Abstract

With the lack of access to updated information about the condition of the roads in different areas of the city of Ambato, this project uses visual assessment and the Pavement Condition Index PCI and the respective regulations to identify and analyze the condition of the roads in the Atocha area in the city of Ambato and GPS was used to obtain coordinates of each failure point and with this a detailed database of the road network was created. An evaluation of the roads, curbs and sidewalks in the area was carried out, and the pathologies present were identified, these included deformations, detachments and other forms of damage to the road surface, coordinates were determined using GPS and a geo-referenced database of the road network was created using appropriate software that includes data on the location and condition of each road and details on needed repairs or maintenance, and geographic information system technology was used to map the roads and enter the information into the macro-project database. At the end of the study, this database will be delivered to the GAD Municipal de Ambato so that they can access updated information on road conditions and thus determine which roads are in need of maintenance.
