AutoTURN - Software Features and Compatibility

• UPDATED! Conflict analysis can now be displayed in another layer which can be toggled on and off
• Place "adaptive" vehicle simulations on either centered or offset left/right with a smooth transitions option on user-drawn paths made from lines, arcs, polylines, complex chains and even AutoCAD® Civil 3D® alignments
• Link adaptive simulation to path geometry allowing for grip-edits made to their paths
• Conflict analysis feature provides real-time feedback on vehicle path obstructions
• Use the Regenerate Simulation feature on existing simulations to account for conflicts that occur after path obstacles have been added, removed, or modified
• Perform three-part vehicle reverse simulation maneuvers to any vector
• Ability to continue generating new independent vehicle paths from one main path
• Perform reverse cornering with reverse sweep angle ranges of 1° to 160°
• Ability to add in realistic vehicle plan views for simulation creation and animations
• Generate swept path envelopes from vehicle shapes with chamfered corners or filleted radii
• Create conical lines of sight to evaluate mirror views, blind spots or headlight paths
• Place, remove, or recall vehicles, active simulations, and active pathways
• Add and analyze vehicle loads and clearances

• SmartPath tools uses four interactive drive modes for performing vehicle forward, reverse, and oversteering turn simulations through mouse movements
• SmartPath tools integrate the use of engineering algorithms to account for vehicle speed, superelevation, lateral friction, and turn radii
• Generate Arc Path – create turn simulations (i.e. through roundabouts) by dragging the mouse and clicking from point to point
• Generate Corner Path – produce simulations using an entrance, arc, and exit tangent and use the mouse to lengthen or shorten the tangent
• Generate Oversteer Corner – selecting the desired sweep angle with a mouse click will instantly display whether a turn simulation is viable
• Steer A Path - create simulations using the mouse by dragging the vehicle in any direction within the drawing

• Override Angle for Special Transport is now independent of directional change in the articulating point for the trailer
• Create and simulate vehicles with independent rear steering systems (including crab steering for supported vehicle types)
• Create and simulate vehicles with telescoping trailers to represent logging trucks
• Specialized vehicle types include: Wind Tower Trailer; Wind Blade Trailer; Beam Transporter I and II; Booster Trailer; 19-axel Heavy Hauler
• Draw cargo for a simulation and combine the cargo envelope with the vehicle body envelope
• Define cargo size and set limiting factors for vehicle configuration to operate within industry parameters to prevent damage to the payload or surrounding environment

• NEW! Addition of AASHTO 2011 (USA), MT-DNIT-IPR (BRAZIL), and VEGAGERÐIN (ICELAND) national standard design vehicle libraries
• National design vehicle standard libraries for: US (AASHTO, Caltrans), Canada (TAC, Alberta), Australia (Austroads) ,UK, France, Austria, Germany , Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland, Norway, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark and Czech Republic
• Special libraries include: Architectural, Transoft Realistic
• Vehicle types include: fire engine pumper, double articulated bus, sport utility, pickup, and rear steered vehicles
• View and sort library database to show by region, type, number of parts, class, and vehicle characteristics
• User-created vehicles and types can be saved and added to the library
• Addition of LKW 9M in RVS (AUT), VNA-SP (alt), and SNA-BP (alt) to CSN (CZ) libraries

• Ability to place one wheel on an axle for specialized vehicle creation (e.g. steam rollers)
• Specify the tire sizing (width and diameter) and space between tires on the same axle
• Create, modify, and add user-defined vehicles or vehicle types
• Ability to specify the articulation angle per part for multi-part vehicles
• Choose track width for axle groups independently within a given part (front and back)

• Control simulation playback (play, pause, scrub) through the Run Animation Dialog Box
• Manage vehicle animations for use with Transoft Solutions’ presentation software, InVision, to create multiple sequencing of vehicle movements that can be saved to AVI videos for client presentations and proposals
• Generate hatched areas defined by the vehicle body envelopes or clearance envelopes
• Vehicle simulation animations can be looped repeatedly for dynamic presentations
• Insert vehicle profiles including dimensions within the drawing file
• Full motion, drag & drop, and stop frame animation options

• View override/path angle information for independently rear steering vehicles
• View graph report of a multi-part vehicle’s articulation angles when generating or placing a simulation.
• View vehicle steering angle graphs and simulation summary data such as speed, path length, and vehicle type
• Reports are customizable - affect display color, line types, and formatting
• Summary reports include orientation and simulation type (arc, corner)
