The　cracking　resistance　of　asphalt　pavement　is　significantly　affected　by　the　aging　of　asphalt　binder.　A　better　understanding　of　the　effect　of　aging　on　the　cracking　resistance　of　virgin　asphalt　binders　can　help　to　determine　the　optimum　maintenance　time.　In　this　study,　the　rolling　thin　film　oven　test　(RTFOT)　and　pressure　aging　vessel　(PAV)　test　were　conducted　to　simulate　short-term　aging　and　long-term　aging　of　asphalt　binders,　respectively.　Frequency　sweep　tests　were　conducted　on　two　asphalt　binders　at　different　aging　conditions.　The　Glover-Rowe　(G-R)　parameter,　stiffness　modulus　(S),　creep　rate　(m),　continuous　grading　temperature　(Tc),　critical　temperature　difference　(ΔTc),　relaxation　time　(λ),　dissipation　energy　ratio　(Wd/Ws),　low-temperature　indicator　ratio　(m/S),　low-temperature　comprehensive　compliance　parameter　(Jc)　were　obtained.　Meanwhile,　the　sensitivities　of　different　indicators　to　aging　were　analyzed　and　the　correlations　between　G-R　parameter　and　various　low-temperature　indicators　were　discussed.　Subsequently,　a　nonlinear　model　of　asphalt　binder　aging　was　established　by　a　rheological　indicator.　The　results　showed　that　aging　had　a　significant　impact　on　the　low-temperature　properties　of　asphalt　binder.　G-R　parameter,　Tc,　λ　increased　with　the　growth　of　aging　severity,　whereas　m,　ΔTc,　Wd/Ws　were　contrary　to　this　trend.　S,　m/S,　Jc　had　no　significant　relationship　with　the　degree　of　aging.　Moreover,　G-R　parameter　and　ΔTc　were　very　sensitive　to　aging.　The　G-R　parameter　had　a　good　correlation　with　m,　Tc,　λ,　ΔTc　and　Wd/Ws,　respectively.　It　indicated　that　G-R　parameter　was　closely　related　to　the　low-temperature　properties　of　asphalt　binders.　The　aging　nonlinear　model　containing　G-R　parameter　could　exactly　describe　the　aging　evolution　of　virgin　asphalt　binder.　It　is　helpful　for　the　prediction　of　cracking　resistance　of　asphalt　binder　and　determination　of　maintenance　plan.　©　2023　Elsevier　Ltd
