Pavement crack measurement (PCM) is essential for automated, precise road condition assessment. However, balancing speed and accuracy on edge artificial intelligence (AI) mobile devices remains challenging. This paper proposes a real‐time PCM framework for edge deployment, incorporating a lightweight distillation network and a surface feature measurement algorithm. Specifically, the proposed instance‐aware hybrid distillation module combines feature‐based and relation‐based knowledge distillation, leveraging crack instance‐related information for efficient knowledge transfer from teacher to student networks, which results in a more accurate and lightweight segmentation model. Additionally, a real‐time crack surface feature measurement algorithm, based on distance mapping relationships and crack edge coordinate extraction, addresses issues with crack edge branching and loss, enhancing measurement efficiency. Real‐time measurement was performed on actual roads utilizing mobile robot equipped with an edge computing unit. The crack segmentation precision reached 84.37%, with a frame per second of 77.72. Compared to the ground truth, the relative error for average crack width ranged from 6.42% to 40.65%, while the relative error for crack length varied between 1.48% and 3.76%. These findings highlight the feasibility of real‐time crack assessment and save road maintenance costs.

... Over the past decade (2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020)(2021)(2022)(2023), the road transportation industry in China has developed rapidly, with the total length of road mileage increasing from 4.35 million kilometers to over 5.43 million kilometers. Among this, expressways now extend over 180,000 km, comprising 3.4% of the total length of road mileage (Gao et al. 2025). Alongside the growth in highway mileage, the traffic environment characterized by long service life and heavy loads has placed higher performance demands on highway construction. ...

... Early applications by Chang and Meegoda (1997) have been expanded with advanced computational techniques, allowing DEM to effectively model the internal structural performance of asphalt mixtures. Its adoption reflects its ability to simulate significant deformations and fractures, crucial for addressing the discrete and heterogeneous nature of asphalt materials (Jianzhong et al., 2023;Wan et al., 2024;Zhao et al., 2023), while employing straightforward constitutive laws Yi et al., 2021). Despite its strengths, current DEMbased crack models for asphalt mixture present several limitations that are the focus of ongoing research. ...
