To address the limited drainage capacity of conventional porous asphalt pavements under high-intensity rainfall, this study proposes the use of epoxy-modified bitumen to develop a large-void porous asphalt concrete (LV-PAC) with a target air void content of 25%. This approach represents a novel application of epoxy-modified bitumen to enhance permeability in porous pavement systems. The LV-PAC exhibited improved high-temperature stability, permeability, and clogging recovery capability compared with a conventional high-viscosity porous asphalt concrete (HV-PAC), though its low-temperature deformation capacity was relatively lower. All evaluated performance indicators met the required specifications, highlighting the potential of epoxy-modified bitumen for use in large-void porous pavements pending further field validation.
