FAQ

What is Swept Path Analysis?

Swept path analysis is a technique, commonly used in engineering and urban planning, to determine the path that a vehicle or other object will take as it moves through a particular area. It is often used to assess whether a vehicle can navigate through a given space without encountering obstacles or causing conflicts. Our software takes into account the dimensions of your vehicle or vehicle combo, its turning radius, and other factors to simulate its movement and identify potential issues such as collisions, tight turns, or insufficient clearance.

How accurate will this be?

Your vehicle will be scaled accurately on the road you place it in the satellite image, to within a few inches of it’s real world scale at that same location. Our software replicates the real world turn characteristics of your vehicle by taking several factors into account in addition to it’s specific dimensions, including number of axles, placement of axles, wheelbase, tire diameter, and hitch location if towing. This results in an accurate representation of the turn your vehicle will make if driven the same way.

How many turns can I perform or analyze using this software?

With an active subscription, you can perform an unlimited amount of turn maneuvers for each vehicle combo in your plan.

What is a vehicle combo?

A vehicle combo is when you are towing something. For example, a pickup truck + RV travel trailer or 5th wheel, motorhome + tow vehicle, or truck + trailer.

Can I do forward AND reverse turn maneuvers?

Yes

What if I don't see my vehicle type in your questionnaire?

We are working on adding different classes of vehicles. If you don’t see your specific type listed in our questionnaire, then reach out to us here. We may be able to use a substitute with the options available, or let you know when that vehicle class may be available in the future.

What am I able to do in the free trial?

The free trial will allow you to test out the software using a pre-determined vehicle. You’ll be able to perform turns at any location with this vehicle. It will give you a very good idea of how it functions and how you’ll be able to use it for your own vehicle(s).
