<br/><br/> This researchsummarizes the assessment of the parameters that could play important role in terms of affecting the vehicle operating cost. For this case six indices are selected that are speed, number of lanes, fuel costs, annual average daily traffic, vehicle prices and roughness. Criteria defining the economic aspects of road users have been discussed. A review of studies onthe indices affecting the road user costs along with their findings has been presented. It is observed  that not  all  the  indices  have  effect  on  the  operating costs  of  vehicles. The  study includes  all  the possible  data  that  could  be  collected  within  limited  timeframe  fromthe present  scenario of  Thailand  so  that  the  analysisresults  could  make  some  specific  sense. Study includes the use of key software HDM-4 torun the analysis. The analysis results and interpretation of the results are carried out in Microsoft excel.Figures and graphs are plotted based on the analysisresultsgained from the software.
