AutoTURN for Swept Path Analysis: Design with Confidence

AutoTURN is a powerful software that helps engineers accurately determine the various swept paths of vehicles, enabling them to create optimal designs. Equipped with an extensive vehicle library and an array of advanced features, the software is trusted by numerous engineers in Melbourne and Sydney. In fact, almost every provincial MOT in Canada and state DOT in the US uses AutoTURN, and the adoption is consistently increasing in Australia.

Discussing all that makes AutoTURN a preferred choice of traffic engineers, this post delves deeper into the application and distinctions of this swept path analysis software.

Application

The basic purpose of AutoTURN is to evaluate whether particular vehicle types can maneuver specific turns. Simply put, it assists traffic engineers in their design process by enabling them to assess the turning implications of different types of vehicle, ranging from small cars to large, 25m long mobile cranes. The benefits include accurate and fast construction planning for all types of projects, be it an underground parking, intersection, roundabout, loading bay, or any on/off street assignment.

The software has two primary benefits:

• Simulate different traffic scenarios with accurate results
• Save time and money

How is it Different?

The key distinction of AutoTURN is that it shows the user that how changing one variable can affect the entire design layout. It enables engineers to visualize the changes to a vehicle’s turning characteristics and see its impact on the swept path envelope. Simply put, whether the need is to evaluate vehicle movement along a predefined path, or generate a turning radius based on vehicle speed, AutoTURN has it covered.

AutoTURN provides results on the basis of speed and turning radius, thereby enabling engineers to perform swept analysis with greater efficiency and accuracy, which means shorter timelines. It is the only software that makes it possible to design 3D swept path envelopes, which helps evaluate overhead and ground conflicts. Another distinctive feature is the software’s ability to simulate multiple vehicle types.

Conclusion

AutoTURN is a feature-rich software that helps visualize the 3D swept path envelope on terrain surfaces, eliminating guesswork. It enables engineers to design layouts that can accommodate the specific vehicle movements the proposed developments may generate. That’s why traffic engineers from more than 120 countries trust AutoTURN for their swept path analysis. We, at EB Traffic, have extensive firsthand experience in using the software to generate accurate swept path reports for various types of development projects.
