Terrain Accessibility & Route Screening
Which parts of the terrain are easier or harder to traverse, and which candidate route faces lower terrain penalties?
A defensible terrain-only basis for preliminary access planning and comparison of route alternatives before detailed engineering and multi-source constraints are introduced.

Professional scope
- Terrain-only screening; roads, land cover, ownership, legal restrictions and other access constraints are not included unless added through future data-source layers.
- Not a calibrated travel-time, vehicle-performance, traffic-capacity or final road/alignment design model.
- Results are sensitive to DEM quality/resolution and to the selected slope, roughness and directional-cost parameters.
- Detailed engineering requires project-specific geotechnical, structural, environmental and regulatory information.
