Taiwan's nationwide road network has aimed to enhance its operational efficiency by adjusting to the region's topographical and weather conditions. Selecting the appropriate asphalt concrete can ensure long-lasting pavement construction, prolong the lifespan of highways, and enhance driving safety by facilitating swift water drainage and skid resistance. This investigation gathered significant elements for assessment through factor analysis and survey techniques, and validated the obtained factors in an effort to develop a crucial performance indicator (KPI). The study's outcomes were employed to suggest a performance evaluation factor framework for asphalt concrete pavement, which may serve as a guide for related public infrastructure services during the decision-making process.
