In order to improve the operational life of highway asphalt pavements, reduce urban traffic safety accidents, and improve pavement travelling comfort, this paper analyze the frequency of different highway asphalt pavement distresses and calculates the percentage of each other based on highway asphalt pavement data sets in Shandong. The results showed that the five types of highway asphalt pavement distresses including alligator cracks, longitudinal cracks, transverse cracks, sealed cracks and patches occur with high frequency and account for 96.2% of the total proportion. For revealing the coupling principle between different highway asphalt pavement distress, this paper analyze the correlation between the five types of highway asphalt pavement distresses by Spearman correlation coefficient. The results showed that alligator cracks have a higher positive correlation with transverse cracks and longitudinal cracks and sealed cracks have a negative correlation with transverse cracks. The research findings are helpful to understand the characteristics of pavement distress conditions more clearly and to optimize he level of service of asphalt pavements on urban roads.
