The Fortran programs should be run on a 32-bit PC. The author would be most
thankful for any communication regarding difficulties encountered during
program execution. 1. Addresses an acknowledged deficiency in the paper "Near-optimal Location of Two Landings on Flat, Uniform Terrain". Formulas and procedures are presented to determine the optimal yarding distances and access road network for two alternative landings on a harvest unit. Greulich, F.E. (2014). " An Economic Model for Integrated Roading, Yarding and Hauling Operations on Two Alternative Harvest Unit Landings. Can. J. For. Res. XX(X):xxx-xxx." MS Excel Programs 2. The problem of optimally locating two facilities in response to the continuous uniform distribution of demand points across a complex polygonal region is addressed in this paper. The region may be partitioned into subregions each of which display different intensities of demand. Expected total transportation cost, which is to be minimized, is expressed as a quadratic function of travel distance. Two examples are presented, a simple illustrative example of the basic solution procedure being applied, and a complex example more representative of conditions surrounding a forestry related problem. Results are verified with a separately developed program and future research opportunities are explored. Greulich, F.E. (2012). "Near-optimal Location of Two Landings on Flat, Uniform Terrain" Can.
