Improving productivity in forest logging operations while reducing negative impact on soil and water streams is increasingly gaining more attention. Positioning primary extraction routes is crucial in these efforts as it has a huge impact on efficient and sustainable forwarder passages. To minimize the total forwarding distance and avoid steep terrain and impact on soil and water, a decision support system including a detailed optimization model and solution method was developed. Main information consisted of a detailed digital terrain model, depth-to-water maps and forest volume density. The information was supplemented with the extent of the stand, position of the landing(s), nature and culture conservation sites, and any known unavoidabl...
