Multilane roads extracted from the OpenStreetMap urban road network using random forests
Transactions in GIS, 2018AbstractThe 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

A LANDIS-II extension for simulating forest road networks
Canadian Journal of Forest Research, 2023Forest 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.

ROADPLAN: A Tool for Designing Forest Road Networks
Journal of Forest Engineering, 1995The 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)

The Environment in Planning a Forest Road Network
1998Slovenia 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 ...

Forest road networks: metrics for coverage, efficiency and convenience
Australian Forestry, 2011The 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 ...

Forest road network conception
2001Un schéma de desserte est une démarche d'aménagement du territoire, ayant comme objectif principal la mobilisation optimale des bois. Pour établir une planification d'équipement en voirie forestière, outre les aspects économiques et techniques, il est nécessaire de prendre en compte les contraintes, réglementaires, physiques ou foncières et les ...

The role of forest road network in forest fire prevention and suppression: a case study in Italy
2010Good forest roads are crucial to effective forest management and protection. The accessibility provided by a suitable road network is traditionally related to forest maintenance, wood harvesting, game control and recreation activities. However, in the last years the relation between forest road network and forest fire prevention and suppression is ...
