this paper, meta-synthesis is used to study the different models and stages of digital transformation maturity in various scientific databases on the Internet and provide a comprehensive summary of the dimensions and stages of maturity. After evaluation, ۳۰ transportation companies in Tehran and their main activities were selected. By analysing the dimensions and stages of maturity in previous papers, the maturity model presented in this paper includes five stages and ۱۰ dimensions in transportation area. These dimensions include digital management, information technology, manpower, operations and processes, culture, organizational structure, innovation and change, new strategies, intelligent products and services and customer orientation.
