AutoTURN 8.2 (New Version Release)

Our clients asked for additional functionality to streamline the design process and we listened.

Every designer within an organization needs to have access to the same load and sightline specifications. With the new AutoTURN release, any updates to custom vehicles go to each network member automatically. Plus, this updated version features many new additional models in the vehicle libraries. As well, the new release includes the latest compatibility with Autodesk® AutoCAD® 2014 platforms and Windows® 8 operating systems.

AutoTURN improves the user experience by creating a direct relationship between simulations and CAD geometry enhancing the quality of your overall design. Using live feedback, new comprehensive design and analysis tools lets you quickly update your vehicle simulations for more productivity gains early in the design process.

• Place Adaptive Simulation: Link vehicle simulations with lines, arcs, polylines, and AutoCAD® Civil3D® alignments allowing the simulation to be automatically updated based on changes to the linked geometry.
• Conflict Detection Analysis: Specify a layer/level that contains important geometry that should not interfere with your current simulation. Conflicts are highlighted where the vehicle envelopes cross the specified geometry.
• Regenerate Simulation: Recreate a simulation accounting for changes to the obstacles that interact with the vehicle simulation envelopes.
• Manage InVision: Ability to easily add and remove InVision presentation data within AutoTURN.

Our clients have seen a rise in large scale construction projects and sustainability initiatives requiring specialized transport vehicles that need to navigate the roadways. When our clients talk, we listen. You asked for more specialized vehicles and now you have them.

• New Specialized Vehicles including Wind Tower Trailer, Wind Blade Trailer, 19-axle Heavy Haul, Beam Transporter I and II, and Booster Trailer.
• Specialized vehicle configurations available allowing independent rear steering including crab steering for supported vehicles.
• Create and simulate driving maneuvers for telescoping joint trailers. Telescopic joints are common for logging truck configurations.
• New reporting tools include override/path angle information for independently rear steered vehicles.

Powerful visual tool
See firsthand how a vehicle traverses a path in live-animated simulations - ideal for design confirmation and client presentations. vehicles through sharp curves, navigate complex site obstructions, test a new roundabout or simply turn through an intersection.

Drive performance
Get more work done in much less time. AutoTURN's interface and editing tools dramatically reduces the amount of frustrating trial and error efforts. Vehicle paths can be changed quickly and easily - simply select a point, click, drag, and release.

Set design standards
Incorporate guidelines for minimum turn radii, transition curves, superelevation, and lateral friction from accepted standards like the AASHTO 'Green Book' and be confident in your evaluations.

Get superior control
Take on the most challenging vehicle access projects. Build special articulated vehicles, analyze speed, create multiple load point or add lines of sight. AutoTURN's extra features make it easy for further designing and planning work.
