Desarrollo de un sistema de gestión de infraestructura vial de la ruta Miraflores – Sinincay - Racar

Abstract

In this work a road infrastructure management system of the Miraflores - Sinincay - Racar section is carried out, in the Cuenca canton, province of Azuay in Ecuador. The management methodology consists in developing an inventory of the elements that make up the road network and carrying out a survey of the deteriorations along the 9.2 kilometers that comprise this section of road, to generate a database that allows an evaluation of the surface condition of the pavement using the methods of the PCI and Windshield Survey. The results of the evaluation were categorized into four groups Good, Regular, Poor and Failed and from this it is proposed to carry out the alternatives of Patching, Bituminous double surface treatment, Overlay and Reconstruction respectively. Markov chains are used to predict future pavement conditions, based on the determination of the current condition and considering the condition that would be reached when implementing maintenance alternatives to correlate it with the deterioration of the pavement. The above will allow intervening in a timely manner with the appropriate maintenance alternative to improve the level of functionality of the road.
