Abstract

In the research conducted by the writer, the aim is to examine the thickness of the road using flexible pavement method, identifying the layers that is going to be used in the planning of the road using flexible pavement method and finding out the volume of the material that will be used for planning the flexible pavement road on Diponegoro Road (Sei Harapan Crossroad – Basecamp Batu Aji Crossroad), Batam City. The road often experiences traffic jams due to heavy vehicles breaking down so a new pathway will be made to solve the problems. Therefore, the authors will use the component analysis method to plan the new pathway.
