Vechicle tracking simulation

[Dexie]

Does anyone know of any software that will simulate vehicle tracking through a site layout that works within Vectorworks or produced a Plug-in that will do the following, as with a product called TURN LSP. ----When you need to model a vehicle weaving through a site, a roundabout, or another geometric feature, you need a vehicle tracking program like TURN.LSP follows the polyline front wheel path of a turning/weaving vehicle and draws a polyline along the theoretical rear wheel path of the vehicle in AutoCAD.

I would be very interested to know if anyone has knowledge of this as it could be a very usefull tool to anyone involved in the Architectural/Urban Design field.

There's MacRoad

and

HighRoadhttp://www.createng.com.au/hr_features.htm

I'll have a look at those. Thanks very much.

I am not aware of a plug-in for VectorWorks or any program in the Mac environment that will check and/or produce minimum vehicle turning paths.

HighRoad (formely MacRoad) can be used to design roads by specifying a design horizontal centre-line & setting an offset representing the required rear wheel off-set for the design vehicle in the typical sections (control line).

The workround is to use road geometric design standards that produce the required minimum turning radius for the design vehicle.
