Abstract

Based on the need to know the road status of the canton “Ambato”, this project is born with the aim of evaluating the roads in the area from Av. Los Guaytambos, Las Ilusiones, Av. Rodrigo Pachano, Mirabeles and Av. Los Capulíes. In the development of the project, a field survey was carried out where the different defects found in the pavements were evaluated visually, the failures found were evidenced through photographs and georeferenced with the GPS; all the information obtained was digitized in a geographic information system software to create a dynamic and visual database where information can be classified and managed in detail. In addition, the PCI calculation was carried out to determine the road condition of the area and a proposal of alternative solutions for the improvement of the damages found with its respective referential budget and the analysis of unit prices of the items to be used was carried out. Upon completion of the project, this will be in charge of the competent authorities of the GAD Municipalidad de Ambato, to optimize the performance of their actions as a contribution of the Technical University of Ambato to the community.
