Applicability of Computer Model of Forest Road Network Optimisation in the Real Terrain Conditions

A methodological study of forest opening has been made, which in its final phase of work and confirmation of quality was tested in two mountain management units. The model was made for two levels of building the primary forest road infrastructure: for the present openness level and for the zero openness level. According to all indicators of the forest road network efficiency, much better results were obtained by the model than the present condition of openness. Testing of the theoretical computer model of forest road network optimisation, on the terrain, was carried out for the present condition of openness and for the first opening variant. Deviations by a computer model of certain routes and their projection on the terrain from the designed forest roads were within acceptable limits and did not deviate much from the general route trend. Made project documents of forest roads showed the correspondence of designed forest roads to the prescribed technical features and the cost analysis, fitting of building costs into planned prices.
