The definitive software for fast and efficient roundabout planning and designing |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Witness a completely new and dynamic way to create single and multilane
roundabouts. With TORUS, designing optimal roundabouts that meet traffic
operations and safety objectives has never been easier.
|
|
|
|
Truly Revolutionary |
|
|
|
TORUS gives you the ultimate in control and visual feedback during the
roundabout design process. Based on the proven AutoTURN engine, TORUS takes an
innovative approach of generating roundabout geometry using vehicle swept paths.
This patent pending technology incorporates real-time, interactive designing and
instantly updates changes to the entire roundabout.

TORUS Detailed Review |
|
|
|
TORUS revolutionizes the way modern roundabouts are designed. With speed,
vehicle, and sight distance checks incorporated within the software,
transportation engineers and planners can minimize the iteration process during
the feasibility, preliminary, intermediate, and detailed design stages. |

|
Rounabout Design Elements |
|
Roundabout Reporting Tables |
|
|
|
 |
TORUS lets you drag and place the central island and inscribed circle while
dynamically updating the design to fit their location. You can add and set leg
parameters (entry/exit, offsets, widths, bypass lanes, and curb rounding). In
addition, selected legs can be rotated around the central island. |
|
|
 |
Create and insert Fastest Path data tables (vehicle speed and travel path radii
information); Curve table (dimensions for refined edge geometry); Summary Report
with all design information. Reports can be inserted in the CAD drawing or
exported to text format files. |

Refine Roundabout Edges |
|
Fastest Path Analysis |
|
|
|
 |
Draw lines and arcs based on the locations of the roundabout edges that can be
fine-tuned to more closely represent final edges. Using this functionality, you
can produce labeled roundabout geometric elements and Curve Tables. |
|
|
 |
Vehicle speed control is one of the most important features of roundabout
design. With TORUS, the fastest paths for a roundabout can be calculated and
drawn based on offsets from reference geometries. Fastest path values are
dynamically updated. |

Design Display Options |
|
Innovation at its Best |
|
|
|
 |
Set and edit colours, line types and hatch patterns for text labels, design
symbols, roundabout geometry, fastest path and, movement simulations. Change the
display properties for different geometric elements including inscribed circle,
central island, truck apron, bypass and splitter islands, crosswalks, and lane
radii. |
|
|
 |
Utilizing the proven AutoTURN swept path engine, TORUS generates roundabouts
based on vehicle movements and clearance offsets. Productivity and efficiency is
stepped up by incorporating vehicle manoeuvring and speeds as design criteria,
rather than just as a checking method. |

|
|
|
Sight Line Evaluation |
|
Check Vehicle Movements |
|
|
|
 |
Sight line analysis is an important factor for determining safety constraints in
a roundabout. With TORUS, you can generate various types of sight lines
(approaches to crosswalk, yield line, and circulatory lanes). Once placed, you
can control their display and edit the properties used to define them. |
|
|
 |
TORUS lets you add, view, edit, and delete AutoTURN vehicle movements from a
roundabout in order to demonstrate the movements governed by the vehicles
specified in the current design guideline. |

Roundabout Management |
|
Presentation Abilities |
|
|
|
 |
TORUS allows you to save, recall, and display multiple roundabout iterations for
design review and comparison. Each roundabout design can have its own design
symbol and independent set of iterations. |
|
|
 |
Animate vehicle manoeuvring simulations within the roundabout CAD drawing.
Animations can be saved and exported to be used with Transoft Solutions InVision
presentation software. |
