Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of road engineering, and specifically to a method for evaluating the comprehensive performance of phase change asphalt pavement based on combined weights. Background Technology
[0002] Phase change asphalt pavement incorporates phase change materials into asphalt to regulate the pavement temperature field, showing broad application prospects in mitigating high-temperature rutting, suppressing low-temperature cracking, and improving road service performance. However, the performance of phase change asphalt pavement depends not only on traditional mechanical properties but also on various thermophysical parameters such as latent heat utilization efficiency, thermal stability, and thermal conductivity, exhibiting a clear multi-index coupling characteristic in its comprehensive performance.
[0003] Existing performance evaluation methods for phase change asphalt pavements often employ single-index or fixed-weight comprehensive evaluation methods. Index weights are frequently determined based on experience, resulting in strong subjectivity and difficulty in fully reflecting the actual contribution of different indicators to the overall pavement performance. Conversely, weighting methods based solely on objective data may overlook the importance placed on key performance aspects in engineering practice, leading to inconsistencies between evaluation results and engineering understanding. Therefore, a comprehensive performance evaluation method that integrates subjective perception with objective data is urgently needed. Summary of the Invention
