“…From this point of view, the existing literature shows that there are many factors that cause premature pavement damage due to the phenomenon of vehicle overload (most of them are trucks, tow trucks, and semi-trailers [3,4] problem analysis was also carried out using various types of methods adapted to the conditions of the study area and the supporting equipment available in the city or country concerned (interview/questionnaire [28,49] simulated traffic movements [44] visual observations with weighbridges or WIM motion sensors [30,38] or track data from GPS [57,70,77]. Apart from that, decision/policy making really needs to be done, one of which is for the sustainability of road transportation [53] and smart transportation innovation [54]. This innovation is possible because many big cities in the world have invested in and recognized the concept of smart tourism cities and strategies relate to optimizing a sustainable environment [50].…”

Batu City, a premier tourist destination in Indonesia, has experienced a significant influx of tourists, leading to an upsurge in vehicular traffic. This increase in vehicular load has precipitated premature deterioration of the city's road pavements. A systematic approach to addressing this degradation is imperative for the refinement of road planning strategies, tailored to the pavement's lifespan, and for the development of a holistic road construction policy that aligns with the actual traffic load. This study employs a systematic literature review (SLR) to investigate the effects of vehicle overloading on the structural longevity of road pavements in Batu City. A keyword-driven search was conducted, resulting in the selection of 50 pertinent articles which were scrutinized to determine the extent of the impact that overloaded vehicles have on road infrastructure within tourist-heavy urban centers and to identify effective management solutions. The findings from the SLR indicate that excessive vehicle axle loads, or the presence of cities with high vehicular traffic, considerably expedite pavement damage and diminish the structural lifespan, as supported by evidence from 48% of the analyzed journals. These insights have practical implications for the assessment of road geometric designs, the examination of construction techniques and materials, and the formulation of models or policies that are congruent with the functional requirements of the city.
