Miraflores and Dalias where the sections are calculated, then the PCI is extinguished, they allow to know the current state of the roads; the same method does not allow the tolerance range that goes from 100 to mean that it is in excellent condition and zero that it is totally deteriorated or failed; the type of maintenance that we must opt for said route is indicated.
