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).
