The article examines the use of antiskid sensor to gain maximum trailed load.Skidding means slip wheels a vehicle (tram, railway carriage) along bearing surface (road, rails) where linear speed wheel is lower than towards vehicle.
 occurs during braking. It caused by excess braking force over traction with surface. Skidding rail vehicles leads wear-out locked in place their contact and fla...

The development of the forestry complex, its technical equipment, increase in volume harvested wood Republic Belarus, as well increased competition timber market have become prerequisites for need to study issues field optimizing transport processes and ensuring rhythm logging production. Moving operations cutting area, including collection loading timber, their sorting skidding, formation stac...

The objective of this review is to compare the cost of coppice and longer rotation poplar harvesting technology. Harvesting technology for short rotation poplar has evolved over the years to address both coppice harvest and single-stem harvest systems. Two potential approaches for coppice harvesting are modified forage harvesters and modified mulcher-balers. Both of these systems effectively ha...

Tree species and litter play a key role in the functioning of forest ecosystems as influential factors affecting soil ecological processes distribution humus forms. This study investigates morphology under different trees on compacted skid trails at time intervals after skidding operations (6, 10, 20 years) Kheyrud forest, Nowshahr. Each trail was identified with three replications pure beech, ...

estimating of forest equipment productivity is an important aspect of managing cost in forestry, which leads to reduction of operations expenses. in other words, high capital cost in forest harvesting, is a good reason to argue forest engineering research and time modeling. this paper applied one of the artificial intelligence subsets, which are called artificial neural networks (anns), to pred...

OBJECTIVES This article compares 2 variants of logging technologies at the motor-manual level: variant A - cutting and delimbing by means of a petrol chainsaw, skidding with the use of a cable winch mounted on a tractor (67-74 kW); variant B - cutting by means of a petrol chainsaw, skidding, debranching and cutting to length by means of a processor aggregated with a farm tractor (61 kW). MATE...

Partial cutting is thought to be an alternative to achieve sustainable management in boreal forests. However, the effects of intermediate harvest intensity (45%–80%) on growth remain unknown in black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) stands, one of the most widely distributed boreal species with great commercial interest. In this study, we analysed the effect of three experimental shelterwo...

Skid resistance and road condition are common indices of road safety; therefore providing adequate skidding resistance will reduce the incidence of road accidents. The surface macrotexture has a large effect on the characteristics of road surface skidding, which is the focus of this research. During the study, the mean texture depth of the road surface was measured, in order to determine the co...
