The Superpave is the acronym for 'SUperior PERforming Asphalt PAVEments' system. It was developed by Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) to give highway engineers and contractors the tools they need to design asphalt pavements that will perform better under extremes of temperature and heavy traffic loads.

ECT Fact Sheets
With limited funds destined to highway maintenance, the need to repair and maintain highways at the lowest cost possible has created a need for cost-effective ways to rehabilitate existing pavements in preference of reconstruction. Hot-In-Place-Asphalt-Recycling is defined as a process of correcting asphalt pavement surface distress by softening the existing surface with heat, mechanically removing the pavement surface, mixing with recycling agent, possibly adding virgin asphalt and/or aggregate and replace it on the pavement without removing the recycled material from the original pavement site.
