About this app

When timber is harvested, trees are felled and cut ( "bucked") into pieces (so called "assortments") of different length. Pricing of the assortments depends on Their length, diameter class and quality and is given in € per m³, Which are then-multiplied with the respectivement volume. In motor-manual felling and bucking operations, the chainsaw operator has to deterministic mine Which assortments to cut from a given tree. By separating the tree into the most suitable combination of assortments, the highest value can be gained from a given tree. In contrast to fully mechanized harvesting operations, chainsaw operators are at the moment not aided by computers When taking this value--defining decision. Further, They are lacking a proper performance documentation in the form of an assortment list and aggregated volumes per assortment, species, quality, length or diameter class.

The Bucking app is an application for Android OS mobile devices, Which aims to close this gap. With the Bucking app, a value optimized bucking scheme can be deterministic mined for a given tree from tree and contractual parameters Entered by the user, thereby assisting the chainsaw operator in this critical decision. Further, the Bucking App Provides after-operation statistics, Which can be Utilized for documentation and planning purposes.

HOWEVER, the Bucking app does not aim to replace, but to assist the human brain When taking the decision bucking. While on the one hand enabling fully computer-aided surgery, the user is on the other hand able to select a customized bucking scheme, Which can be Compared to the value-optimized scheme. This functions on aims at providing the user with a workout option, Which can be employed for Both personal and institutionalized education and training purposes. This functions on is of Further use When defects did go unnoticed during the visual inspection pre-bucking require to alter the original bucking scheme. In thesis cases, it can Easily be done.
