Resumen:
Sumario:The lack of efficiency in the use of the on-street infrastructure dedicated to loading and unloading freight in the city, with their shortage and inefficient placement, generates congestion and delays during urban freight deliveries. An exploratory study is presented on the feasibility of incorporating technology into the management of dedicated loading/unloading areas for urban logistics in downtown Montevideo (Uruguay). After data of the neighborhood was collected, and the main stakeholder interest gathered, the paper analyzes a feasible technological solution to the problem, considering the restrictions posed by the stakeholders for sharing information. Due to the increasing influence of blockchain and its implementation for specific logistic problems, such as product traceability, the introduction of blockchain as part of the solution is considered and discussed in the system architecture
