This paper examines various control locations in heavy mining vehicles. Three trucks have been tested on a skid pad in both clockwise and anticlockwise directions. The skid lengths were measured after each trial. The primary focus of the study was the positioning of various controls and their relevance to various skid lengths. Some additional measures such as NASA-TLX scales were also used to m...

selection cutting using skidding system often causes physical damage to residual stand through felling and skidding resulting decline of bole quality and tree value. this research evaluated logging damage using skidding system on residual trees and stand regeneration in uneven aged hardwood forest of asalem, were selection cutting was practiced. in this regard, systematic sampling method was us...

Cut-to-length (CTL) timber harvesting technology currently accounts for approximately 90% of Caspian forests. The technology involves felling, branching, cross-cutting, and then the skidder carries the logs to a landing, where the timber is temporarily stored, sorted and assembled for transportation to the mill. Cut-to-length systems typically require less labor, less access road construction, ...

In this paper, I explore the application of various random sampling based algorithms to dynamic models of bicycles. Starting with relatively simple 3-dimensional state space models of bicycle and working up to a more realistic 7dimensional model that incorporates skidding, I examine RRT, RG-RRT, RRT*, and LQR-RRT*.

Skidding in peat swamp plantation forest requires high skill and alertness, particularly relation to damage, which includes subsidence as such a damage. The objective of this research is analyze the effect skidding operator’s on productivity, cost forest. method comprised operation conducted by two different operators with working experience, followed measuring average productivity cost, elevat...
