This paper presents the methods for determining the design temperatures of the road surface required for selecting the designation of the grade of bitumen binder PG X±Y in the Superpave method, which has become widespread in the world road construction for the design of asphalt concrete compositions. Taking as a basis the design models developed in the USA within the framework of the Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) research program, using a computer program, the maximum and minimum design temperatures with 98% reliability for populated areas of the Republic of Armenia were obtained.
