Calibration factors for polymer-modified asphalts (PMAs) in M-E based (Mechanistic-Empirical) pavement design, like the MEPDG, adjust distress models (rutting, fatigue, thermal cracking) for PMA's superior performance (enhanced durability, rutting/fatigue resistance) compared to conventional asphalt, requiring specific calibration coefficients for accurate prediction of longer service lives and improved pavement performance, often detailed in Asphalt Institute Engineering Reports like ER-235.
