New Swept Path Analysis Features in AutoTURN 10

The swept path analysis software trusted most by design professionals

AutoTURN® is used to confidently analyze road and site design projects including intersections, roundabouts, bus terminals, loading bays, parking lots or any on/off-street assignments involving vehicle access checks, clearances, and swept path maneuvers.

As the vehicle swept path analysis software of choice for transportation engineers, planners, drafters, and architects, AutoTURN is used everyday. In fact, almost every state DOT in the US and provincial MOT in Canada use AutoTURN making it the defacto standard software of its kind for government agencies.

DISCOVER HOW AUTOTURN INCREASES PRODUCTIVITY

AutoTURN® is advanced technology for vehicle swept path analysis and modeling. Simulating forward and reverse vehicle turn maneuvers is quick and easy with AutoTURN’s SmartPath Tools – interactive drive modes that incorporate speed, superelevation, lateral friction, and turn radius algorithms.

In this version, new and updated features give you the ability to perform intricate vehicle movements with reliable engineering results.

Enhanced Vehicle Creation
The latest version of AutoTURN features a major update to the vehicle creation interface. This improvement adds a more intuitive yet flexible approach when designing custom vehicles.

Support of liftable axles
AutoTURN now supports the creation of customized vehicles with liftable axles. During a simulation, the axles can be set to be raised or dropped, effectively changing the wheelbase and turning characteristics of the vehicle.

Detach Trailer from Tractor
For multi-part vehicles, AutoTURN lets users detach parts (i.e. trailers) from the front tractor - ideal for checking operational scenarios at different facilities (e.g. loading bays, manufacturing plants, warehouses, etc)

Display Centripetal Acceleration Value
The centripetal acceleration display allows designers to see the computed value of a vehicle moving through a curve or cornering. The trusted algorithms used ensure simulations do not violate the lateral acceleration limits.
