Abstract

This report is a means to help establishing a common foundation through providing a brief summary of different themes of importance for scientists involved in the research project “Space, land and society: challenges and opportunities for production and innovation in agriculture based value chains” (AGRISPACE) funded by the Research Council of Norway. The overarching objective of AGRISPACE is to provide comprehensive knowledge on challenges and opportunities for sustainable growth in production and innovation in land-based bio-production across space.

Abstract

Cable yarding systems are commonly used in steep or difficult terrain and require suitable landing sites. This work describes two algorithms that calculate the suitability of roads and areas for landing site use. The algorithms were tested against real world data. The results show that simple algorithms are sufficient to make stable, useful estimates that are comparable with human site placements. These techniques can be used to guide forest road network planning or reuse of existing roads.
