        abstract = {Roads that have been functioned are in good condition, slightly damaged, moderately damaged, and heavily damaged, therefore road maintenance is needed. Road maintenance uses costs, and the available costs are often insufficient to carry out road repairs as a whole, so it is necessary to determine the priority scale of road repairs. The condition of road surfaces plays a crucial role in the overall performance and safety of road networks. Two widely adopted methods for evaluating road surface damage levels are the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and the Surface Distress Index (SDI). This study aims to conduct a comparative analysis between these two methods, highlighting their efficiency, reliability, and suitability for various types of road networks. The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is a comprehensive method that assesses pavement condition based on detailed surveys of visible surface distress, including cracks, potholes, and raveling. In contrast, the Surface Distress Index (SDI) is more focused on quantifying surface distress types that are directly observable, with fewer parameters involved in its calculation compared to PCI.},
