Diseño de un sistema de gestión de infraestructura vial sustentable en la Municipalidad de Gualaceo

Abstract

In this work, a road management system is carried out in Gualaceo-Ecuador, having parameters of sustainability, when carrying out an analysis of the life cycle cost of the infrastructure. The method to be used is Windshield, applicable at the network level, which allows obtaining as an indicator of the condition of the ICF infrastructure (Functional Condition Index), similar to the PCI (Pavement Condition Index). This method consists in making a windshield survey of the condition of the road in a visual way, allowing to obtain the most common existing deteriorations, their severity and the frequency at which they are found. The Real Cost and PALATE software are used to perform an analysis of the life cycle cost. Finally, Markov chains will be used to evaluate the deterioration of the roads over time. As results it was found that the number of roads under excellent conditions are 33%, with a very good state 59% and with a good state 8%. The prediction of the deterioration indicates that in 10 years the road network will require 46% reconstruction, while 37% a rehabilitation, this if no intervention is made. From the economic point of view, an asphalt pavement has almost half the cost as opposed to a rigid one, but in environmental aspects it is much more toxic, with 9.5 times the carcinogenic potential. The management methodology will allow to intervene in a timely manner the type of treatment that must be carried out in order to increase the level of functionality
