Abstract This paper deals with transportation infrastructures. It focuses on the estimate of benefits and costs (agency, user and environmental externalities) deriving from the application of the following main concepts (dilemmas): (i) transition towards pervious pavements, (ii) ‘hyper-’monitoring tendency (continuous monitoring of pavement structural condition), (iii) reinforcement tendency (increase of the expected life of a pavement due to reinforcement) and (iv) ‘hyper-’recycling tendency (high percentage of recycling in road pavements). A method is set up. Consequences in terms of the present value of the assets costs are estimated.
