Development of a new computer program for designing forest roads

First use of a computer program for the process of designing forest roads in Croatia was in the year 1988. It was a computer program named SILVIA (Silvae VIA) written in Quick Basic programming language and developed by forestry experts from the FA Delnice. Since 1999 for computer designing of forest roads in Croatia, software named "CESTA" (developed by a Slovenian company SoftData) has been in use. However, this program isn’t the best long term solution for designers - foresters in our country. Today in the world there are many programs that are used for forest road design, but the vast majority of them were developed primarily for the design of public, rather than forest roads. The new program is written in programming language C ++. User Interface is made at WxWidgets Opensource platform. A computer program consists of 5 units - subprograms: Main, Calc, Util, Database and Printout. Current version is composed of 7 different views that show: Horizontal Alignment, Vertical Alignment, Cross Section, Main Vertices, Cross Lines, Longitudinal Vertices, and Sketch. With the module for forest road design that is now active, possibility of new development is still open. This applies to, for forestry necessary and useful, modules such as: module for the planning of forest roads, module for maintenance and repair of forest roads, etc.
