AbstractProject evaluation is an important step for implementation of any project because it can affect the allocation of resources. Initially, project evaluation focused on the measurable items. The project evaluation methodology of which provide an economic efficiency and consistency result is considerably sufficient. The recognition of the social impact known as the externality, recall the researchers to develop the new methodology in order to incorporate such the effect. This research had developed the existing Benefit Incidence Matrix (BIM) by incorporating the land use, traffic accident, environmental quality to the transportation benefit and apply to the Chaeng Wattana-Bang Poon-Bang Sai Expressway project. The most important stage for applying the Benefit Incidence Matrix are~ identification of the people who will be affected from the project, specification and methodology for estimation. The final results will be presented in the Benefit Incidence Matrix, which is the comprehensive information related to the group of people, who gain or loss due to the project. The result from the numerical study indicates that traffic accident is a very important items for the transportation project evaluation. In the Chaeng Wattana-Bang Poon-Bang Sai Expressway project, the traffic accident reduction shares almost 5,000 million Baht or approximately 20 % of the social net benefit. Where as, the project generates more transport demand affects a lot to the fuel consumption and lead to the deterioration in environmental quality. The land owners, only one agent, can enjoy the project's benefits, because almost all of the other agent's benefit is transfer to the land owner though the increasing in the land price. Based on this result, it' s clear that some policies or instrnment of which the project benefit will be handled to all group of the people are required.
