RICHMOND, British Columbia, Mar. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

 

Transoft Solutions Inc., developers of transportation engineering design

software, has announced the release of the latest version of the AutoTURN(TM)

suite of products with new and enhanced features.

 

Urban planners and engineers have long relied on Transoft Solution's AutoTURN

when designing transportation projects. Whether used for new development projects,

rehabilitation schemes or temporary traffic management plans, the  accuracy and

the reliability of the AutoTURN software, as well as its user-friendly functionality, has made

it the standard tool for swept path analysis. Transoft Solutions' latest release of AutoTURN

Pro includes the ability to analyze the swept paths of a variety of bicycles. This means

engineers can reduce guesswork and design errors as they visualize and create

a transportation network that includes cycling lanes and facilities.

 

"There is greater demand for cities to implement active transportation

initiatives including safe cycling and walking networks to reduce traffic

congestion and to become more sustainable. In our latest release, we took into

consideration the need for transportation professionals to design safe

infrastructure for both vehicles and bicycles," said Chris Milne, VP Software

Development, Transoft Solutions.

 

The industry-leading vehicle swept path analysis and turn simulation software,

AutoTURN and AutoTURN Pro, new capabilities includes:

 

- Simulate bicycle and scooter movements – use a library of different cycle

types (e.g. bikes with trailers, recumbent cycles, scooters) to simulate their

movements and ensure projects safely accommodate the turning space required.

- Solve possible drive paths based on available space – reduce the guess work

by using the Intellipath tool to calculate the maximum allowable speeds for specific turns.

- Detect vehicle conflicts with terrain and structures in 3D – highlight

potential conflicts between vehicles and terrain or overhead obstructions.

- Access an expanded library of manufacturer and standard vehicles – test

designs with various new speciality manufacturer vehicles such as forklifts,

limousines, construction cranes, fire trucks, and tanker trailers.

- Conduct informed reviews of simulations – review simulations by checking

various parameters such as speed, steering, and proximity to potential conflicts.
