Setting forest road maintenance and upgrade priorities based on environmental effects and expert judgment

Creator:

Coulter, Elizabeth Dodson

Abstract:

The prioritization of road maintenance projects is an important forest engineering task subject to limited budgets and competing investment needs. Large investments are made each year to maintain and upgrade forest road networks to meet economic and environmental goals. Many models and guidelines are available for single-criterion analysis of forest...

Contemporary forest road management with economic and environmental objectives

Creator:

Thompson, Matthew P.

Abstract:

One of the basic questions facing transportation planners and road managers is how to provide and maintain a road system that provides efficient access to the forest while limiting adverse effects roads can have on water and soil resources. The purpose of this study is to develop decision support models...

Minimizing total cost of construction, maintenance, and transportation costs with computer-aided forest road design

Creator:

Akay, Abdullah Emin

Abstract:

The systems currently available for forest road design are not capable of making computer-aided design judgments such as: 1) automated generation of alternative grade lines, 2) optimizing vertical alignment, 3) minimizing total cost of construction, maintenance, and transportation costs, and 4) aiming for least environmental impacts. In recent years, advances...
