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.

A Spatially Explicit Method to Assess the Economic Suitability of a Forest Road Network for Timber Harvest in Steep Terrain

Forests, 2018
Despite relatively high road density in the forests of Switzerland, a large percentage of that road network does not fulfill best practice requirements. Before upgrading or rebuilding the road network, harvesting planners must first determine which areas

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 ...

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 ...

Forest road network conception

2001
Un 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 ...
