Expert articles on swept path analysis, design vehicles, and traffic planning
Realistic swept path simulation in the browser: rate-limited steering replaces the instant arc with a clothoid wheel-swing, like desktop tools. Try it free, save with a one-time Projekt Pass.
Export any calibrated swept path analysis as DXF for AutoCAD, BricsCAD or Allplan. A placeable reference point becomes (0,0) so it snaps exactly into place.
Swept paths for semi-trailer trucks: how an articulated tractor + trailer corners, max 16.50 m per § 32 StVZO, typical curve radii, and what planners need to watch out for.
What is the BO-Kraftkreis? § 32d StVZO explained simply: outer 12.50 m, inner 5.30 m, public-domain, and the pragmatic way to plan swept paths without an RBSV 2020 license.
Aerial ladder DLK 23/12: comparison of publicly available manufacturer datasheets (Magirus M32L-AT vs. Rosenbauer L32A-XS vs. Iveco Magirus), why it is the German design vehicle, and where to source the licensed standard dimensions.
Turning bays in dead-end streets: hammerhead, T-shape and circular variants, why the exact dimensions reside in the licensed RASt 06, public-domain sources for pre-design and the most common planning mistakes.
How planners in the US, UK, Australia, Canada and Germany find legally usable garbage truck dimensions: which design-vehicle catalogues to license, which statutory maxima are free to cite, and which manufacturer datasheets give defensible pre-design values.
