INTRODUCTION
Roads in Indonesia are a cohesive network system to connect all parts of
Indonesia as infrastructure. (Government of the Republic of Indonesia 2004). Due
to the very important benefits of road maintenance and construction, it will be a
priority in the development of planning and implementation as well as mainte-
nance. (Yoga Triardhana, Bandi Sasmito, and Firman Hadi 2021).. However,
there must be a way to maintain smooth travel because as the road ages, it will
deteriorate (Alhasan 2015; Alhasan et al. n.d.; Bulaha 2018).
Based on the role and position of road maintenance today and in the future,
as well as looking at the experience of road maintenance implementation in the
past, it is necessary to take concrete steps to strengthen road maintenance
management today and in the future. (Directorate General of Highways 2011)
Road maintenance in the past has been inadequate due to the weakness of several
factors, including handling methods, limited trained personnel, limited equipment
units, and so on. (Prijo Sadewo 1995; Richard W. V. Uguy and Vanda S. Rompis
2021).
Therefore, effective road management is essential. The impact of traffic
intensity and excessive load will affect the quality, so maintenance measures need
to be taken to keep the road in a stable and well-maintained condition. To carry
out road treatments accurately, it is important to carry out preliminary planning
according to data from careful condition surveys.(Indonesian Public Works 1995;
Suwardo and Heru Budi Utomo 2020)
Based on the role and position of road maintenance in the present and
future, and looking at the past experience of road accounting, we need to take
concrete steps in monitoring the management of road maintenance in the present
and future. Road maintenance in the past has been inadequate due to the weakness
of several factors, such as handling methods, restrictions on trained personnel,
limited equipment units, and so on.(Wahyu, Pratikso, and Siegfried 2023)..
To evaluate the condition of the pavement, one method is to use a roughness
measuring device called a rough meter, which aims to measure the consistency
and obtain the straightness value of the longitudinal surface of the road in IRI
values.(ASTM International, 2003; Bahaaeldin Hassan, 2021)
This research was conducted to determine the unevenness value of the road
with different tools and research studies and different tools, namely using a rough
meter with an ultrasonic type sensor, which is named ultrasonic surface rough
meter. With this research, can be considered for experts in conducting road
maintenance planning on-site and also trying to make an IRI-Based Road
Function Performance Evaluation with "Ultrasonic Surface Rough meter", and
this research focuses more on calibrating the "Ultrasonic Surface Rough meter"
Prototype tool with a standard tool, namely the Gapman Working Profilometer.
This study presents an innovation in the method of measuring road surface
roughness using ultrasonic sensors that are more economical than conventional
imported tools. The "Ultrasonic Surface Roughmeter" prototype was developed as
a more affordable alternative solution with a high level of accuracy that is close to
standard tools. This offers a new contribution to road measurement technology,
especially for countries with limited budgets for road infrastructure maintenance.
This study aims to develop and calibrate the "Ultrasonic Surface
Roughmeter" prototype with the standard Gap Man Working Profilometer tool.
Thus, this prototype is expected to provide accurate measurement results against
the International Roughness Index (IRI) as a reference for more efficient highway
planning and maintenance.
This study provides several benefits:
1. Facilitating the evaluation of road conditions with more economical and
effective tools so that they can be widely implemented in various road
maintenance projects.
2. Increase the efficiency of road maintenance budgets with tools that have lower
production costs but still have high accuracy.
3. Provide accurate data on road surface roughness, which can support strategic
planning in extending the service life of highways and increasing the comfort
of road users.
RESEARCH METHOD
Road condition is an index that objectively uses certain criteria or ranges to
determine the level of deterioration of a road, and there are many types of road
condition measurements. (Transportation Association of Canada, 2006)
From these various indices, there is a difference between the functional and
structural conditions of the pavement. The difference can be used in the same
index when looking at the Remaining Life. The remaining service life is estimated
based on the total number of vehicles passing that year, with the surface still in
functional and structural condition, with only routine maintenance. (Baladi & GY,
1991)
In this study, the IRI value can be used to see the function of the road,
while the Pavement Modulus is used to see the pavement structure. The IRI value
is obtained from the results of a road surface roughness survey using a roughness
meter.(Dewi Asri Anugrah, 2021)
Pavement damage (volume and severity) is obtained from the Road Survey
(SRD), which aims to build and develop the road network, while the road surface
roughness value in the longitudinal direction is obtained using the IRI value
expressed in m/km. (SNI 03-3426-1994, 1994)
The pavement condition value obtained from the Surface Distress Index
(SDI) is a system value from visual observations that can be used as a reference
for maintenance. From this visual observation, it can be used to identify based on
the level of road damage (Golov et al., 2022).
Meanwhile, to determine the condition of road damage, an IRI value of <4
means good to light damage, an IRI value of 4 - 8 means light damage, an IRI
value of 8 - 12 means light to heavy damage, and an IRI value of 12 - 16 means
heavy damage (Directorate General of Highways 2011).
The prototype ultrasonic surface roughmeter is a road surface unevenness
measuring instrument that is less expensive but also more accurate than existing
roughmeter equipment to evaluate the performance of road functions based on its
surface. While the Gap Man Working Profilometer is a measuring instrument road
surface unevenness that operation is pushed across the measured surface by one
operator, this tool is lightweight and has a choice of settings and controls that can
be selected and has an IRI measurement mode and can display calculations and
real-time display of surface profile parameters and is equipped with an integrated
GPS unit determines and stores the location of measurements and can be
connected to a USB or Bluetooth computer, which is used as a calibrator.

The rare step is to start with a survey and proceed with marking the vehicle
wheel track lane every 25 cm along 300 m at each measurement location point.
Furthermore, measurements were taken with standard measuring instruments and
also with the Prototype "Ultrasonic Surface Roughmeter" with the Gap Man
Working Profilometer measuring instrument, and the results of these
measurements were calculated and Descriptive Statistical Analysis.

Calibration Procedure
The calibration process begins with marking the path to be measured every
25 cm for 300 meters. After the marking was completed, measurements were
taken using the "Ultrasonic Surface Roughmeter" prototype and the Gap Man
Working Profilometer. Data from both tools were then analyzed to determine the
level of accuracy and consistency.

functions as input.

CONCLUSION
This research was successful and developed a prototype of the "Ultrasonic
Surface Roughmeter" as an alternative tool to measure road surface roughness
(IRI) with a high level of accuracy comparable to more expensive standard tools,
such as the Gap Man Working Profilometer. With a correlation level of 99.51%
and a Cronbach's alpha value of 1.0, this prototype showed very good internal
consistency and a confidence level of 97.05%. The average measurement
difference of 3.11% between the prototype and the standard tool was within the
acceptable error range according to previous research standards. This shows that
this prototype can be relied on as a tool for road evaluation and maintenance.
The use of economical ultrasonic sensors in this prototype allows wider
access to road roughness measurement technology in various regions, especially
in developing countries or areas with budget constraints. This prototype provides
opportunities for related parties, such as local governments and road contractors,
to adopt more cost-effective but still accurate tools in assessing road conditions.
