A Timber Extraction Method Based On Pavement Serviceability and Forest Inventory Data

摘要

A methodology for integrating pavement classification and forest inventory data to determine the capability of forest access roads with weak subgrades to support timber extraction is described. GPS location data recorded in stand-alone mode was superimposed on forest and Ordnance Survey maps. Within a GIS, the acquired spatial data was manipulated and integrated with pavement Attribute information and the current and projected forest inventory data.
