TRAF - New Software for Skylines Design for Forest Purposes

Abstract

The construction and exploitation of skylines used in forest operations represent a complex activity because the involved tasks must consider some great mathematical knowledge, as well as optimization skills. This is one of the many reasons for which the skylines usage in Romanian forests encountered a regress in the last period. Also, empirical approaches in the skylines design process may lead to poor technical solutions with repercussions both on work safety as well as on the installation maintenance. Thus, the present paper presents both the usage and tasks which can be solved using the first version of the software product “TRAF”, a software solution to the above-mentioned problems.
