Answer: The standard design vehicles provided with AutoTURN have turn limitations derived from the turning templates contained in the Design Manuals published by the corresponding jurisdictions (e.g. AAHSTO WB-62). The primary purpose of these design manuals is to provide guidance for typical road design conditions. Consequently, in some cases the standard vehicles may have turning circles that are too large for situations where tight maneuvering is required, such as in loading areas or parking facilities. In these cases, it may be necessary to create user defined vehicles and provide turn limitations that allow the tighter, more realistic minimum turning circles.
