Roads connect cities to cities. Usability of them usually presents level of economic development for the cities. The research objective is to evaluate economic benefit for the project of road flatness improvement in Taipei City. Investigating literature facilitates understanding of the project itself, followed by data collection and basic analysis. The analysis establishes the framework, parameter settings, and function behaviors of the economic assessment model. The model consists of a mathematic function including safety, environmental impact, and motorist economy aspects. A case study containing comprehensive data of a road section, to which road flatness improvement has been applied, is adopted to implement and evaluate the economic assessment model. The result shows that it is not beneficial since the B/C ratio is 0.65 less than 1. The major suggestion for future studies lies in wider considerations for other quantifiable aspects that may represent the reality more so as to improve the proposed model.
