systematic way to address road failures along the designated Naval-Cabirian cross-
country route in Biliran. Three stages of a system are represented by the IPO model:
input, process, and output. Models of inputs include efforts and consumables added to
a system at the start of its lifecycle. The outcome generated by the system is modeled
as an output. As proposed by MacCuspie et al. (2014), the process is modeled as the
The initial step involves assessing the topographic area where road issues are
prevalent. Simultaneously, the condition of the road, the soil properties in the research
Following this, a consulting process is initiated with the Department of Public Works
and Highways (DPWH) Planning and Design sector to integrate insights from the
topographic assessment. Visual surveys of the area are conducted to identify road
out to gather data on traffic volume and vehicle types. In addition, a series of tests,
including the Particle Size Analysis Test, Specific Gravity Test, Atterberg Test,
Compaction Test, and California Bearing Ratio Test, are executed to analyze soil
properties.
The synthesis of information from the DPWH consultation, visual surveys, area
Recommendations. This final stage represents the strategic formulation of plans and
suggestions to enhance the road, considering the interplay between topography, road
condition, soil characteristics, and the dynamic traffic profile. The goal is to propose
effective measures that ensure the road's stability, safety, and efficiency in meeting the
