Autopath 2015 Vehicle Swept Path Analysis Software Autopath is a professional software for vehicle swept path analysis favored by civil engineers, transportation professionals, architects and planners for projects of all varieties and scale.

Projects that require the need to maneuver around stationary objects like intersections, roundabouts, parking lots, airports, transportation projects, loading bays, warehouses, or construction sites, Autopath is the ideal software to perform these tasks.

Not limited to cars, trucks, trailers and Airplanes with Autopath you can create your own library of none standard vehicles such as, Construction Equipment, Farm Equipment and more.

Autopath is so Easy-To-Use that you will be up and running in a matter of minutes!

Autopath is engineered to meet all the market requirements and by eliminating any unnecessary complexity! It is available at an affordable price without compromising functionality or reliability!

Example of roundabout transportability evaluation

Ease of use Autopath is so easy to use that no training should be required. User are up and running in a matter of minutes.

Easy Drive Easy Drive is an interactive method of defining the vehicle path. Besides an easy input this method includes realistic simulation because it considers parameters such as vehicle speed, wheel turning speed and the superelevation of the road.

Predictive turning technology

Example of forward and reverse turn prediction of truck with single trailer for purpose of truck parking terminal evaluation

Forward and reverse turn predictions when using EasyDrive helps you to precisely predict a vehicle’s movement especially where a vehicle path is narrowed by obstacles.

tune vehicle path to see whether the vehicle will be able to pass through a given set of constraints.

Dynamic editing of vehicle path

Vertical Clearance Vertical clearence is used to check a vehicles clearance for things such as parking garages, bridges and more.

Vehicle path can be easily and intuitively controlled by moving the path grips. This way you can easily fine

Autopath vertical analysis enables easy evaluation of garage entrances, road owerpasses, etc.

Various Driving methods You can define vehicle path in a variety of ways. In addition to EasyDrive (interactive method) a vehicle can also follow a Civil 3D alignment or even a polyline. You can select whether the front or rear vehicle axis will follow given path.

Example of swept path analysis of travel lift transporting a yacht in a marina.

With Autopath, such exceptional transports can very easily be created or customized. You can create your library of customized vehicles.

In some cases the easiest way to define a vehicle path is by manual steering. This means that the vehicle can be steered using either the mouse pointer or keyboard. You can increase/decrease vehicle speed or change the vehicle type at any given moment.

product are vehicle libraries such as AASHTO and others that consist of airplanes, trucks, trailers, cars. There is no extra cost for additional vehicles.

Proven algorithms All calculations in Autopath are based on algorithms of “CGS plus Turning curves” software which has been used for more than 10 years by road designers all over the world.

You also have the option to drive a vehicle in reverse for checking parking and turning maneuvers.

Custom Vehicle Library

Graphical representation of the analysis results Graphically represent the analysis results using different reports or graphics. Users can draw the vehicle outer edges, tire and axis trails in addition to hatching the swept path areas. Graph the vehicle tire angle to accurately show the steering of the vehicle along a given path.

Create custom vehicles with an easy to use interface. Included in the
