Abstract: 
In this work, we study the Asanov Finsler metric F=α(&beta;2/α2+/α+1)1/2exp{(G/2)arctan[&beta;/()+G/2]}, where α=(&alpha;ijyiyj)1/2 is a Riemannian metric and &beta;=biyj is a 1-form, g∈(−2,2), h=(1−g2/4)1/2, G=g/h. We give the necessary and sufficient condition for Asanov metric to be locally projectively flat, i.e., α is projectively flat and &beta; is parallel with respect to α. Moreover, we proved that the douglas tensor of Asanov Finsler metric vanishes if and only if &beta; is parallel with respect to α.
