We examined the possibility of improved runoff control in a porous asphalt pavement by installing beneath it an infiltration pipe with a numerical simulation model that can simulate rainfall infiltration and runoff at the porous asphalt pavement. From the results of simulations about runoff and infiltration at the porous asphalt pavement, it became clear that putting a pipe under the porous asphalt pavement had considerable effect, especially during the latter part of the rainfall.
