Analysis of Road Damage Level Using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Method on the Surabaya-Gresik Toll Road, East Java

Abstract

The Surabaya–Gresik toll road is a crucial infrastructure connecting Surabaya City with Gresik Regency. In industrial areas such as Gresik Regency, this toll road is indeed needed to expedite the flow of industrial goods distribution to Surabaya City. The toll road experiences frequent damage, such as alligator cracking, as it is traversed daily by heavy traffic. If the road, as a connecting infrastructure, is damaged, it will impede the flow of vehicles passing through it. Therefore, road maintenance is necessary to ensure optimal service for passing vehicles. In this research, an analysis of road damage on the Surabaya – Gresik toll road seeks solutions for addressing these issues utilizing the method of Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The method involves several stages, including a survey of road conditions, determination of severity levels, assessment of damage, and determination of pavement condition. The survey was conducted in 100-meter segments from KM 10 to KM 14, revealing various types of damage on the toll road, including alligator cracking, bleeding, corrugation, shoving, potholes, and more. Thereafter, an analysis of the severity level and damage assessment was carried out, resulting in an average PCI value of 68, categorized as a "Good" condition. Based on these findings, it is recommended to address this issue through routine maintenance, including repairing minor damage, patching potholes, sweeping, repairing pavement edge damage, sidewalk maintenance, side channel and complementary building drainage, road equipment, and roadside maintenance.
