The　primary　objective　of　this　paper　is　to　select　a　suitable　index　to　characterise　the　change　law　of　asphalt　binder　fatigue　performance.　Four　asphalt　binders　were　subjected　to　RTFOT　and　PAV.　Frequency　sweep　(FS)　test,　Linear　Amplitude　Sweep　(LAS)　test,　Pure　Linear　Amplitude　Sweep　(PLAS)　test　were　performed　on　aged　asphalt　binder　to　obtain　Glower-Rowe　(G-R)　parameter,　fatigue　life　(N-f),　fatigue　resistance　energy　index　(FREI).　For　the　LAS　test,　three　methods　(Dissipated　Energy(G*sin　delta),　Complex　Modulus　(G*),　Pseudo　Strain　Energy　(PSE))　and　four　failure　criteria　(35%　G*sin　delta　(initial),　Peak　Stress　(Strain),　Peak　Stress　(Pseudo-Strain),　Max　Storage　PSE)　were　used　to　obtain　the　Nf.　The　results　showed　that　the　G-R　parameter　is　more　sensitive　to　aging.　At　high　strain　levels　(＞20%),　the　Nf　obtained　based　on　the　35%　G*sin　delta　(initial　)decreased　with　increasing　aging　time,　while　the　Nf　obtained　based　on　the　rest　of　the　failure　criteria　showed　fluctuations.　The　FREI　of　the　four　asphalt　binders　showed　the　multi-stage　linear　decrease　with　increasing　aging　time　and　the　decrease　rate　of　each　stage　was　significantly　different,　which　was　similar　to　the　cracking　path　of　conventional　materials　and　is　favourable　for　determining　the　location　of　the　inflection　points.
