Large vehicles that repeatedly pass a road cause damage to the pavement of the Jatisari National Road, Karawang. Various pavement damage that occurs such as holes, patches, crocodile skin cracks, groove cracks, sungkur, roadside cracks, and subsidence. Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is a method commonly used to indicate the condition of road pavement, so that it can be known good handling to maintain the pavement. The Surface Distress Index (SDI) method can also be used to indicate the condition of the road surface. With the PCI method, the results of the calculation in the Pamanukan direction are classified as perfect at 78%, very good 14%, good 4% and moderate 4%. while the Cikampek direction is classified as perfect at 74%, very good 12%, good 8%, moderate 4%, and bad 2%. Using the SDI method, good results were obtained for both directions. Based on the results of the analysis, research using the PCI and SDI methods showed different results, because the PCI method observed all the damage that occurred on the pavement, while the SDI method only observed 4 elements of damage, so the results displayed were different. ABSTRAKKendaraan besar yang berulang kali melewati sebuah jalan menyebabkan kerusakan pada perkerasan Jalan Nasional Jatisari, Karawang.

Abstract: Abstract:Damage that occurs on some road segment causing huge lossed, especially for road users such as a long travel time, traffic jam, incident, and etc. In general there variety factor that caused of road damage such as age of the road that has been passed, puddle onthe road surface that cannot flow due to the poor drainage, trafic load excessively repetitive (overloaded). Which can cause life time is shorter than planning. Improper planning, poor monitoring and the implementation is not accordance with the existing plan, in addition to the lack of maintenance costs, delays in budget spending and priorities of improper handling also be the cause. It should be noted in order to avoid decreased in the quality of roads due to damage on road surface. The purpose of this study is to determined damage of the road extent/level using PCI method (Pavement Condition Index), determined the effect of road damage to the speed of vehicle using Regression Analysis method. This research take location in the road segment of Blang Bintang Lama road, and Teungku hasan Dibakoi each road is divided into 7 that being reviewed according to the level of damage. Primary data collected by field actual survey in the form of geometric data, extensive damage to the road, and vehicle speed. The results showed that damage of the road is very affected on the vehicle speed as seen on Blang Bintang Lama in V segment the value of PCI is 10 with failed condition and vehicle speed just reached 5.31 Km/h, while in VII segment PCI value is 87 with perfect road condition (excellent) vehicle speed reached to 58.34 Km/h, so that the equation obtained by regression analysis of Y = (3,571)(0,032) ͯ, while for segment in Teungku Hasan Dibakoi road as seen in III Segment PCI value is 4 with failed condition with vehicle speed just 4.95 Km/h, while in the VII segment PCI value is 88 with perfect road condition (excellent) vehicle speed reached to 68.64 Km/h, so the equation obtained by regression analysis of Y is Y= (3,822)(0,035) ͯ. This suggests that higher levels of road damage will affected to slower speed of vehicle, otherwise the lower level of damage road, will make the higher speed of vehicle.Abstrak: Kerusakan jalan yang terjadi di beberapa ruas jalan menimbulkan kerugian yang sangat besar terutama bagi pengguna jalan seperti waktu tempuh yang lama, kemacetan, kecelakaan, dan lain-lain. Secara umum penyebab kerusakan jalan ada berbagai sebab yaitu umur rencana jalan yang telah dilewati, genangan air pada permukaan jalan yang tidak dapat mengalir akibat drainase yang kurang baik, beban lalu lintas berulang yang berlebihan (overloaded) yang menyebabkan umur pakai jalan lebih pendek dari perencanaan. Perencanaan yang tidak tepat, pengawasan yang kurang baik dan pelaksanaan yang tidak sesuai dengan rencana yang ada, selain itu minimnya biaya pemeliharaan, keterlambatan pengeluaran anggaran serta prioritas penanganan yang kurang tepat juga menjadi penyebabnya. Hal ini perlu diperhatikan agar tidak terjadi penurunan kualitas jalan akibat kerusakan permukaan jalan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan tingkat dan jenis kerusakan jalan dengan menggunakan metode PCI (Pavement Condition Index), mengetahui pengaruh kerusakan jalan terhadap kecepatan kendaraan dengan menggunakan metode Analisis Regresi. Penelitian ini mengambil lokasi pada ruas Jalan Blang Bintang Lama dan ruas Jalan Teungku Hasan Dibakoi yang masing-masing jalan terbagi atas 7 segmen yang ditinjau menurut tingkat kerusakannya. Pengumpulan data primer dilakukan dengan survey aktual lapangan yaitu berupa data geometrik jalan, luas kerusakan jalan, dan kecepatan kendaraan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kerusakan sangat berpengaruh terhadap kecepatan kendaraan seperti yang terlihat pada ruas jalan Blang Bintang Lama pada segmen V dengan nilai PCI 10 kondisi jalan gagal (failed) dengan kecepatan kendaraan mencapai 5,37 Km/Jam, sedangkan pada segmen VII nilai PCI sebesar 87 dengan kondisi jalan sempurna (excellent) kecepatan kendaraan mencapai 58,34 Km/Jam, sehingga didapat persamaan dengan metode analisis regresi Y= (3,571)(0,032) ͯ, sedangkan untuk ruas Jalan Teungku Hasan Dibakoi terlihat pada segmen III nilai PCI 4 kondisi jalan gagal (failed) dengan kecepatan mencapai 4,95 Km/Jam, sedangkan pada segmen VII nilai PCI sebesar 88 dengan kondisi jalan sempurna (excellent) kecepatan kendaraan mencapai 68,64 Km/Jam, sehingga didapat persamaan dengan metode analisis regresi Y= (3,822)(0,035) ͯ. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa semakin tinggi tingkat kerusakan jalan maka semakin rendah kecepatan kendaraan, sebaliknya semakin rendah tingkat kerusakan maka semakin tinggi kecepatan kendaraan.

[IN] Ruas Jalan Soekarno-Hatta kota Palembang merupakan Jalan Nasional yang berkelas Jalan Arteri Primer yang dilapisi dengan perkerasan lentur (flexible pavement). Jalan yang diamati dari Simpang Empat fly over Tanjung Api-Api hingga Simpang Empat Macan Lindungan  memiliki panjang 8,45 kilometer. Saat itu kota Palembang sedang menggenjot pembangunan proyek venue dan LRT guna menyukseskan perhelatan olahraga Asian games. Ruas Jalan Soekarno-Hatta Palembang digunakan sebagai aktivitas lalulintas kendaraan proyek akibatnya terjadi peningkatan volume kendaraan dan kepadatan lalulintas yang tak terkendali, sehingga dikhawatirkan berdampak pada kualitas perkerasan jalan tersebut. Tujuan Penelitian ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi kerusakan permukaan perkerasan lentur jalan dengan menggunakan metode PCI (Pavement Condition Index). Survei metode PCI dilakukan secara visual berdasarkan jenis dan tingkat kerusakan jalan dengan penilaian numerik antara nol (gagal) hingga seratus (sempurna). Hasil identifikasi kerusakan permukaan jalan menunjukkan bahwa kerusakan yang terjadi pada ruas jalan tersebut sebanyak tujuh jenis yaitu kegemukan, amblas, keriting, pelepasan butiran, retak kulit buaya serta tonjolan dan lengkungan. Jumlah unit sampel segmen jalan yang mengalami kerusakan sebanyak 17 unit sampel dari total yang diteliti 68 unit sampel dengan nilai rata-rata PCI didapatkan sebesar 95,655 artinya jalan tersebut dengan kondisi “Sempurna”. Meskipun ruas jalan tersebut tergolong sempurna secara kondisi, akan tetapi masih terdapat kerusakan yang terjadi pada ruas tersebut, untuk itu perlu dilakukan pemeliharaan jalan pada unit sampel yang rusak sehingga dapat menjaga kualitas serta umur layak ruas jalan tersebut. [EN] The Soekarno-Hatta Road section of the city of Palembang is a classy National Road of the Primary Arterial Road that is equipped with flexible pavement. The road chosen from Simpang Empat fly over Tanjung Api-Api to Simpang Empat Macan Lindungan has a length of 8.45 kilometers. At present the city of Palembang is being promoted by a construction site and LRT project to succeed in the sporting event Asian games. The Soekarno-Hatta Palembang Road Section is used as a project vehicle traffic activity resulting in an increase in vehicle volume and uncontrolled traffic density, so it is feared to have an impact on the quality of the pavement. The purpose of this study was to identification road surface damage using the PCI (Pavement Condition Index) method. PCI survey method is carried out  visually based on the type and severity level of road damage with a numerical rating between zero (failed) to one hundred (excellent). The results of identification of road surface damage showed that there were 7 types of damage that occurred on the road section namely bleeding, depression, corrugation, weathering and raveling, potholes, alligator cracking, and bumps and sags. The number of sample units of the road segment that suffered damage as many as 17 sample units of the total studied by 68 units samples with an average value of PCI obtained by 95,655, This means that the road with the condition "excellent". Even though the road is classified as excellent, but damage is still needed in that section, for this reason it is necessary to maintain the road on the damaged sample unit so that it can be used at a reasonable quality for the life of the road section.

Abstract The pavement condition index (PCI) is a simple, convenient and inexpensive way to monitor the condition of the surface of roads, identify maintenance and rehabilitation (M-and-R) needs as well as ensure that road maintenance budgets are spent wisely. In this research, the pavement condition was evaluated in terms of the surface distresses existing at the time of the field evaluation. The PCI procedure was used in this research because it deals with the subject of pavement distress identification most comprehensively and is based on a sound statistical technique of pavement sampling. Because of limited maintenance fund availability in Yemen, timely and rational determination of M-and-R needs and priorities are very important factors. The PAVER™ (1982) condition rating procedure, as described in the Technical Manual TM 5-623, Pavement Maintenance Management, which is based on the PCI, was used in this study to evaluate a major heavy-traffic road corridor connecting Aden city (the commercial capital of Yemen) with major cities located in the northern region of the country. Based on the PCI of the road sections, the necessary maintenance or rehabilitation procedure is suggested.
