Short description
The eGOZD project offers a web-based solution for developing forest management plans by integrating data on forest tenure, infrastructure, and public platforms. This tool aids private forest owners in planning sustainable, multifunctional management aligned with conservation guidelines. By visualizing and economically evaluating production processes, it helps owners optimize timber potential, modernize rural areas, and manage costs effectively. The plan also links to current timber prices, allowing owners to monitor forest performance and make informed decisions, including whether to manage tasks themselves or hire contractors for cost efficiency.

Short description
The forestry services market is dynamic, requiring skilled contractors to meet demand and maintain competitiveness. However, knowledge of their efficiency, social responsibility, and environmental impact is often limited. This is especially problematic during large-scale disturbances when forest owners lack information on service providers' quality and reliability. To address this, the “MojGozdar” system was developed in Slovenia. It assesses forestry contractors on three levels: formal suitability, expert evaluation, and customer ratings. The system emphasizes sustainability, corporate social responsibility, and environmental responsibility, helping forest owners connect with reliable contractors and improving service quality through user feedback.

Short description
WoodChainManager, developed by the Slovenian Forestry Institute, is a web-based tool for estimating wood supply chain costs. It offers three user modules for assessing material costs of individual machines and total costs. This tool helps optimize harvesting systems by allowing users to test the impact of different technologies on total material costs. The simple matrix-based method visualizes the entire harvesting process, providing accurate cost calculations. WoodChainManager aims to increase awareness of cost management and enable direct comparison of various harvesting systems.

Abstract

Ausgangspunkt der Berechnung sind Geländedaten (digitales Höhenmodell oder Feldmessdaten im CSV-Format), Maschinen- und Kabeltrasseneigenschaften.
Das Programm berechnet die Seilzugkräfte, den Seildurchhang und die Stützsattelkräfte. Durch die Kenntnis der Seilkräfte können kritische Konstruktionen vermieden werden. Dies erhöht die Sicherheit bei der Arbeit. Seilaplan enthält einen Optimierungsalgorithmus, der die Höhe und Lage der Stützen vorschlägt.

Die Linienführung der Seilbahn wird zusammen mit dem Geländeprofil grafisch dargestellt. Die Details der Berechnung und für die Aufstellung der Anlage können als Bericht gespeichert werden. Koordinaten und Sattelhöhe der Stützen lassen sich als CSV- und KML-Daten speichern, sodass sie für weitere Planungsschritte elektronisch bereit stehen.

Die Planung des Kabeltrassenverlaufs geht mit Seilaplan schneller als bisher.
Die berechnete Trassenführung nutzt die natürlichen Geländeformen und hilft, die Gesamtkosten für die Holzernte im Gebirge und steilem Gelände zu senken.
