R Roads are very important for land transportation which can have an influence onthe economy, social, cultural and political in an area, but road pavements havedecreased in condition along with the repetition of loads, including due to overload,to find out the condition of the road, it is necessary to have a survey of roadconditions. This research was carried out on the national road of West SeramIsland, Maluku, an arterial road on the Sp. Waipirit - Sp. Eti road section in thelightly damaged category, km. 00+000 - 02+000, and the severely damagedcategory km 02+000 - 03+433, the Waiselan-Latu section is lightly damaged in km.00+000 - 02+000. The purpose of this study is to find out the comparison of thesurvey of road pavement conditions carried out with 100% visual PCI and SDI, andthe results of the survey with the Nassra Roughness Meter, as well as each of itsadvantages. The PCI method has nineteen parameters, SDI four parameters, thesetwo methods have much different parameters, therefore if the PCI nineteenparameters are adjusted to the four-parameter SDI, which becomes the PCInineteen parameters of the four-parameter PCI version, which is suitable for timeand energy efficiency. The results of the visual research method on the Sp. Waipirit- Sp. Eti road section are lightly damaged, PCI = (87.65), SDI = (18.23). The Sp.Waipirit - Sp. Eti road section is heavily damaged PCI = (30.04), SDI = (18.05).The Waiselan-Latu road section is lightly damaged PCI = (88.33), SDI = (15.33).The visual methods of PCI and SDI applied in the field without the need for specialequipment in obtaining road damage data, obtaining practical, accurate,comprehensive data, without skipping, without requiring large costs. The fourparameter PCI can be applied to road conditions with a lightly damaged category,and cannot be applied to road conditions with a severely damaged category.
