Determination of the optimal density of the forest road network [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2019
The forest road network is invariably linked to forestry and logging, as it transports logging products and products needed for forestry activities. Constructing and maintaining it in good condition are essential. In view of the economic situation in the

Qualitative evaluation and optimization of forest road network to minimize total costs and environmental impacts

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2012
An efficient and low-cost transportation network is necessary for sustainable management. Roading and log skidding are the most expensive and destructive operations in forest environment, unless carefully planned and evaluated.

Temporal analysis of the traffic loads on forest road networks [PDF]

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2013
The management of forest road networks is usually influenced by the traffic generated by wood transportation. In order to analyze the distribution and intensity of traffic generated by wood transportation in an Alpine region, the study considered a 21 ...

Design of forest road network in relation to all-society functions of forests [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2004
The basic condition of forest management development is the accessibility of the forest. A design of the forest road network in relation to all-society functions of forests has been made in the catchment of the Vilčok stream. The catchment is situated in

Optimisation of forest road network under principles of functionally integrated forest management [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2003
A traditional approach to problems of the opening-up of forests has been based primarily on technical and economic aspects. It results particularly from the ground configuration and calculations of minimum costs for logging and transport operations ...

Decision making in forest road planning considering both skidding and road costs: a case study in the Hyrcanian Forest in Iran

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2013
Hyrcanian forest is the only forest designated for commercial timber production in Iran. Ground-based skidding is the most common extraction system used in the forest, though large parts of the forest are still inaccessible due to the low road density (1-

Method of designing forest road construction scenario with GIS-based calibration using sustainable forestry model

open access: yesResults in Engineering
In Japan, where planted forest resources have matured, the growing demand for harvesting work has necessitated road network expansion. To address this challenge, a model grounded in graph theory was developed to design a road network aligned with Japan's
