Very important parameters have changed, from transportation preferences to use of public transportation. Priorities and investment planning were affected by this process. I would like to hear your opinion or valuable contributions on this matter.
You pointed to a very relevant point. May I argue that digital transformation brings in opportunity for intelligent transportation systems and so accelerate the emergence of novel solutions:

3) Feng Li (2020). Leading digital transformation: three emerging approaches for managing the transition, International Journal of Operations & Production Management, July 2020, Citation: "The research finds that at least three new approaches are emerging in leading organizations, which are (1) innovating by experimenting, (2) radical transformation via successive incremental changes and (3) dynamic sustainable advantages through an evolving portfolio of temporary advantages."

In conclusion please let me argue that successful implementation of digital transformation in intelligent transport system - projects needs utilization of strategy combining open innovation with open science.
I think transformation desired in intelligent transportation systems has not been delayed in the pandemic process in the broad sence .In the implementation point of view, yes pandemic has created a certain level of delay. But research works are going very smoothly & perception regarding research works in the field of ITS has changed a lot for this pandemic.
