This research studied a new material named modified infrared powder (MIRP) for decreasing the high temperature of asphalt pavements which can help alleviate the urban heat island effect to some extent. Based on the physical apparent density tests of materials and infrared thermal radiation test, the cooling performance of MIRP was obtained. X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy test (SEM) were conducted to analyze the chemical composition and the microstructure of MIRP, respectively. According to the radiant heat transfer theory, a thermal radiation model of the pavement equilibrium temperature was established by microscopic and chemical analysis to study the influence of thermal radiation asphalt mixture and reveal its cooling performance. The results show that the main components of MIRP are metal oxides and nonmetallic oxides which improve its infrared emissivity. Compared with limestone mineral powder asphalt mortar, the asphalt mortar with MIRP had a more compact structure and uniform distribution, and enhanced the overall structural performance of the mixture. The thermal radiation model reveals that the pavement equilibrium temperature combined with the MIRP in asphalt mixture decreases with the increase of the longwave emissivity, and it diminishes with the decrease of the shortwave absorptivity.
