Abstract

Designing of forest roads involves the performance of many specific tasks. Each of the tasks requires the expertise and the use of appropriate tools. There are many computer programs that are used for designing public roads and forest roads. This paper shows the comparerison of the existing solution, the computer program »Cesta« (Road) and the modern computer module »Trasa« (Route). Possibilities of each tool are shown and their functionality is tested on specific examples. The computer program »Cesta« is often used in Croatia and its possibilities are very well known among designers of forest roads. The paper presents the main views (situation, longitudinal profile, cross sections), and additional tools that are rarely used for designing forest roads. Deficiencies cannot be removed because the computer program »Cesta« ceased to develop, and it is, therefore, difficult to adjust to possible changes in legislation and technical requirements for forest roads. On the other hand, the computer module »Trasa« is a new tool for us that is still evolving in line with the needs of the user. The paper describes the structure and function menus required for the master/detailed design of forest roads. The working principle is explained and new solutions are presented that can make the computer module »Trasa« a potentially better solution if its design methodology is adjusted to new technologies. Designers of forest roads have always made efforts to upgrade the quality of designing forest road, trying to introduce uniformity and standardization, and it is up to them to choose an appropriate solution.
