Project
FHOPS
Forest Harvesting Operations Planning System software for reproducible forest operations planning experiments.
FHOPS is the Forest Harvesting Operations Planning System, an open software project in the FRESH research software portfolio.
The project supports reproducible optimization and benchmarking workflows for forest harvesting operations planning.
FHOPS is connected to Rosalia Jaffray's MASc thesis: the literature-review chapter is published in the International Journal of Forest Engineering, the FHOPS software paper has been submitted to SoftwareX, and the rolling-horizon machine-scheduling chapter is being rewritten for submission to the Canadian Journal of Forest Research.
