GIS-Based Decision-Support Program for Planning and Analyzing Short-Wood Transport in Russia

چکیده
Nacrtak Extraction of short-wood from harvesting operations is becoming common practice in Russia. Logging companies are faced with a large number of options for short-wood transport, but they have limited knowledge of logistics potential. Developed GIS-based decision support program is a unique tool assisting logging companies in making comprehensive decisions on organizational options for the most suitable short-wood transport. Application of the program allows to increase efficiency when introducing cut-to-length technology in Northwest Russia, decrease wood transport costs and improve utilization of short-wood truck fleet. Testing of the program and comparison of alternative delivery plans show that the efficiency of short-wood transport can be increased by 40%. This program could also be used for other applications, such as road planning, fuel supply or logistics in silviculture, and also provides an excellent opportunity to convey knowledge gained through research to the companies in a clear and practical way.
