Evaluation of Road Damage Assessment Using IKP and SDI Methods in Kartini – KH. Ahmad Dahlan Street, Batam City

Abstract

Batam City is one of the fastest-growing cities in terms of population and private vehicle ownership. Additionally, Batam serves as a transportation link connecting Indonesia to Singapore. The Kartini - Kh. Ahmad Dahlan road has not yet received proper maintenance for damage caused by the increasing daily traffic volume, nor does it have adequate drainage systems to handle rainfall, leading to flexible pavement being submerged in rainwater for extended periods. IKP (Pavement Condition Index) is a classification system for evaluating pavement surface conditions based on functionality, referring to the condition and damage observed on the pavement surface (Hardiyatmo, 2007). The IKP method categorizes pavement damage into three levels: Low (R), Medium (S), and High (T). Meanwhile, the Surface Distress Index (SDI) assesses pavement conditions through visual observations. Key types of damage considered during visual surveys include cracks, potholes, and wheel path rutting. The obtained values are calculated using the Bina Marga 2011. The average pavement damage value on Kartini - Kh. Ahmad Dahlan Street, based on the Surface Distress Index (SDI) method, is 47, which is categorized as good condition. Meanwhile, the average pavement damage value based on the Pavement Condition Index (IKP) method is 61, which falls into the moderate condition category.
