Assessment of forest road network alternatives in forest harvesting activity
IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2022 Abstract One of timber harvesting purposes is moving wood from the forest to sawmills. Road network planning requires consideration for alternatives. This paper purposed to determine decision-making in the selection of alternative road networks with utility analysis by considering economic, ecological, and social criteria.

Optimization of a forest road network.
Netherlands Journal of Agricultural Science, 1985 A new planning model was developed that does not specify parallel road networks as in existing models (e.g. Larsson's). The new model, based on the 'travelling salesman' algorithm, consists of 2 complementary models for flat and broken terrain which are reproduced in the synopsis together with Larsson's model.
