Design Vehicle and Turning Path Templates Guide
The resource includes:
- a user guide covering the basis of the turning templates and road hierarchy (available for free as a PDF)
- design vehicle dimensions and drawings in PNG and PDF formats
- turning templates in DWG (AutoCad 2010) and PDF formats.
The design vehicles included in this document provide guidance to cover most normal intersection designs. The vehicle turning path templates are plots of the vehicle wheelpath and the path traced by other relevant points on the vehicle or explosion. They demonstrate the swept path envelope resulting from various angles of turn at a particular radius.
The resource can be purchased in hard copy with the drawings supplied on CD or as an electronic download.
This webinar provides an introduction to the resource.
