1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
In most urban or even rural areas, traffic congestion has increased substantially. It is shown and proved that traffic
accidents happen because of the interaction between humans and road or environmental factors. In the safe system
framework, Road Authorities need to deliver inharmony safe roads. To direct this problem based on knowledge of
the road safety inspection condition and include the numbers of funds available for the road safety involvement. The
road safety infrastructure that has problems can be detected proactively or reactively by the number of crashes that
happened depending on the data on crashes. JKR has invented strategies that include two types of road safety action.
First is the accident reduction that we focus on identifying and eliminating the 'Blackspots' and second focus on the
design of the safer roads and improving traffic management for all the road users. To emphasize, this is about road
safety Auditing. As for the meaning of Road Safety Audit are the planning, design and construction of the road
project and the characteristics of operations on the existing road to ensure the safety of the road user.
Pavement Condition Index is a formal examination of the existing road. Project Highway and Traffic Engineering
DAC21903 for group 8 is about Pavement Condition Index (PCI) at Jalan Sungai Panchor. The road safety
inspection along 500meter. The study area is Jalan Sungai Panchor starting in front of the mosque and ending in
front of the riverside panchor shop. The elements needed for the Road Inspection are the road signs using the
MeTRA guidelines and the common checklist item provided.

1.3 Problem statement
Pavement condition has been long considered one of the social responsibilities of the Malaysian Government. The
public area, Jalan Sungai Panchor, intended to explore the road safety inspection for 500 meters. The study area has
been chosen because the entrance is located on the main road. The main data analysis needed for this study is the
Pavement Condition Index Checklist and the MeTRA public zone checklist. The safety level of these roads can be
observed by using the Road Inspection Checklist to inspect the common items along the school zone, such as
pedestrian crossing, sidewalk, bus stop, calming devices, waiting for area and road marking. To be precise, the
MeTRA public zone checklist focuses on the distance between the signboard and the location. So, this study needs
to be carried out to evaluate and justify the Pavement Condition Index to ensure the safety of the road and the user
before any improvement works can be proposed.
The Malaysian government has long been viewed as having a social responsibility to promote pavement
condition. The study's suggested area, Jalan Sungai Panchor, was designed to investigate road safety assessment for
a distance of 500 meters. The entrance to the study area is situated on the main road, thus the decision to use it. The
Pavement Condition Index Checklist serves as the primary source of data analysis for this project. Therefore, before
any enhancement works can be suggested, this study must be completed to evaluate and support the Pavement
Condition Index to ensure the safety of the road and the user.
3.0 OBJECTIVE
There are (3) objectives that need to be done for the study:
a) To inspect the safety of the road by using the Pavement Condition Index checklist.
b) To study the safety of road at the area of Jalan Sungai Panchor for 500 meters.
c) To identify and evaluate the road signboard at the area of the study, which is Jalan Sungai Panchor
4.0 METHODOLOGY
The project was to carry out Pavement Condition Index (PCI) at the selected location. The road we selected was
Jalan Sungai Panchor, which was to be placed in Panchor, Johor. The method used to obtain the results of road
safety inspections is by using a measuring tape. The distance that we focused on obtaining the data is 500 m. To
design the project in a targeted way, we used the MeTRA guidelines and used the checklist that has been prepared to
check for marked roads or any other elements. The project also follows a road safety audit by the Department of
Public Work (JKR) (Malaysia), which focuses on driver safety and the project that was completed.

4.3 Method
Depending on the type of pavement being assessed for a PCI condition survey, several techniques will be employed.
The pavement section must be separated into sample units for all surface types before selecting the units to be
inspected. For this study, Asphalt-Surfaced Pavements will be used. According to the PCI distress manual, a sample
unit is assessed by measuring the distress type and severity and documenting the information on the flexible
pavement survey sheet. For asphalt-surfaced roads and airfield pavements, the definitions of distress and the
methods for measuring it are supplied. When conducting the PCI survey, these definitions should be strictly adhered
to. For each sample unit, a separate data sheet is used. For example, a sample of 100 meters will be present in one
datasheet. So, the total for 500 meters will be concluded in 5 data sheets. The distress identification codes used in
the Micro PAVER system are the same as the distress codes provided on the data sheets. A particular distress type at
a specific severity level is represented by a row on the datasheet. The sheet below is the Asphalt Surfaced Road and
Parking Lot Condition Survey Data Sheet that will be used throughout the survey.

5.0 PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX
The pavement condition rating is based on the PCI, which is a numerical indicator based on a scale of 0 to 100. The
PCI measures the pavement’s structural integrity and surface operational condition. Its scale and associated ratings
are as shown in Figure 3.

Maintenance Activity.

6.0 DATA ANALYSIS
There are two ways of inspecting a pavement section; i.e., inspecting every unit in the section or inspecting by
sampling. Data collected during either method of inspection is used to calculate the PCI. This paragraph explains
how to calculate the PCI for a particular sample unit, and how to calculate the PCI for the entire pavement section.
An important item in the calculation of the PCI is the "deduct value." A deduct value is a number from 0 to 100,
with 0 indicating the distress has no impact on pavement condition, and 100 indicating an extremely serious distress
which causes the pavement to fail. Calculating the PCI for a sample unit is a simple procedure which involves five
steps:
Step 1:
Inspect sample units: Determine distress types and severity levels and measure density.
Step 2:
The deduct values are determined from the deduct value curves for each distress type and severity.
Step 3:
A total deduct value (TDV) is computed by summing all individual deduct values.
Step 4:
Once the TDV is computed, the corrected deduct value (CDV) can be determined from the correction curves.
When determining the CDV, if any individual deduct value is higher than the CDV, the CDV is set equal to the
highest individual deduct value. For example, assume that two distresses were found in an asphalt pavement, one
with a deduct value of 50, and the other with a deduct value of 10. Using figure C-20, the CDV for q=2 (q = number
of individuals deducts whose value is greater than 5) is 44. Since 44 is lower than 50, the CDV is set equal to 50.
Step 5:
The PCI is computed using the relation PCI = 100 - CDV.

8.0 CONCLUSION
Following the inspection of the main road of Jalan Sungai Panchor, we discussed some recommendations for
improvement. First and foremost, it should have a park for cars and motorcycle because we don’t want cars stopping
at the places they shouldn’t. Therefore, as a result, allocate a specific parking space for the cars and motorcycle so
that unwanted events do not happen. Before this, parking space for parents was relatively small, and it could only
allow a few vehicles to park here. So, the provision of waiting areas for worker, school van, etc., should be tried to
expand. So that's it for the people at Jalan Sungai Panchor to improvement proposals. We are convinced that all the
factors involved will guarantee a high level of safety in the environment. As a result, the risk of traffic accidents in
the area may be decreased. There may be less traffic congestion if there are allocated parking areas. In summary, we
discovered that the level of security is medium. This is because a few things need to be improved to create a good
level of security.
