N2  - This aim of this study is to assess the tangible benefitsof highway  projects as a case study of Thailand 10 Years Master Plan which have twelve types of highway projects.The tangible benefits of highway projects are Vehicle Operating Cost savings, Value of Time savings and Accident Cost savings.The  Quantification  of  Vehicle  Operating  Cost  savings  of  this  study  is  used  the  HDM-4 software  which  is  developed  by  World  Bank.  The  areas  to  study  are  divided  into  eight regions of Thailand and there are two types of highway as two lanes and four lanes highway. In each types of highway also divided into level terrain, rolling terrain, mountainous terrain and in each terrain alsoevaluate in the range of speed from 10 {u2013}120 kilometers per hours. The results of Vehicle Operating Cost savings show that the Vehicle Operatingcost of two lanes highway is higher than four lanes highway and the mountainous terrain also the highest value when it compare with other terrains.  The  Quantification  of  Value  of  Time  savings  of  this  study  is  calculated  by  wages  rate method. The area tostudy Value of Time savings is divided in to eight regions of Thailand. The  results  show  that  Value  of  Time  of  Bangkok  have  the  highest  value  which  is  177.93 Baht/hour and in North regions have the lowest value which is 75.29 Baht per hour.The Quantification of Accident Cost savings of this study is Human Capital Approach. The accident cost was collected by the Study of Traffic Accident Cost in Thailandwhich studied the traffic accident cost in 2007 and this study  is adjust those traffic accident cost into the current year  (2016) by  the inflation rates and apply  the current accident rates so this study can  get the accident  cost savings.  The area  to study  Accident  Cost savings  is divided into eight  regions  of  Thailand  and  in each  regions  is  divided into  three  types  of  highway  road which are two lanes highway, four lanes highway, and motorway. The results show that the Accident Cost of two lanes highway  and four lane highway  is not significant different but the Accident Cost of motorway is significant different by two lanes and four lanes highway
