| dc.description.abstract | The Cariu-Jagatamu Highway, as a provincial road in the Cariu District,
is often complained about by drivers due to its severe condition and
potential hazards. This road segment, which connects Bogor and Karawang
regencies, has experienced significant damage, primarily due to heavy
vehicle traffic and water pooling. Therefore, evaluating the condition of the
road pavement is deemed essential to identify the extent of the existing
damage. This study employs two methods for analyzing road conditions: the
Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and the Surface Distress Index (SDI).
Additional evaluations are conducted using a mechanistic-empirical
approach through the KENPAVE application, which utilizes linear
modeling to determine the pavement's lifespan. Survey results indicate that
both methods categorize the road as being in "very poor" condition, with
final PCI values of 28.067 and 30, and an average SDI of 151.83, indicating
severe surface damage. Further analysis using the mechanistic-empirical
method with the KENPAVE program predicts a very poor pavement
lifespan, with remaining life for fatigue, deformation, and rutting reaching
negative values, highlighting the urgent need for repairs. The proposed
reconstruction design includes an FFF2 type pavement structure with
appropriate layer thickness to enhance road durability. The conclusion
suggests that although the results from PCI and SDI show different patterns,
the combination of both methods provides a comprehensive overview of the
road condition and underscores the urgent need for remedial actions to
improve road user safety. | en_US |
