Road design has historically not been done in the flatter-terrain resource markets; however, as LiDAR-use is increasing, the designing roads starts to make a lot more sense. Engineering roads (especially with LiDAR) makes it easier to consider geometry, drainage, earthwork volumes, disturbance areas and more… It also allows for easier estimation of road-building activities, improved communication and documentation.
Here we presented an improved approach to designing forestry roads with LiDAR data.
