Abstract

Effective road infrastructure maintenance is essential to ensure the sustainability and safety of the transportation system, particularly in urban areas. This study focuses on the application of the Surface Distress Index (SDI) in road condition assessment using a regression model to explore various factors affecting road damage. The methodology used included data collection through field surveys on 42 urban road segments with 2,467 observational data points. The collected data comprised information on crack length and width, potholes, and rutting. Multiple linear regression analysis and the exploration of non-linear models were conducted to evaluate the relationship between these variables and road conditions. The results showed that the number of potholes had the strongest correlation with the SDI, followed by crack width and rutting. The logarithmic model proved to be the most efficient in predicting road conditions, with an R2 value of 0.75, an Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) of 22,856.35, and a Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) of 22,879.59, indicating a balance between simplicity and the ability to explain variance in the data. This study contributes to the development of data-driven road maintenance methodologies, which can be applied in planning road maintenance that is more accurate, efficient, and sustainable.

Abstract

The Surface Distress Index (SDI) is a crucial parameter to consider when determining road conditions as part of an effective maintenance strategy. This study aims to develop an SDI prediction model using road surface distress data to enhance maintenance planning. The developed Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model resulted in an optimal structure with two hidden layers comprising 6 neurons and 4 neurons, respectively. The model was trained using two years of surface distress data collected from 40 road sections managed by the city’s road maintenance division. Variables used included Composition, Condition, Depression, Patches, Damage types, Crack Area, and Crack Width. The results demonstrated high accuracy in predicting SDI, with model performance achieving an R² of 0.87. This model can be applied to optimize the efficiency of road maintenance strategies.

Abstract

Road damage is a significant problem in many countries, including Indonesia, and it can affect safety, transportation efficiency, and the quality of life of communities, especially on urban roads. This study aims to develop a data-based model using the K-Means algorithm to detect and classify the levels of urban road damage based on the Surface Distress Index (SDI) parameter. The data used comprised 2,467 road segments containing information on the types and levels of damage over the past five years. The clustering model was designed with two and four clusters, and the results indicated that the four-cluster model provided a clearer and more representative separation of road conditions. The Silhouette Coefficient value of the four-cluster model is 0.513, indicating a more detailed and clearer separation compared to the two-cluster model with a Silhouette value of 0.423. The four cluster model is better at telling apart complex data structures than the two cluster model. The results of this study contribute to the development of a road condition monitoring system based on maintenance priority data categorized by road condition, which can be adapted to improve infrastructure policies in Indonesia and other developing countries.
