With the development of society and technology, people's requirements for travel are constantly improving, resulting in increasing performance requirements of pavement materials, such as green environmental protection, high performance, high durability, safety, functionality, and more. The pavement materials that meet the above requirements are known as advanced pavement materials, and they are required to be designed on demand with predictable long-term properties. For this purpose, the multiscale characterizations of advanced pavement materials have become our concern. However, the current multiscale characterization methods still have a long way to go to solve the on-demand design and accurate performance prediction of advanced pavement materials.

As the performance of pavement materials is required to improve gradually, multi-scale characterization to realize the on-demand design and accurate performance prediction of advanced pavement materials becomes an important issue. In this Research Topic, we aim to bring together researchers in the field of multi-scale characterizations of advanced pavement materials to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the recent progress or research achievement in the field. The articles will cover experimental and theoretical investigations on the multiscale characterizations of advanced pavement materials, including pavement materials with green environmental protection, high performance, high durability, safety, functionality, etc. In addition, the multiscale characterizations consist of advanced equipment and methods.

High-quality Original Research and Review articles in the field of multi-scale characterizations of advanced pavement materials are all welcome for submission to this Research Topic. Research interests include but are not limited to the following areas:

• High performance material for future infrastructure

• Green material and carbon neutrality

• Advanced equipment and methods of material characterization

• Advanced analysis based on multiscale simulation
