Abstract

Deteriorated pavement conditions can reduce road serviceability and pose safety risks to road users. Therefore, a systematic pavement condition evaluation is required to identify pavement distresses and determine appropriate maintenance strategies. This study aims to identify pavement distress types, evaluate pavement conditions, and propose maintenance recommendations for the Pakuhaji Road section in Tangerang Regency from STA 0+000 to STA 3+000 using the Pavement Condition Index method, locally referred to as the Indeks Kondisi Perkerasan (IKP).

The research employed a visual field survey by dividing the ±1.5 km road section into 30 observation segments in each traffic direction. The collected data included distress types, severity levels, and distress dimensions, which were subsequently analyzed to determine the IKP value for each segment and classify the pavement condition. The results indicate that the dominant pavement distresses on the Pakuhaji Road include alligator cracking, potholes, raveling, and localized depressions along the pavement edges. The IKP values range from 38 to 68, indicating pavement conditions varying from failed to moderate. Pavement conditions in the Mauk direction are generally classified as severe to failed, while the Sepatan direction is predominantly classified as moderate to severe. Based on the evaluation results, routine and periodic maintenance is recommended for segments with good to moderate conditions, while structural improvement or reconstruction is required for segments with severe to failed conditions.
