Controlling the operation of forestry machines based on data acquisition

Abstract:

A control system receives information indicative of characteristics of tree bundles that are felled at various locations in a forestry site. The control system receives information indicative of characteristics of the various machines that can be deployed at the forestry site. It includes a solution generation system that generates solutions indicative of which equipment should be deployed, to different locations in the forestry site, and particular routes over which the deployment is to occur. Control signals can be generated to control the equipment based on the generated solutions.
