Forest Roads Mapped Using LiDAR in Steep Forested Terrain [PDF]
Remote Sensing, 2010 LiDAR-derived digital elevation models can reveal road networks located beneath dense forest canopy. This study tests the accuracy of forest road characteristics mapped using LiDAR in the Santa Cruz Mountains, CA. The position, gradient, and total length

Impact of traffic characteristics on forest roads due to forest managemen
Croatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2005 Traffic load and transported quantity due to forest management were analysed on the forest roads in the forest district Dragatuš, SE Slovenia. On the basis of timber gravitating to particular sections, the traffic load and transported quantity were ...

Planning Forest Opening with Forest Roads
Croatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2013 The article presents the model for determining inaccessible forest areas by density of forest roads. The model is based on the GIS analysis of the distances between the existing network of public and forest roads and inaccessible forest areas, sizes of ...

Forest road planning considering road and skidding costs (Case study: Kheyrud Forest) [PDF]
مجله جنگل ایران, 2011 Hyrcanian forests are the only forests designated for commercial timber production inIran. Ground-based skidding is the most common timber harvesting system used in these forests, but due to low road density (1-2m/ha), large parts of the forests are ...
