Abstract
The article considers the problem of improving the methods for assessing the transport and operational condition of winter road surfaces of forest roads using a generalized indicator of the efficiency of the transport and operational condition of the winter road surface of a forest road. The use of snow or snow-ice as a roadbuilding material causes significant difficulties in the operation of winter forest roads. This problem can be solved by the first developed assessment methodology based on a generalized indicator of the efficiency of the transport and operational condition of the winter road surface, which has determined the purpose of this work. The purpose of the research was to develop a methodology for assessing the transport and operational condition of winter road surfaces of forest roads. Objects and methods. The objects of the study are winter road surfaces of forest roads treated with stone friction materials. To investigate their performance,
the methods of the theory of fuzzy logic and fuzzy sets were applied. Results. As a result of the conducted research, options of the treatment of winter road surfaces with friction materials have been developed. The following should be considered as the rational values for the treatment of winter road surfaces with stone friction materials: for fraction 5–10 mm with a distribution density of at least 6.5 kg/m2; for fraction 10–15 mm with a distribution density of at least 6.0 kg/m2; for fraction 10–20 mm with a distribution density of stone materials at least 9.0 kg/m2, with a value of the generalized indicator of the transport and operational condition of at least 0.605. Conclusion. The developed methodology for assessing the transport and operational condition of winter road surfaces of forest roads according to a generalized indicator can be recommended to improve the efficiency of the operation of winter forest roads, as well as to develop regulations for the winter maintenance of forest transportation infrastructure.
