Abstract
Roadway as part of land transportation is very important to actualize human or commodity movements. Roadway should be able to show good performance. It is known that inundation at roadway is very serious problem, and often causes disruption to road users. Conventional drainage system that has been applied with the concept of discharging or draining water to the drainage channel has not been able to evade rain water that falls on the road surface. To date, the load of drainage channel is increasing. This is contributed by the decrease of the drainage function in order to flow water through the channel. To overcome the problem, a new concept of drainage is introduced. This study aims to develop a good highway drainage system by increasing the ability to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of the drainage system.
