Arc Path Simulation

Arc Path Simulation Last Section Deleted

c All sections may be deleted until only the vehicle in the start position remains After

depopulating the simulation via the Delete Last Section tool the Continue Simulation tool can be used to repopulate the simulation with the appropriate sections (see Continue Simulation)


Path Control The Path Control tool can be used to make minor adjustments to the sections of which an existing turn simulation consists by moving or adding nodes The start or end points of the sections in a simulation are also known as nodes An example of a minor adjustment the Path Control tool may be used for is in the event that a vehicle path overlaps or tracks too close to an object The Path Control tool can be used to revise the path without recreating the entire simulation For major revisions the use of the Delete Last Section and Continue Simulation tools are more appropriate (see Delete Last Section and Continue Simulation) Note This tool requires an existing simulation

A Moving a Node a Click the Path Control icon on the toolbar

b Select the simulation to be revised c As the cursor is moved over the simulation the nodes are highlighted with a circle as illustrated

below

a The Articulating Angle value for the trailer of a multi-unit vehicle is displayed and dynamically updated in the Path control dialog box Select the appropriate trailer from the drop down arrow to the right of the Articulating Angle

D Corner Path Sections

a When editing a corner path section the corner radius can be adjusted by moving the cursor towards or away from the center of the arc The two end nodes will be highlighted when making revisions of this type

E Notes and Limitations

a Changes are limited by the vehicles turn limitations and speed b The vehicle must pass through all original nodes This may result in large fluctuations if the

vehicle is in continuous motion traveling faster than a very slow speed or if the existing nodes are relatively close together This may be alleviated to some extent by making relatively small alternating adjustments to adjacent nodes

c Performance may be sluggish for longer simulations if the editing is being done near the beginning of the simulation This is because all the sections after the edit point must be continuously regenerated as the mouse is moved

d The vehicle angle at the start position is fixed however the start position may be moved e The vehicle angle at the end position of the simulation is not fixed however its range of

variation is limited to 60 degrees from its original angle

k In the Draw Options box select the check boxes for each element and type of radius dimension to be drawn

l Click Place m Left click a point in the drawing at which to place the template

Note

bull The program will prompt the user in the event that the designated sweep angle is beyond what the vehicle is capable of negotiating

bull The following envelopes must be enabled in the Envelopes category of the Properties dialog box to display the corresponding radii dimensions (see Properties -gt Envelopes Category)

bull Curb to Curb requires the Front Tires envelope bull Wall to Wall requires the Vehicle Body envelope bull Inner Turn requires the Rear Tires envelope

C Draw Options

a In the Draw Options box on the lower portion of the Generate Template dialog box the check boxes are used to designate which elements will be drawn The pull down menus in the column under the Color heading are used to designate the color each element will be drawn and the pull down menu under the Line Style heading is used to designate the line style of each element

Select this check box to have the following elements drawn when the template is

placed Center Line The vertical and horizontal center lines Notes The vehicles name and library the units the template was created with the steering

lock angle of the vehicle and the sweep line descriptions Arrows The sweep labels Dimensions The vehicles dimensions Scale Bar A scale bar (expressed in the units the template was created with) Achieved Angle Table

The achieved angle table

D Generate Template vs SmartPath Tools

b Standard templates published by most jurisdictions consist of simple tangent and arc paths Rate of wheel turn is not usually considered The SmartPath Tools such as Generate Arc Path and Generate Corner Path take into account the rate at which the wheel can be turned and incorporate spiral transition sections into the path For this reason the SmartPath Tools cannot be used to create standard turning templates


Appendix A

Place Adaptive Simulation

Select (left click) each line and arc element of the simulation path alignment then left click in an empty area away from the graphics If the alignment is a complex chain click near the beginning (Do not use line strings or a combination of complex chains and individual elements andor line strings)

Left click to select each alignment element

Left click in an empty area away from graphics


Centered Option

Offset option

The Place Adaptive Simulation tool allows for simulations to be centered about an alignment (in the event that the user copies the edge of pavement to the center of the travel lane for use as a simulation path alignment) or offset from an alignment (in the event that the user offsets a simulation path from the edge of pavement)


Each element is highlighted upon selection

Selected element


A circle and an arrowhead appear at the ends of the simulation path alignment to define its extents when selection is complete


The simulated vehicle and envelop appear as designated in the Properties dialog box after selecting the alignment (see Properties in the Settings section)


Left click the Run Animation icon left click on the simulation to select it and left click the play button in the Run Animation dialog box to activate the animation

Play Button


Appendix B


Left click on the location where the center of the front axle will be located when the simulation begins

Center of Travel Lane


Move the cursor from the start position in the direction the vehicle will travel during the simulation until the vehicle is pointed in the appropriate direction The vehicle will rotate as the cursor is moved so that the location of the cursor establishes the start angle (direction)

Set the appropriate Speed Radius and Sweep Angle as needed The four buttons at the top of the SmartPath Tools window may be used to change from the Generate Corner Path tool to the Generate Arc Path tool Oversteer Corner Simulation or Steer A Path tools while delineating the various segments of a simulation


Click on a point in the travel lane into which the vehicle will be turning to generate a corner path simulation Right click to finish generating the simulation


Appendix C

Oversteer Corner Simulation






Right click to finish generating the simulation


Appendix D






For vehicles with trailers click inside the trailer to indicate that you want to set the trailer start angle and move the cursor to the point at which the trailer is at the appropriate angle

In the SmartPath Tools dialog box ensure that Centerline is selected Key in the speed in accordance with the project design criteria


Click on points along the centerline of the proposed vehicle path to generate the simulation Right click to finish generating the simulation


Appendix E

Reverse Simulations

Click the Place Adaptive Simulation icon on the AUTOTURN toolbar

Click on the alignment (complex chain or segments) that delineates the proposed vehicle path

Click OK to accept the Centered Simulation Type and click OK


The vehicle envelope will appear with the vehicle at each end

Click the Continue Simulation icon on the AUTOTURN toolbar or menu


Select the Continue Simulation mode and select a point on the vehicle
