Parameters of optimization of transfer operations of the harvesting process

Abstract

The development of the forestry complex, its technical equipment, the increase in the volume of harvested wood in the Republic of Belarus, as well as increased competition in the timber market have become prerequisites for the need to study issues in the field of optimizing transport processes and ensuring the rhythm of logging production. Moving operations in the cutting area, including the collection and loading of timber, their sorting and skidding, the formation of stacks in an intermediate warehouse, are the most labor-intensive in logging production. In turn, the effectiveness of these operations largely depends on the optimal placement of technological elements in the cutting area and their geometric parameters. Among the ways to improve the efficiency of the development of the forest fund, one can single out the solution of the problem of optimizing the relocation operations of logging production, for which it is necessary to determine the appropriate parameters and restrictions.
