Car turning circles or paths

[Doug Crawford]

Does anyone know of a program that will show vehicle paths once start and end locations of vehicles are entered?

 

I have a restricted area and wish to know if a vehicle will bew able to turn around in this area.

autoturn. Search for that on the web.

Alternatively try AutoTrack by Savoy, admittedly this may prove the expensive option.

 

Do a search here for CADTools, which one of the forum users is either involved in or an evangelist for. It's a free utility and I'm pretty sure it includes tracking facilities.

AutoTurn or AutoTrack will both do it. It isn't quite as much of an automatic process as you described although it is a fairly painless process to do it.

Try the Swedish company Glamsen, they have a collection of free tools called CADTools that includes a module with a lot of standard vehicle turning circles for AutoCAD. You set your path as a polyline and it drawa the swept path, with quite a few other options. If your vehicle ist not in their list you can define your own vehicle. I'm not sure if it can deal with three point turns though.
