Abstract

This project focuses on the analysis of the deterioration of the road infrastructure in the urban area of the city of Ambato because it focuses on the evaluation of the factors that cause problems on the roads, such as wear, cracks and ruts, with the objective of identifying critical areas. A georeferenced survey of the roads was carried out using the Global Positioning System (GPS), this for the evaluation of the different types of wearing layers such as flexible, rigid and articulated pavements, as well as sidewalks and curbs following the ASTM D6433 standard. 03, in this way the level of severity of the observed failures was determined, obtaining the conclusion that they exist mostly of medium and low severity. All this was recorded in a detailed database with the type of failure, photo and georeferenced location. With the data obtained previously, the PCI Pavement Condition Index method was used. As a result, a reference budget was developed for the maintenance of the road infrastructure, based on the items obtained for each type of failure found in the different road layers, which will allow the Municipality of Ambato to make precise decisions about the roads evaluated. providing a valuable tool for the maintenance and improvement of road infrastructure in the urban area, contributing to the safety and trust of the community, promoting the economic and social development of the city.
