Research
The research focus of the department lies in the practical context of the technical production of raw wood. These include, for example, the evaluation of innovative technologies and forestry working methods according to ecological, economic and ergonomic aspects.
Special experiences exist in the scientific investigation of the interactions between the chassis of forest special machines and the underground. In addition to recording the frequently discussed contact surface pressure in very high resolution, measuring methods and metrological solutions were realized for the comparative evaluation of the traction behavior and the fuel consumption of self-propelled machines.

Currently ongoing projects & research focus
In addition, the focus is on the collection and evaluation of cooperatively organized product and information flow chains (logistics chains) between forest enterprises and companies in the woodworking and processing industry. Other research areas include the organization of work in forestry operations and the provision of energy wood.
