Alternativas de rehabilitación mediante la evaluación de la infraestructura vial en carreteras de montaña

Abstract

The deficiencies that occur in the road infrastructure are related to the lack of maintenance on the roads. For this analysis, a methodology is presented based on the conditions found on the E585 road, which connects the Portovelo Canton with the El Pindo sector. To address this study, the following parameters were first evaluated, such as the pavement condition index (PCI), laboratory tests, analysis of vehicular traffic, and determination of pavement roughness (IRI). With an evaluation of each parameter, scales were used to determine what type of maintenance is necessary to apply to the road when deterioration occurs in the pavement. This type of study makes it easier for us to make decisions to be able to guide ourselves through the HDM-4 program. With the use of the software we can generate the appropriate alternatives regarding the results obtained in the methodology. In this way, the information of the criteria. that evaluates, thus performs the execution. In this way, a feasible and favorable project management will be achieved for the conservation of routine and periodic maintenance. The data obtained with the Software refers to the benefit-cost relationship, estimating the IRR and NPV. Through this, it will be possible to have a road in optimal conditions and provide good road service to users
