Estudio técnico y financiero para la implementación del centro de revisión técnica vehicular en el cantón El Triunfo provincia de Guayas

Abstract

This research is aimed to carry out a technical and financial study to implement a Vehicle Technical Review Center in "El Triunfo", province of Guayas, which should fulfill the minimum requirements established in a resolution to guarantee the appropriate revision of vehicles and control of polluting gas emissions. The study is based on the need to count on a feasibility study prior the execution of the project that complies with the provisions issued by Agencia Nacional de Tránsito, in order to reduce traffic accidents in the area. The information gathering was developed through the application of techniques and instruments such as interviews which helped to verify vehicle information, financing, and the processes that are currently carried out in the Dirección Municipal de Transporte Terrestre, Tránsito y Seguridad Vial del cantón El Triunfo, and the observation files were applied based on the area where the project is to be implemented. The current situation of the DMTTTSV-CT was evaluated in order to analyze its operations and generate improvements within its organization. The study is based on the Resolution 070-DIR-2015 established by Agencia Nacional de Tránsito, which refers to the motor vehicle review process, in order to determine the correct infrastructure, equipment and operations of the Vehicle Technical Review Center. Subsequently, a classification of the vehicle fleet was developed according to its typology, and the number of lines and equipment needed for the CRTV was calculated. The financial analysis allowed to determine the profitability of the project, with a Net Present Value of $ 103,423.65, and an Internal Rate of Return of 7.37%, obtaining a recovery investment period equivalent to a year and eleven months. In conclusion, upon completion of the study which determined that the indicators reflect a good return on the project, the implementation of the Vehicle Technical Review Center is feasible.
