Improving traffic capacity and vehicle speed is no longer the main focus in transportation because of developments of technology and awareness of the citizens. Therefore, transportation's focus has been changing to solve social and environmental phenomena, such as noise and accident reduction and disaster prevention. One of new solutions that solves transportation problems is porous asphalt concrete pavement that can reduce highway noise and accident in wet condition. This research evaluated the economic characteristics of porous asphalt pavements by selecting associated safe and environmental variables. Also, The research conducted economic analysis between porous pavements and traditional pavements. The results show economic benefits of porous pavements.
