Swept Path Analysis in Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane & Sydney. At the forefront of carrying out Swept Path Analysis, Quantum Traffic ensures your car park, intersection, road or roundabout is functional and complies with the relevant Planning Scheme/Australian standard requirements.
What is Swept Path Analysis?
Swept Path analysis is the detailed inspection of the movement undergone by a vehicle whilst undertaking the process of turning or steering.
The information collected by a Swept Path analysis is then calculated to understand the exact path a vehicle takes when completing a turn and how much space is required to safely complete the turn.
Quantum Traffic completes this analysis using the latest version of AutoTURN Pro software, to generate accurate Swept Path diagrams and detailed reports to determine the suitability of your design.
When is Swept Path Analysis Needed?
Designing safe and functional car parks
Swept Path Analysis is a vital diagnostic process used to virtually demonstrate the layout of a car park design. The vehicle Swept Path Analysis assesses and calculates the functionality of a car park design early so that any changes can be made in a prompt manner. A professional Swept Path analysis will ensure that vehicles can manoeuvre safely within the proposed area.
Quantum Traffic’s AutoTURN Pro software is equipped with technologies that illustrate the movement of different vehicle types. This technology produces various turning circle diagrams and turning circle radius’ for a range of vehicles, to ensure a full picture of the proposed design is available. We offer Swept Path Analysis Services in Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne.
Ensuring Adherence to Planning Scheme/Australian Standard Requirements
The Planning Scheme and Australian Standard Requirements are rigorous to ensure the safety of drivers. The requirements of the national, state and local council must be adhered to before development can begin.
Before commencing the build of new car park infrastructure, local councils and road authorities will request the information provided by a Swept Path analysis. This information must prove that the planned car park layout can accommodate the movement of the various vehicles that are expected to use the facilities.

FAQ
What is a Swept Path Analysis?
A Swept Path Analysis (or turning circle diagram/turning circle analysis) is a computer assisted technical drawing that graphically plots the movements of a designated vehicle (e.g., a service truck, emergency vehicle, or residential car) to ensure it can enter, manoeuver, and exit a site safely and conveniently.
What vehicle standards do you use for analysis?
Quantum Traffic typically use the vehicle dimensions and turning radii specified in AS2890 (Parts 1, 2, and 6), but Quantum Traffic will also use specific Council or Road Authority standards for larger vehicles (e.g., an 10m Dennis Eagle waste truck for example).
What is Swept Path Analysis?
A Swept Path Analysis (or turning circle diagram/turning circle analysis) is a computer assisted technical drawing that graphically plots the movements of a designated vehicle (e.g., a service truck, emergency vehicle, or residential car) to ensure it can enter, manoeuver, and exit a site safely and conveniently.
What is the main purpose of a Swept Path Analysis?
Its main purpose is to ensure that a proposed car park, road, intersection, or roundabout is functional for its intended users and complies with all relevant local authority and Australian Standard requirements.
When is a Swept Path Analysis typically needed for a project?
It is a vital diagnostic process used when designing safe and functional car parks, or when a local council or road authority requests proof that a planned layout can accommodate the expected vehicle movements.
What kind of infrastructure requires Swept Path Analysis?
This analysis is necessary for the design of car parks (including internal circulation and access points), intersections, roads, and roundabouts to assess the movement of vehicles through the design.
What software does Quantum Traffic use to perform the analysis?
Quantum Traffic use the latest version of AutoTURN Pro software. This generates accurate Swept Path diagrams and detailed reports to determine the suitability of your design.
How does Swept Path Analysis help in the design process?
It allows the functionality of a design to be assessed virtually, ensuring that vehicles can manoeuvre safely and allowing any necessary changes to be made promptly before construction begins.
Can the analysis accommodate different types of vehicles?
Yes. The AutoTURN Pro software is equipped to illustrate the movement of different vehicle types (e.g., standard cars, delivery trucks, garbage trucks, articulated buses), producing turning circle diagrams for a full picture.
How does this analysis help with Planning Scheme and compliance requirements?
It provides the information required by local councils and road authorities to substantiate that the proposed layout adheres to the design standards of the national, state, and local planning requirements (DCP, Planning Scheme, Guidelines etc).
What is the benefit of choosing Quantum Traffic for this service?
Quantum Traffic use the latest software and innovative expertise to deliver cost-effective, timely, and accurate infrastructure planning, collaborating with your entire multidisciplinary team (architects, planners, etc.).
What is the final output of a Swept Path Analysis service?
The analysis results in high-quality Swept Path diagrams and a detailed written report that confirms the appropriateness of your design and its adherence to national standards.
