|Description=TerEval addresses the decision problem of how to delineate areas suitable for ground-borne, cable-borne and airborne harvesting operations for a given geographical area. This decision is heavily affecting the economic efficiency and environmental soundness of operations, since many “high impact” logging operations are the result of poor terrain elevation decisions. In the mid-1990s, the forest engineering group at ETH developed a spatial decision support system (SDSS), providing the following capabilities (Lüthy 1998). Firstly, it delineates terrain units suitable for ground-based and for cable-based operations and units that are inaccessible. Secondly, it refines cable-based terrain units for uphill and downhill yarding considering different yarder configurations, particularly in terms of the available length of the skyline.
