Modeling of cutting area parameters for algorithm testing of transport routes' network construction

The article reveals existing dependences of the transport routes' network construction in the cutting area from the soil properties and location of the upper landing on the cutting area. A description of the imitating modeling of the soil properties' indicators in the cutting area is given on the basis of the random variables' generation with the specified distribution law. The study was conducted to identify indicators that determine a degree of the cutting area cover by the transport routes' network and the quality of obtained skid trails. The quality was calculated by a special algorithm of optimization. The obtained conclusions provide findings regarding identified dependencies. The cover for the cutting area does not depend on the initial distribution of soil properties in the cutting area. It depends on the upper landing location on the territory of the cutting area. The quality of the skid trail network, expressed in the value of the objective function, depends on the ratio of stable and unstable soils in the cutting area and on the upper landing location on the territory of the cutting area.
