Abstract
This paper sheds light on the management of a research project in a new topic for IS like the one of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). It describes and discusses the methodology adopted for a survey designed by the authors and experimented during a recent research on ITS carried out on behalf of an Italian Ministry. The paper presents the first results of this research and draw some conclusions on the problems that have to be faced in order to successfully manage such type of research projects and to build a common knowledge base on ITS.
