Updating forest road networks using single photon LiDAR in northern Forest environments

Forestry: An International Journal of Forest Research, 2023
Abstract Knowledge about the condition and location of forest roads is important for forest management. Coupling accurate forest road information with planning and conservation strategies supports forest resource management. In Canada, spatial data of forestry road networks are available provincially; however, they lack spatial accuracy,

A LANDIS-II extension for simulating forest road networks

Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2023
Forest roads are an important part of forest management, both in terms of cost and impact on surrounding ecosystems. Existing tools to simulate the construction of forest roads have been designed for tactical or operational planning purposes, for relatively small areas (<10 000 ha) and small-scale topographic information.

Multilane roads extracted from the OpenStreetMap urban road network using random forests

Transactions in GIS, 2018
AbstractThe volunteered geographic information (VGI) collected in OpenStreetMap (OSM) has been used in many applications. Extracting multilane roads and establishing a high level of expressed detail play important roles in the field of automated cartographic generalization. An accurate and detailed extraction process benefits geographic analysis, urban

Forest road networks: metrics for coverage, efficiency and convenience

Australian Forestry, 2011
The topological1 aspects of forest roads are most commonly quantified only by length and road density, which are poor indicators of many aspects of the network relevant to forest managers. This paper presents three new metrics - for coverage, efficiency and convenience - and uses a case study to demonstrate their utility in assisting road network ...

ROADPLAN: A Tool for Designing Forest Road Networks

Journal of Forest Engineering, 1995
The ROADPLAN model produces a road network plan for a forest area that is being accessed for the first time. It is based on a raster geographic information system (GIS), for each cell of which the harvesting priority (based on available merchantable volume) is known and the cost of road construction can be estimated. Wood transportation cost ($/ m3.km)

Road network state estimation using random forest ensemble learning

2017 IEEE 20th International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC), 2017
Network-scale travel time prediction not only enables traffic management centers (TMC) to proactively implement traffic management strategies, but also allows travelers make informed decisions about route choices between various origins and destinations. In this paper, a random forest estimator was proposed to predict travel time in a network.

The Environment in Planning a Forest Road Network

1998
Slovenia is a small European country with varied natural characteristics. 30% of Slovenia’s total surface has a slate, tertiary or flysch basis and approximately 19% of the total surface is threatened by soil erosion. When planning the forest road network, three main groups of factors are studied: natural conditions, state of forests and existing ...
