    This thesis project develops a road infrastructure management system for the Paccha-Nulti- Challuabamba route, located in Cuenca canton, Azuay province, Ecuador. The management process involves creating a detailed inventory of the 9-kilometer road, identifying the structural elements of each segment and documenting the various failures present. Based on this database, the pavement condition is evaluated using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method and the Windshield Survey technique, categorizing the segments according to their current condition. Furthermore, Markov transition matrices are employed to predict the evolution of the pavement condition over the next 25 years, considering the current state of each segment and incorporating various intervention alternatives for the road. Finally, an analysis of the proposed intervention options is performed, focusing on the benefit-cost ratio of each alternative to enhance the road’s functionality, safety, and user comfort, while extending its service life and optimizing economic resources.
