Abstract
In the article, an algorithm was proposed and tested to find the optimal routes for the location of cable car trails when developing a cutting area with rope skidding installations, taking into account the technical limitations of rope skidding installations, such as the maximum distance between supports and the minimum radius of curvature. The algorithm is based on the construction of a visibility graph and the use of an annealing simulation method to optimize paths taking into account specified constraints. The given practical example showed the efficiency of the algorithm and its ability to find ways in real conditions. In the logging industry, the algorithm can be used to design hauls for any system of forest machines. Assistance to the forest engineer in the design of cutting areas will increase productivity, reduce the number of inconsistencies with the technological map.
