    With the need to have an updated database and with it a road maintenance plan, this project was developed with the objective of obtaining updated information on the status of the roads that make up zone 16 in the city of Ambato. In this project, georeferenced data was collected using a Global Positioning System (GPS), as well as visual analysis of failures in road infrastructure. Technical sheets were used to collect the necessary data and calculate the condition of the roads using the pavement condition index (PCI) method, identifying the level of severity of the failures and evaluating the quality of the wearing course. In addition, a reference budget was prepared for each type of failure found, taking into account the items necessary for the maintenance and repair of roads, sidewalks and curbs in the study area. This resulted in a series of failures found in the three types of pavements, the majority of medium and low severity, even so, with the calculation of the PCI it was established that there are good and very good classification roads, concluding that these roads need a periodic maintenance, all this was reflected in the database that was obtained with the record of all the faults found. In addition, a reference budget of $104,226.45 US dollars was estimated for the maintenance plan. This will be delivered by the Technical University of Ambato to the Municipal GAD of Ambato.

    In this project, the need for an analysis of the road conditions in the urban area of Ambato canton is highlighted. Over time, the asphalt pavement and pavement structure in the area have undergone various changes. It is important to consider that if the road infrastructure is in optimal conditions, it would have a positive impact on the economy and mobility of the inhabitants in the area. In the current research project, a visual study was conducted to assess the road conditions in the Techo Propio urban zone belonging to Ambato canton. Information was gathered visually using the researcher's criteria and applying the use of informative forms. With the assistance of a manual GPS, anomalies or faults along the evaluated roads were documented. The severity level and the condition of the pavement layer of the main roads in the sector were identified using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method. This information aims to provide proper road maintenance for each road. Additionally, a reference budget was prepared for the repair and maintenance of the study area. Upon completion of the road analysis to understand the road conditions in the study area, the geographic information base will be handed over to the Municipal Government of Ambato. This allows the municipality to utilize the information for the benefit of the community, serving as a contribution from the Technical University of Ambato.
