Some Aspects of the Theory of Winter Route Counting of Game Animals

Abstract

Abstract—As a result of our comparison of winter routing with a similar (in terms of purpose) band record, a clear interpretation of the factor π/2 = 1.57 is given. This multiplier is shown to be the proportionality coefficient that maps the number of tracks crossed by the route to the total length of track lines on the recording band of a certain width. The geometric meaning of this factor has been established, and the effective width of the counting band for winter routing was determined. In the course of our modeling, the random nature of the proportionality coefficient was fully revealed, and its statistical characteristics for samples of various sizes were studied. The applicability range of the winter routing formula was outlined.
