“…This kind of approach may contribute to a "development without destruction" [17,66]. The monitoring of forest roads should be continued even after cessation of use, as their terrain may continue to undergo successive changes due to erosional processes [26]. Such an approach may limit intense and irreversible transformation of relief [67,68].…”

“…The implementation of new methods allowing determining changes on forest roads and logging roads on hillslopes with better accuracy should be one of the more important tasks in the management of forest areas. The use of LiDAR data to identify relief transformation on forest roads and logging roads allows taking a broader look at their relief evolution [23][24][25][26]. Comparison of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data allows determining changes with an accuracy of 3 mm to 10 mm [27,28].…”

“…Comparison of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) data allows determining changes with an accuracy of 3 mm to 10 mm [27,28]. However, due to the limited range, especially in mountain areas, these investigations focus on short sections of road, for example 150 m [27], 530 m [28], 100 m [29], and 684 m [26]. An analysis of forest roads over a wider area is possible with the use of aerial laser scanning (ALS) data, although the measurements are less accurate [30,31].…”

The main aim of this research was to determine the magnitude of geomorphologic changes within a section of a forest road. The research was carried out in the Lejowa Valley in the Tatra Mountains. The measurements of the surface of the road were performed using a RIEGL VZ-4000 terrestrial laser scanner (TLS). TLS models for 2017, 2018, and 2019 served as the basis for the determination of quantitative and spatial relief transformations. The net annual change on the studied road within the first period equaled −884 m3 ha−1 year−1, and for the second period −370 m3 ha−1 year−1. Changes across the accumulation fan ranged from −265 m3 ha−1 year−1 to +36 m3 ha−1 year−1. The average rate of erosion on the studied abandoned road is similar, and sometimes even greater than that on roads which are still in use. Our research shows that improper road location may lead to irreversible changes to the natural environment. The planning of a forest road must take into account natural conditions, otherwise progressive relief transformations may lead to significant surface changes and the road may be excluded from use.

“…On the other hand, therefore, so as to fulfil these functions, pavement is an important element on forest roads (Akay et al, 2018). However, land degradation and pavement deteriorates in time depending on climate factors, traffic load, maintenance works, slope degree, canopy closure and other factors (Haas, 2001;Tighe et al, 2003;Akgul et al, 2017;Akgul and Hasdemir, 2018;Gokbulak et al, 2018;Sheikh et al, 2017;Yurtseven et al, 2019). Also, pavement deterioration occurs depending on pavement surface compaction rate.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in forest road pavement bearing capacity (PBC) depending on meteorological conditions, traffic effects and horizontal curve parameters for a year on a monthly basis. Within this context, two different roads were investigated and measured with dynamic cone-penetrometer. The total number of the measurement points was 265 for traffic-restricted road (road no: 001-RN1) and 315 for open traffic road (road no: 005-RN2). In the study, three multiple regression models were developed to estimate PBC values on forest road. According to Model1, which was developed to estimate PBC values depending on vehicle traffic and on meteorological factors for alignment section of the RN2, the adjusted R 2 was found to be 0.635. In Model2 for the curve section of the RN2, the adjusted R 2 was found to be 0.711. Model3 for RN1 depending on meteorological factors demonstrated that the accuracy of PBC estimation had a high adjusted R 2 , which was 0.952. In conclusion, PBC values can be estimated at high accuracy. Furthermore, traffic load has a strong effect on PBC. On the other hand, temperature has an important negative effect on the variation in PBC on RN1.

“…Existing programs do not significantly differ from each other in terms of 3D point cloud generation performance and accuracy (Pierzchała et al, 2016). The SfM technique can produce successful models with reasonable accuracy on a variety of complex surfaces compared to terrestrial laser scanning systems (Seki et al, 2017;Akay et al, 2018;Şireli, 2019;Yurtseven et al, 2019).…”

Forest roads are necessary engineering structures for accessing and managing forestry resources. Considering the difficult terrain and its numerous variable effects, it must be ensured that the capacity of forest roads function adequately and that the road platform is suitable for vehicle traffic. This study aimed to focus on the determination and evaluation of deformation on the surface of the soil roads in the forest using SfM (Structure from Motion) technique. The study focused on the usage opportunity of close-range photogrammetry in the analysis of surface deformation on skidding roads used for forestry operations. Field surveys were conducted on a newly constructed skidding road for forestry operations with a four-wheel farm tractor. The geo-spatial location of the road was obtained by a Total Station (TS) prior to harvesting operation. A digital camera mounted on a 3.5 m high pole was used as a carrier platform in the field survey. The photographs with front and side overlaps (approximately 60% and-80%) were obtained from 95 m segment of the unpaved road. The spatial (X, Y and Z) differences between field measurements-and SfM-based models were compared using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), and the values of spatial error (SfMXY: 0.048; SfMZ: 0.010 for estimated model) were calculated. The change rate of stable, accumulations and abrasions on the road surface were calculated as 0.165%, 48.642% and 51.192%, respectively. The present study demonstrated that the use of semi-automatic measurement technique offers a promising potential for the evaluation of forest road surface deformation.
