AutoTURN InSite - Features and Compatibility

A Quality and Dependable Solution for Any Size Budget

AutoTURN InSite was developed as a value leading software alternative for designers, engineers, and architects who need an easy-to-deploy solution to assess vehicle maneuvers for small roadway and off-street projects.

Core Simulation Functionality
  • Ability to generate a straight line section while simulating an arc path
  • Work with a maximum of 20 path sections for any vehicle simulation
  • Perform reverse maneuvers for single-part vehicles (reversing two or more part vehicles not supported)
  • Ability to use realistic vehicle plan views for simulation creation and animations
  • Generate swept path envelopes from vehicle shapes with chamfered corners or filleted radii
  • Real-time, dynamically updated information (radius, steering and articulating angle values) displayed for the selected vehicle while “driving” a simulation using the “Generate Arc Path” Smart Path Tool
  • Define and hatch vehicle body swept envelopes for tracking during a turn simulation
  • Simulate realistic turning maneuvers for vehicles that employ front and rear steering linkage
  • Create simulations using arcs, polylines, or splines (with Place Vehicle command)
Scalable Vehicle Library Database
  • Includes TRANSOFTM library with four vehicles for generating simulations (Small Car; City Bus; Delivery Van; Semi Trailer)
  • Available for purchase – National and regional design vehicle standard libraries available for purchase including: US (AASHTO, Caltrans), Canada (TAC, Alberta), Australia (Austroads) ,UK, France, Austria, Germany , Netherlands, Switzerland, Finland, Norway, New Zealand Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark and Czech Republic
  • Available for purchase – Realistic vehicles (AutoTURN Extended Vehicle Libraries)
  • View and sort library database to show by region, type, number of parts, class, and vehicle characteristics
Specialized Transportation Systems
  • Ability to numerically input or use the mouse wheel to dynamically control the independent rear steering angle for specialized vehicle configurations
  • Simulate 2-part vehicles with telescoping trailers as seen on some logging trucks
  • Use specialized 2-part vehicle like the Wind Blade Trailer
Vehicle Animation And Presentation Abilities
  • Vehicle simulation animations can be looped repeatedly for dynamic and impacting presentations
  • Generate hatched areas defined by the vehicle body envelopes or vehicle body clearance envelopes for improved visual analysis and presentations
  • Insert vehicle profiles including dimensions within the drawing file
User Capabilities
  • Control the display of installed vehicle libraries to show only selected libraries
  • Real-time turning radius display options
  • Easy to navigate graphic-driven user interface, dialog boxes, and menus
  • Context sensitive help files available
