Comparing optimal and actual forest road locations using least-cost analysis in QGIS
(2022)For the Lakehead Forest licence, west of Thunder Bay, Ontario, a least-cost roads model was built in QGIS using provincial Digital Elevation Model (PDEM) data, and data provided by Greenmantle. A cost-surface was also ... -
Exploring the potential to minimize forest road cost in Ontario with LiDAR and RoadENG
(2019)The objective of this study was to determine if light detection and ranging (LiDAR) and RoadENG could produce a more cost-effective road design than a field-based road design. A Triangulated irregular network (TIN) was ... -
Forest road location modelling with Dijkstra’s shortest path and ArcGIS
(2019)Road network modelling has great potential to reduce forest road construction and planning costs. Forest roads are the essential means to access forest resources and are one of the most expensive factors in forest ...
