Swept Path Analyses & Vehicle Manoeuvreing Diagrams

Swept Path Analyses simulate the movement of design vehicles through site driveways, parking areas, loading zones, and roadways to confirm that geometric layouts can safely accommodate intended users. Using industry-standard software such as AutoTURN, our engineers model a wide range of vehicles, including passenger cars, single-unit trucks, WB-20 tractor-trailers, fire and emergency response vehicles, waste collection trucks, and transit buses, in accordance with Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) design vehicle dimensions and municipal standards.

These analyses are commonly required by Canadian municipalities as part of Site Plan Approval submissions to demonstrate adequate vehicular access, maneuverability, and emergency service accessibility. Prepared under the direction of a licensed Professional Engineer, swept path drawings are reviewed by municipal planning, engineering, fire services, and waste management departments to confirm compliance with applicable design standards. Our team integrates swept path analysis early in the design process, identifying conflicts and refining site geometry before formal submission to streamline the approval process.
