System analysis is a point departure for the solution of modeling, optimization, control and optimum of asphalt pavement. Essentially, the system approach in this case acumulates all a-priori information, as well as obtained in laboratory experiments, test devices, and industrial installations, and enriches this information in the process of developing a complete mathematical model of the asphalt pavement. System analysis provides a scientific foundation for a consideration of the complex process at three levels: the micro-level, meso-level and the macro-level. Under these conditions the determination of the optimum composition of the feed mixture is possible only simultaneously with solving the problems of the macro-level of their subsequent treatment in order to obtain a final product with a specifed spectrum of properties (strength, stability, resistance of shock, etc.). Thus, it is possible to find an actual optimum solution only by solving a complex problem of a unifed model of the whole “life cycle” of the material being produced.
