Road traffic safety is receiving increasing attention. Different real-time safety indicators relying on traffic sensor data can be found in the literature. Some are based on the posterior analysis of crash and traffic data; while others are based on real t ...
This paper presents a semi-automatic and systematic computational approach intending to count and localize different species of trees in zones of dense forest. Comparative analysis of the application of multi-spectral high resolution images and aerial LIDA ...
This paper presents an approach to perform geo-referenced estimations of forest wood residues availability for energy use based on forest inventory data integration into a GIS. Three different estimation methods are described. The first one evaluates bioma ...
Forest ecosystems show diverse and evolving structures. Accurate descriptions and a good knowledge of these environments are therefore a real challenge. Existing forest cover investigation methods are mostly laborious, hard to replicate and usually based o ...

Friction welding is a new technology in the course of which wood pieces are subjected to circular or linear movements in a welding machine. The wood in the contact zone is heated and melted. Aiming at a better understanding of the thermal alteration of woo ...
Switzerland is not a place commonly associated with forest fires, unlike many areas of the nearby Mediterranean Basin. However, in this Alpine country, forest fires occur every year and destroy forests that fulfil various functions, the most socially and e ...
The process design of a 10 to 20MWth Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG) production process from wood has been performed. Combining process modeling and process integration techniques, this study proceeds via the following stages: • thermodynamic modeling: mass, e ...
At international level, FSC certification aims at a sustainable management of the forest. However, forest owners in Switzerland do not perceive it in this way, as Swiss forest law already regulates sustainable forestry. Interviews with forest owners and ma ...
Among different dead wood types, large snags have a particular ecological relevance for biodiversity in forest ecosystems. For both research and management purposes, rapid and cost-effective inventories of large snags are required. Due to the great variabi ...
