Forest Road Analysis
Accurate mapping and condition assessment for safe and efficient forest operations.
Support operations with reliable access to forest
Arbonaut produces detailed forest road intelligence using LiDAR and AI to support accessibility and informed operational decisions. The analysis grants a consistent view of road condition and upkeep needs, helping prioritize actions and reduce reliance on time consuming field visits.
Patent-pending road analysis methodology
Proven approach across large-scale forest road networks
Road classification for immediate decision-making
Automated detection of road structure and geometry
Better roads start with better information
Typical issues
Where road management gets complex
Load restrictions, poor geometry or difficult sections can delay harvesting and transport, increase costs or force plans to change.
Roads deteriorate at different rates, while maintenance budgets and crews are limited, making it difficult to know what needs attention now and what can wait.
Poor drainage and failing culverts can contribute to erosion and accelerate road deterioration, creating more work and cost over time.
With digital technology
What forest road analysis can enable
Plan logistics with with better road information, reducing the risk of avoidable delays, rerouting, and last-minute work.
Prioritize inspections and repairs by urgency and operational importance, using an approach proven on tens of thousands of kilometres of forest roads.
Use information on terrain and water flow to guide improvements, helping protect road performance while avoiding unnecessary impacts on the surrounding forest.
A complete view of forest road conditions
Automatic detections
