  • Predicting skidder productivity : a mobility approach

    Creator:
    Gibbons, Daniel J.
    Abstract:
    The principles of mobility are applied to the forest setting to simulate the movement of logs with a rubber tired-skidder. A computer program was written to perform the analysis . Vehicle-terrain and logterrain interactions are the resistances which must be overcome by the available vehicle power. The rate at which...

  • LOGCOST a harvest cost model for southwestern Idaho

    Creator:
    Giles, Robert Steven
    Abstract:
    LOCCOST is an interactive computer program that predicts stump to mill logging costs, stumpage and net present value of a harvest based on stand data, pond value and logging parameters, entered by the user. The program is intended for use by foresters to evaluate the economics of different stand management...

  • Incorporating Uncertainty in Truckload Relay Network Design

    Creator:
    Mokhtari, Zahra
    Abstract:
    In a relay network for full truckload (TL) transportation, facilities known as relay points (RPs) serve as exchange points where truck drivers can exchange trailers. This would help carriers to assign more regular tours to drivers when compared to the excessively long tours that exist in the traditional Point-to-Point (PtP)...

  • Modeling biomass transport on single lane forest roads and monitoring GPS accuracy for vehicle tracking under different forest canopy conditions

    Creator:
    Simwanda, Matamyo
    Abstract:
    The transportation of wood and biomass resources from landing and other collection locations to processing and distribution sites is a substantial cost within the wood supply chain. These high costs provide a basis for research aimed at improving biomass transportation planning decisions and potentially reducing biomass transportation costs. Chip vans...

  • Estimating impacts of a vehicle mile tax on Oregon households

    Creator:
    Nakahara, Kyle S.
    Abstract:
    Oregon’s gasoline tax no longer serves as an economically efficient revenue source due to increasing fuel efficiency and the emergence of alternative fuels. In response to this problem, the Oregon Department of Transportation is exploring alternatives to the gasoline tax. Among the most promising alternatives is a flat-rate vehicle mile...
