Currently, in Russia and abroad, many works are devoted to the study of design methods in the plan. Proposed several methods for alignment design of forest roads using information technologies, different objectives, ways of their solution, the nature of the geometric representation of the route and other features. The article discusses the main methods of designing logging roads based on the calculation of a uniquely defined route, which allows us to conclude that tracing is the most important stage of design and survey work, since it is the position of the route that determines the main technical and economic indicators of the projected road. This makes it necessary and expedient to conduct research and improve the technology and methods of computer-aided design of the route of logging roads using modern information technologies based on materials obtained from unmanned aerial vehicles or large-scale topographic plans in coordinates. Also, tracing methods should be linked to the accepted design technology. In turn, the choice of method and technology may depend on the specific features of the projected object: natural conditions, design stage, availability of topographic materials, etc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
