RIGHT PADDLE REPAIR METHODS FOR IMPROVING TRAFFIC SAFETY AT TRAIN RAILWAY TRACKS

Abstract

Problems that often occur at level crossings with railroads are the high number of traffic
accidents, namely accidents between trains and vehicles, two-wheeled vehicles that fall due
to inadequate railroad infrastructure, and the condition of road pavements at level crossings
that are not stable. This study is focused on handling pavement damage at railroad
crossings, especially at the JPL 67 location, which is located on the East Java Province
road, UPT area. Road and Bridge Management (PJJ) Surabaya, namely Jalan Departemen
Krian –Mojokerto Regency (link. 153) Km. 30. At the level crossing of JPL 67, two-wheeled
motor vehicle accidents often occur. There is a significant difference in elevation between
the highway and the railroad, causing damage to the pavement. The problem is tried to be
overcome by conducting a study by UPT. PJJ Surabaya. This study aims to obtain the right
road handling method according to the character of the load on level crossings, namely
dynamic loads on train vibrations. Several road handlings trials have been carried out from
January 2022 to June 2022, using several pavement materials. The study found that CTB
with a cement composition can make the pavement at level crossings last longer.
