Key Features of Our Swept Path Analysis Software

  • Ease of Use: Simulate forward and reverse driving by simply dragging and clicking the vehicle, even for multipart configurations.
  • Dynamic Path Analysis: No need to draw guidelines manually. Start simulations immediately and adjust parameters on the fly. Instant feedback eliminates the need for post-analysis corrections.
  • Precision and Accuracy: Achieve optimal results by factoring in speed, steering times, and vehicle dynamics. Our turn radius calculator ensures reliable calculations.
  • Versatile Applications: Perform forward and reverse driving simulations, clearance analysis, collision checks, dynamic object binding, independent rear-axle steering, and more.
  • Vehicle Libraries: Use standard vehicles or create custom models, including trucks, buses, trailers, and heavy-duty transporters.
  • CAD Integration: Swept paths are calculated and visualized directly in CAD software, with results exportable in DXF or DWG formats. Ideal for vehicle tracking AutoCAD workflows.

Swept Path Analysis Software For International Use

Here are some examples of the added value our swept path analysis software offers for international use:

 

United States

Accurate truck turning radius CAD calculations and swept path analysis are crucial to ensure compliance with state-specific rules and avoid damage to infrastructure. Our software supports detailed planning for heavy-load transport through urban and rural environments, ensuring vehicles can safely navigate roads, intersections, and bridges.

Canada

The vast distances and varying terrains, especially in remote regions, require precise analysis to ensure maneuverability on both highways and local roads. Our software helps you assess route feasibility, particularly for timber and mining transport.

Australia

In Australia, heavy loads often need to traverse long distances through remote and challenging landscapes. Accurate turning radius calculation for trucks ensures safe navigation, especially in mining and agricultural regions. Our software supports dynamic simulations for complex vehicle configurations, including self-steering trailers.

 

United Kingdom

In the UK, narrow streets and historic infrastructure pose significant challenges for heavy transport. Our software helps planners ensure that trucks and buses can navigate tight turns and intersections safely, preventing infrastructure damage and optimizing logistics in urban areas. Use our truck turning radius calculator to ensure efficient planning.

France

French regulations emphasize protecting historical and urban infrastructure. Accurate swept path analysis ensures compliance with strict guidelines for oversized loads, particularly in dense city environments or near heritage sites. Our software enables precise route planning to avoid costly disruptions.

Sweden

Sweden’s forestry and logistics industries often require transporting large loads through forested and rural areas. Our vehicle simulation software helps optimize routes, ensuring vehicles can safely maneuver narrow roads, considering factors such as vehicle length and rear-axle steering.
