Key Traffic Systems are pleased to be able to complement their product portfolio by acting as sole UK software resellers for Transoft Solutions, bringing to you innovative products in the shape of; AeroTurn, the aircraft manoeuvring simulation software, AutoTURN, for vehicle swept path analysis and ParkCAD, to aid in the design of parking bay layout.

AutoTURN is a timesaving CAD-based program that lets you analyze and evaluate vehicle manoeuvres for projects such as intersections, roundabouts, bus terminals, loading bays or any on/off-street assignments involving access, clearance, and manoeuvrability checks. AutoTURN takes your design ideas to the next level of efficiency. With new features and improved functions, you’ll be simulating, analyzing, and visualizing your projects like never before!

AutoTURN is the most widely used software of its kind. Employed by government departments, top design firms, and educational institutions around the globe - no other vehicle analysis program holds such established acceptance.
 

     
  AutoTURN Highlights  
  Vehicle Turn Simulations and Analysis: Link adaptive simulation to path geometry allowing for grip edits made to their paths.   Presentation Selections: Control simulation playback (play, pause, scrub) through the Run Animation Dialog Box.  
  Smart Path Technology: SmartPath tools integrate the use of engineering algorithms to account for wehicle speed, superelevation, lateral friction and turn radii.   Reporting Features: View override/path angle information for independantly rear steering vehicles.  
  Customised Vehicle Creation: Create, modify and add user-defined vehicles or vehicle types.   Comprehensive Vehicle Library: View and sort library database to show by region, number of parts, class and vehicle characterists.  
         
  “Very Efficient, user friendly with quick accurate results, and reduces
design time. The after sales and technical support was
excellent from very knowledgeable people“

  AutoTURN in Detail      
   Place Adaptive Vehicle Simulations   Conflict Analysis and  Regenerate Simulation  
 
Place adaptive simulations either centered or offset left/right with smooth turning transitions on user-drawn paths made from lines, arcs, polylines, AutoCAD® Civil 3D® alignments or complex chains. Linking with geometry allow these simulations to adapt to grip-edits made to their paths.
 
Perform vehicle conflict analysis and receive real-time visual feedback on any simulation path obstructions. AutoTURN also comes with the ability to regenerate an existing simulation to account for conflicts that occur after path obstacles have been added, removed, or modified.
 
         
   Run Animation with InVision Data Management    Telescoping Trailor Functionality  
 
Control vehicle simulation playback through the new Run Animation feature. Plus, InVision data can now be managed with the ability to pick and choose the vehicle simulations in your drawing required for presentations.
 
Along with the addition of logging trucks to the vehicle library, AutoTURN now has the ability to handle a telescoping trailer for simulating logging vehicles. Test designs for efficiency and safety by assessing rear overhang of logs as they swing out in a corner turn
 
         
   Cargo Loads for Specialised Transportation Systems    Generate Independant Paths  
 
Easily represent an oversize or wide load situation by having the cargo drawn for a vehicle simulation and its envelope combined with the vehicle body envelope. Define the cargo size and limiting factors for vehicle configurations to work within set industry standards.
 
You now have the ability to continue generating new independent vehicle paths from one main simulation path. Save even more time as you explore different maneuvers from the last point of a simulation rather than having to recreate the prior path in its entirety. .
 
         
   More Options for Simulations   Realistic Vehicle Plan Views  
 
With AutoTURN, you can now force a straight line simulation for a vehicle traveling along an arc path. This gives you more options for performing different maneuvers (i.e. lane changes) together in a single and longer vehicle simulation.
 
With AutoTURN, you can use different vehicle plan views, showing greater vehicle detail, in the simulations to increase the realism and quality of presentations.
 
         
  AutoTURN SmartPath Tools   Offset Simulation  
 
Innovative SmartPath tools allow the generation of continuous vehicle paths with four interactive drive modes using engineering algorithms for realistic results.
 
Produce vehicle simulations by simply selecting a roadway element such as a curb or pavement edge and entering an offset distance to generate an optimum vehicle path while maintaining a constant clearance from the element. .
 
         
  Oversteer Corner Path   Complete Vehicle Design Standards  
 
Realistically evaluate the movement of articulated vehicles during turning maneuvers. Steer a vehicle wide enough so that the trailing unit does not encroach on curbs, pedestrian sidewalks or other vehicles.
 
AutoTURN includes national standard vehicle libraries for: US (AASHTO, Caltrans) Canada (TAC)Australia (Austroads), United Kingdom, France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland, New Zealand, plus many more countries.
 
         
         
   
     
 

AutoTURN InSite provides cost conscious urban engineers and architects a simple and reliable option for performing vehicle simulations in the design of roadways, loading zones, parking lots, and driveways.

 

Using the proven AutoTURN technology trusted by engineers worldwide, AutoTURN InSite comes with just a core feature set making it very convenient and easy to use. Creating basic vehicle maneuvers is a straightforward process in AutoTURN InSite – ideal for infrequent users and designers who do not want to outsource their vehicle access work.

 

AutoTURN InSite comes preloaded with four design vehicles for simple projects. You can also add on national standard and AutoTURN extended vehicle libraries of your choice to suit different project requirements.

 
 
     
  AutoTURN InSite Highlights  
 
 
  Easy to Deploy and Use: With only the core features and tools, AutoTURN InSite meets the needs of less complex projects quickly and easily.   No Training Required: The intuitive user interface and basic functionality make for virtually no start up time or extensive training to get up and designing straight away.  
 
 
  Scalable to Your Needs: Work with only the national and regional libraries you need.   Low Cost: Less expensive alternative to full version with an easy upgrade path if you decide to switch later.  
 
 
  Launch Productivity: Enhanced features let you determine the right bridge or aircraft for your requirements without first having to place these elements in your design.   Meets Modest Needs: Suits small design/consulting firms, counties and municipalities with limited budgets.
