The primary consideration in planning modern facilities for motor transport equipment movements is to provide adequate space for efficient manoeuvring.
No one design will fit all requirements, but careful study of present needs and future possibilities will determine the type and size of facilities essential to efficient operation.
However, the manoeuvring space required is largely dependent on; the overall length of the vehicle, the width of the position in which the vehicle must be placed, and the turning radius of the vehicle.
The solution to aid the designer in this analysis is Autodesk Vehicle Tracking.
Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2014 software is a comprehensive transportation analysis and design solution for vehicle swept path analysis. The software enables engineers, designers, and planners at government agencies and engineering consulting firms working on transportation or site design projects to predictably evaluate vehicle movements. In addition, you can examine intersections using integrated analysis and simulation tools that are part of the total design process, all within a familiar Autodesk AutoCAD environment.
Supported AutoCAD products include the 2013 and 2014 versions of Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk AutoCAD Civil 3D, Autodesk AutoCAD Architecture, Autodesk AutoCAD Plant 3D, Autodesk AutoCAD Map 3D, and Autodesk AutoCAD Utility Design.
