The aim of this paper is to understand whether Distributed Ledger\nTechnologies (DLTs) are ready to support complex services, such as those\nrelated to Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). In smart transportation\nservices, a huge amount of sensed data is generated by a multitude of vehicles.\nWhile DLTs provide very interesting features, such as immutability,\ntraceability and verifiability of data, some doubts on the scalability and\nresponsiveness of these technologies appear to be well-founded. We propose an\narchitecture for ITS that resorts to DLT features. Moreover, we provide\nexperimental results of a real test-bed over IOTA, a promising DLT for IoT.\nResults clearly show that, while the viability of the proposal cannot be\nrejected, further work is needed on the responsiveness of DLT infrastructures.\n
