Evaluation of road maintenance priority using PCI and road note 1 for Indonesian district roads

Abstract

It is likely that resources for road maintenance will be limited, and the decisions will be required in the most effective way of applying them. This means the importance to determine the priority of road maintenance. The objective of this research was to evaluate the road maintenance priority using Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and Road Note 1 for Indonesian district roads. Locations for this research were the roads in Jombang and Blitar district and 8 (eight) road segments were taken from each district. Distress data was taken by visual observation referred to ASTM D6433. There were 20 distress types that had been recorded. Method of determining road maintenance priority was Road Note 1. The results of the research as obtained from the combination method of PCI and Road Note 1 for survey and prioritization, can be identified as follows: four road segments are in good condition, four are satisfactory, four are in fair condition, two are in poor condition, one is in a very poor condition, and one road segment is in serious condition. In total, 12 of 16 road segments are in stable condition. The use of the combination of PCI and Road Note 1 with modifications in Indonesian district roads merits consideration. The modification is required especially for traffic levels greater than 1000 vehicles/day to be split into more details to accommodate the Indonesian traffic.It is likely that resources for road maintenance will be limited, and the decisions will be required in the most effective way of applying them.
