Road network analysis for timber transportation from a harvesting site to mills (Case study: Gorgan county – Iran)
نویسندگان
چکیده
We summarized the results of the Road Network Analysis (RNA), when the shortest path to reduce travel time in the Gorgan city public road network, in Iran, was evaluated. The main objective was to determine whether by using a GIS-based new route approach it is possible to determine the shortest path from logging site to destination (mills). The results showed that by using the concept of travel time as a measure of the importance of nodes, the shortest path from origin to destination was found. A path with minimum links and lengths as well as maximum vehicle speed is the best. This dramatically reduced the search complexity in terms of routing.

The network designed is hierarchical in the sense...
متن کاملOff road transportation cost calculations for ground based forest harvesting systems
Ground based systems are the main approach used for off-road timber transportation throughout the world. Estimates of terrain transportation costs are required for several forest planning problems and for assessment of harvesting contracts and forest land values. Methods for these calculations can be categorized into two groups. Methods based on average transportation distance predate computers...

متن کاملIdentification of suitable sites for subsurface flow harvesting using underground dam (Case study: Border basins of Torbat-e-Jam County)
Every year, large amounts of the country's water resources leave the country through political borders. Subsurface water is part of these resources that flows on the dry bed of rivers and becomes inaccessible without proper exploitation. Since Iran has many common borders with neighboring countries, it is necessary to pay attention to this issue. One of the appropriate solutions to prevent the ...
