AutoTURN
What AutoTURN is
AutoTURN simulates vehicle maneuvers and swept paths to help evaluate site, intersection, loading-dock, and road designs. Transoft presents AutoTURN Pro, AutoTURN, and AutoTURN Online as product options. Desktop AutoTURN supports CAD platforms such as AutoCAD, Civil 3D, MicroStation, BricsCAD, and ZWCAD, with compatibility varying by release. AutoTURN Online is a web application that simulates turns using regional guidelines and manufacturer-based vehicle libraries. AutoTURN Pro includes more than 900 manufacturer-specific vehicles and more than 1,800 standard design vehicles. Analysis options include turning, sight-distance, speed-profile, and clearance analysis; 3D clearance analysis is available in Pro. AutoTURN and Pro allow customizable vehicles, but Online does not allow users to add custom vehicles. Desktop use supports offline mode and DXF, and listed AutoTURN 11.0.5 requirements specify a 64-bit Windows workstation. A free seven-day AutoTURN Pro trial starts after installation and activation. Pricing is on request; the Online User Subscription License is £520 a year, billed for one year and not auto-renewing.
