Investigation of Recreational Vehicles Maneuverability on Forest Roads by Computer-Aided Driving Analysis
Forest road planning is a time-consuming and complicated process both because it requires environment-friendly road building, and due to the requirement to observe economic costs. This costs will be increase depending on maneuverability requirements of vehicle dimension. The main aim of this study i...

Forest road planning is a time-consuming and complicated process both because it requires environment-friendly road building, and due to the requirement to observe economic costs.
