Abstract

This research aimed to inspect the ballast volume to determine the ballast volume deficiencies based on the initial ballast condition from the railroad As-built drawing by using Total Station and Ballast Regulator. The case for this study is a 1.007 km long railroad in which the analysis and calculation were conducted using Autocad Civil 3D software and Microsoft Excel. The result of ballast volume can be used as a reference for the maintenance of the PPI Madiun railroad ballast profile. Another purpose of this research was to compare the two instruments in terms of cross-sectional measurement of the railroad using normality tests, analysis of variance, and scoring with rating scale parameters. The total volume of ballast deficiencies calculated by Autocad Civil 3D outcomes was 627.14 m3. Meanwhile, the volume calculation result from Ballast Regulator was 591.95 m3. The required ballast volume to repair the ballast profile is derived from the difference between the cut and fill volumes of 230.80 m3. Normality test results state that volume calculation data from both instruments were Normally distributed. The graphical comparison showed a similar volume pattern, but ANOVA resulted in a significant difference between the ballast volume calculation results of the total station and ballast regulator. After comparing these parameters, it can be suggested that Total Station provides an accurate and suitable function for measuring railroad ballast profiles.
