Abstract

Road pavement is one of infrastructures that is currently getting most attention due to its important role in accelerating the economic growth rate of an area, opening up isolated regions and improving the connectivity among them. A road infrastructure has a life-cycle which starts from design to reconstruction. Among all phases of road life-cycle, maintenance work plays an important role to maintain the performance of the road always in the top level. To conduct road maintenance work, it is necessary to evaluate the condition of the road, both structurally and functionally. To date, road functional condition assessment uses two indices, namely surface distress index (SDI) and international roughness index (IRI). The SDI, currently used by Directorate General of Highway (DGH), has a simple procedure and is easy to use. Talking about accuracy in estimating the functional conditions of the road, it seem that SDI is still far from satisfactory. In this study, an attempt to evaluate SDI, particular for crack damages, will be proposed by considering all types of crack damage and their corresponding dimension and severity level. Pavement condition index (PCI), the most comprehensive method for evaluating the functional conditions of the road, will be used as the reference. It looks like that PCI is the best choice as a tool to evaluate road functional conditions in Indonesia, however, the weak capability of the field personnel becomes a constraint in optimizing the potential of PCI. Therefore, updating SDI could be now considered as the best solution.
