Abstract

In this project, the condition of the urban roads in the canton of Ambato has been evaluated; there are visible physical changes due to climatic changes in recent years, as well as the population growth of society. At the beginning of the project, a visual inspection of the study area was carried out, taking into account the condition of the different types of pavements found in the area. This process was carried out in a meticulous manner with the use of data collection cards and the use of GPS to georeference each existing failure, then the condition of the roads was evaluated using the PCI method, resulting in the level of severity and knowing the characteristics of the roads in order to carry out adequate road maintenance. With the data obtained, a database was generated in a specialized software to take into account where and how the study area is located. Next, once the number of failures in the study area was taken into account, a referential budget for road maintenance was made, generating a solution to the poor condition of the roads. The benefits in road maintenance will increase the socio-economic status of the city, and the increase of commerce and education, finally, the project in question will be delivered in a database to the GAD de Ambato, as a contribution of the Universidad Técnica de Ambato.
