- Abstract
The article provides information on a study which addressed integrated tactical planning of tree harvesting, timber transportation, and forest road building with the possibility of economies of scale (EOS) in road construction activities. Topics discussed include benefits of EOS in road construction, and importance of exploring the potential cost savings as the result of implementing the notion of EOS in building roads and evaluating how that might influence the transportation planning.
