Swept Path Analysis Software
version
2014
AutopathAutopath, professional swept path analysis software, is used
to analyze the maneuverability and clearance of vehicles on
projects such as intersections, roundabouts, parking lots,
airports, transportation terminals, construction sites and
more. It is effective, simple to use, straightforward and
powerful.
Autopath was specifically engineered to meet the industry
requirements without compromising reliability and by
eliminating any unnecessary complexity, thus making it
affordable and easy to use for all users.
What’s new?
Some of the most important new features inAutopath 2014 are:
� Improved performance by using multi-threading
Better maneuverability for the reverse drive
Simultaneous turn prediction for reverse and forward drive - usefulfor checking parking maneuvers
Default report presets
Default layer presets

Ease of use
Autopath is so easy to use that notraining should be required. Userare up and running in a matter ofminutes.
Easy Drive is an interactivemethod of defining the vehiclepath. Besides an easy input thismethod includes realisticsimulation because it considersparameters such as vehiclespeed, wheel turning speed andthe superelevation of the road.
Forward and reverse turnpredictions when usingEasyDrive helps you to preciselypredict a vehicle's movementespecially where a vehicle path isnarrowed by obstacles.

Dynamic
editing of
vehicle path
Vehicle path can beeasily and intuitivelycontrolled by movingthe path grips. This wayyou can easily fine tune vehiclepath to see whether the vehiclewill be able to pass through agiven set of constraints.
Vertical
Clearance
Vertical clearence isused to check a
vehicles clearance forthings such as parking
garages, bridges andmore.
Features & Benefits
Various Driving
methods
You can define vehicle path in avariety of ways. In addition toEasyDrive (interactive method) avehicle can also follow a Civil 3Dalignment or even a polyline. Youcan select whether the front orrear vehicle axis will follow givenpath.
Create custom vehicleswith an easy to use interface
ReferencesFrom 1998, when the firstversion was officially released,Autopath has gained anumber of satisfied users inGermany, Austria, UnitedStates, Australia, NewZealand, Russia, Poland, etc.
It has been successfullyintegrated into the workflowof companies of very differentsizes: from small engineeringbureaus with only a fewemployees to the big andinternationally renownedconsulting companies.
In some cases the easiest way todefine a vehicle path is by manualsteering. This means that thevehicle can be steered using eitherthe mouse pointer or keyboard.You can increase/decrease vehiclespeed or change the vehicle typeat any given moment.
You also have the option to drivea vehicle in reverse for checkingparking and turning maneuvers.
Create custom vehicles with aneasy to use interface. Included inthe product are vehicle librariessuch as AASHTO and others that

Graphically represent the analysisresults using different reports orgraphics. Users can draw thevehicle outer edges, tire and axistrails in addition to hatching theswept path areas. Graph thevehicle tire angle to accuratelyshow the steering of the vehiclealong a given path.

Proven algorithms
All calculations in Autopath arebased on algorithms of "CGSTurning curves" software whichhas been used for more than 10years by road designers all overthe world.
