Abstract

Roads are made up of both pavement and off pavement components. In many cases, only road pavement is subjected to maintenance, leaving out accessory road components even though these components also contribute to overall road performance. Hence, the assessment of both road pavement and road components is vitally important in keeping roads safe and enhancing their overall performance. This study was conducted to know the performance of a select road as well as relevant handling recommendations. The research was carried out on 16 road sections of Magetan Regency, East Java Province with a total length of 85.60 km. The Kabupaten Road Management System (KRMS) Software was used in gathering precise road performance information. Weighting of road components was done using AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) while priority handling was determined using Analysis Network Process (ANP) with Super Decision software. A camera was used for the observation of both road and off pavement conditions. From research results after analyzing 16 Straight Line Diagrams, all road segments were in good condition. However, routine maintenance recommendations have been provided after a 16 Strip Map Diagram analysis of road segments. The first priority is Genengan-Lembeyan road segment followed by the Tamanarum-Lembeyan road.

Highlights

  • Road plays a fundamental role in a nation’s economic and social well-being

  • The physical evaluation of roads using the Kabupaten Road Management System (KRMS) software is supported by the findings in 16 Straight Line Diagram

  • It indicates that the state of 16 district road of Magetan Regency is in excellent shape. b

Summary

Introduction

A common problem, is that roads deteriorate in quality after extended periods of use. This can lead to longer journey durations, increased accidents and a number of other untold road problems for users. Routine and sustainable road maintenance activities are always needed to keep roads motorable and safe for users. This has necessitated the study of KRMS needs which helps to determine the type and extent of road damage as well as proffer best measures to handle the damages. The purpose of this research is to determine road performance status after analysis using KRMS software and to present necessary recommendations for road handling based on road performance results
