This study aimed to develop models assessing 26 machine-learning algorithms in regression analysis to predict the properties of terminal blend crumb rubber-modified bitumen (TB-CRMB) made with crosslinking additives.

Results showed that the Matern 5/2 Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) model demonstrated efficient performance in predicting physical, viscoelastic, rutting, and fatigue properties whereas wide artificial neural networks exhibited enhanced accuracy in predicting storage stability and rotational viscosity.
