Improving drainage conditions of forest roads using the GIS and forest road simulator [PDF]
Journal of Forest Science, 2020 In this study a new method of locating culverts is presented with the composition of achieved discharge from hydrological analysis and simulated forest roads in RoadEng 3D simulator to improve drainage condition. Locating culverts was performed on a small scale (1:20 000, using GIS) and large scale (1:2 000, road geometric design simulator).

Wood in the Construction of Forest Roads on Poor-bearing Road Subgrades [PDF]
Forests, 2020 The use of wood for road construction in biologically valuable areas seems to be a good alternative to solutions based on less ecologically-friendly materials. The key issue is the durability of the wood in specific conditions of use, i.e., in the substrate of the actual road.
