    The main objective of this project was to assess the condition of the urban road infrastructure in the Santa Rosa parish, located in the Ambato canton, specifically in zone 53–56. To achieve this, the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) was used, allowing for the identification and classification of roadway failures, as well as the determination of their severity levels. Additionally, a georeferenced survey of the area was carried out using precision equipment such as an RTK, GPS and a drone, which facilitated the acquisition of accurate coordinates and the capture of images for a detailed visual analysis of the existing defects. In the second phase, a traffic study and an analysis of its impact on the road infrastructure were conducted, along with a soil study to evaluate the quality of the material beneath the roadways. This phase made it possible to determine the type of maintenance required based on the road conditions and the results obtained from the PCI, as well as to calculate the Average Annual Daily Traffic (TPDA) and its future projection. The outcome of this work was the development of an intervention plan for road maintenance, which mainly includes the type of intervention required according to the PCI index, as well as an estimated budget covering the costs of the activities necessary for roadway rehabilitation and preservation. This budget analysis will serve as a tool for local authorities to make informed decisions and optimize resources to maintain and improve the road network, all with the aim of enhancing mobility and the quality of life of the residents of the Santa Rosa parish.
