Optimización de la distribución urbana de mercancías (Dum): Caso de estudio mercado mayorista gran colombia Loja, Ecuador

Abstract

Abstract: This This research is focused on the Optimization of Urban Distribution of Goods (DUM) in the wholesale market Gran Colombia de Loja, it should be noted that this type of activities generates traffic congestion, especially at peak hours, as it is at noon. Most of these inconveniences are rooted in the lack of regulation, as vehicles load and unload in unauthorized areas, affecting traffic and residents; therefore, the implementation of exclusive loading and unloading zones has been proposed through a parking area that is reorganized into a single space for all activities (DUM), which will have wide platforms, and regulations by a shift system through the CLIPP application. The analysis reveals that light trucks predominate in the distribution of non-perishable foodstuffs; in addition, the area of interest is located outside the wholesale market, so it is required for the complete adequacy of the DUM areas. As a solution, a space with 14 platforms was designed, including dispatch, storage and reception areas, ensuring a more efficient and safe vehicular flow.
