User-defined vehicles
Define your own vehicles with versioned geometry.
MODULE 09 / 12 · VEHICLES & SWEPT PATHS
Swept paths in 2D,
clearance in 3D.
Define vehicles from cycles to multi-trailer combinations, sweep them along alignments or paths you edit on screen and let route search find a way from start to goal. In 3D, review ground strike, overhead clearance and driver sight lines over the terrain and compare scenarios side by side.

capabilities.
Your engineers work in the desktop workbench; your agent reaches the same project through typed local tools. Items tagged In development are being built now.
Vehicles and swept paths
Axles, wheelbases and overhangs
Set axles, wheelbases, body widths and overhangs for two-axle bodies.
Steering angles and turning limits
Steering angles and turning limits per vehicle.
Vehicle validation
Vehicle definitions are validated and their source recorded.
Forward manoeuvres
Swept paths for rigid vehicles driving forward.
Reverse manoeuvres
Swept paths for rigid vehicles reversing.
Tractor-trailer manoeuvres
Articulated tractor-trailer swept paths with a continuous clearance bound.
Multi-trailer combinations
Swept paths for vehicles towing up to three extra units.
Front, rear and linked steering
Model rear-wheel and linked steering, including crab travel.
Special transport limits
Check special-transport vehicle configurations against their stated limits.
Cycle and scooter envelopes
Envelopes for cycles, cycle trailers and scooters.
Graphical path editing
Click to add, move and remove path legs on the plan.
Follow a route
Vehicles follow lines, arcs and spirals along a selected route.
Path updates after edits
Swept paths are marked stale and rebuilt when the followed alignment changes.
Start-to-goal route search
Search for a route from a start to a goal position.
Vehicle comparison on one route
Compare several vehicles on the same route.
Wheel tracks and body envelopes
Separate wheel tracks and body envelopes.
Loads and custom body outlines
Model load projections and custom body outlines.
Clearance offsets
Check clearance using offsets you specify.
Turning speed checks
Check turning speed, steering rate and lateral acceleration feasibility.
Inspect any position
Inspect the vehicle at any selected position along the path.
2D sight lines and headlights
Plan sight-line and headlight geometry from vehicles.
Vehicle library exchange
Import, export and validate vehicle libraries.
Swept-path report sheets
Swept-path sheets with envelope, wheel tracks, obstacles and findings, exported to SVG, PDF and DXF.
3D clearance and sight
Terrain-following vehicle pose
Vehicles follow the terrain in 3D along the whole manoeuvre.
In development
Suspension modelling
Model vehicle suspension instead of a rigid wheel-contact pose.
3D forward and reverse manoeuvres
Run forward and reverse manoeuvres over saved terrain in 3D.
3D body and load envelopes
Per-frame 3D body boxes and load-top prisms along the manoeuvre.
Overhead clearance
Check vehicle height against horizontal overhead soffits.
Ground-strike checks
Check the vehicle underside for ground strike over any terrain.
In development
Lateral 3D clearance
Lateral clearance checks with height bands in 3D.
Trailer attitude in 3D
3D pitch and roll of the first trailer over terrain.
Ramp breakover checks
Approach, breakover and departure checks, including grade breaks in profiles.
Driver eye and 3D sight lines
Driver eye points and sight lines over the terrain.
Minimum clearance locations
Find and report where minimum clearances occur.
3D scenario playback
Repeatable 3D review playback with a frame slider and side-by-side findings comparison.
3D clearance reports
3D clearance reports as JSON with 3D DXF geometry.
Vehicle animation playback
Play vehicle 3D review frames back in the 3D view.
HAND IT TO YOUR AGENT
Three briefs to start with.
BRIEF 01
“Sweep a 22 m articulated truck through the loading yard and list every kerb strike.”
BRIEF 02
“Find a route from the gate to Bay 4 for the refuse truck.”
BRIEF 03
“Check the low-bed with the transformer load under the bridge soffit on the haul road.”
