The spatial and heuristic road locating procedure developed in an earlier study (161 has been improved and integrated using microcomputers. Further appli- cations and results of testing the procedure using the same data are presented. The improved procedure proved to be beneficial in helping forest road plan- ning managers evaluate alternatives and hence se- lect the optimal location for a road network. It con- tains a heuristic algorithm capable of locating forest roads so as to minimise the total costs and impacts of road construction, wood extraction, and wood trans- port.

... Tan (2000) developed a procedure where DP was used to help road managers in determining the optimum location for a forest road section. Costing and routing of road construction, extraction, and transportation were predetermined in a separate module using microcomputer-based spatial database and heuristic procedure using shortest path (Tan 1999). In this DP procedure, the road planning area was divided into zones (stages) of equal width. ...
