The purpose of this study was to determine the quantitative time conversion relationship between indoor accelerated weathering aging (AWA) and outdoor natural aging of the high-content polymer modified asphalt (HCPMA) applied in porous asphalt pavement from both theoretical and experimental aspects. Firstly, the calculated aging acceleration rate of the AWA test was determined based on orthogonal analysis and chemical reaction kinetics. The indoor AWA test (0–12 days) and outdoor natural aging (0–12 months) were then performed on HCPMA, and the dynamic shear rheology test and multiple stress creep recovery test were conducted to investigate the rheological properties of HCPMA. Furthermore, the measured aging acceleration rate of the AWA test was determined according to rheological index comparison and then compared with the calculated aging acceleration rate to obtain the ultimate time conversion relationship between indoor and outdoor aging. Results show that it is practical to simulate the natural aging by using the AWA test. HCPMA exhibits similar changes in macroscopic rheological properties in indoor AWA and outdoor natural aging. According to the comparison of rheological indexes, the measured aging acceleration rate of HCPMA under the harshest aging condition is 57.5–120, which is basically consistent with the calculated aging acceleration rate (66) by the chemical reaction kinetics. This further demonstrates the feasibility of this study for determining the indoor-outdoor aging time conversion relationship from theoretical and experimental aspects.
