AutoTrack for Light Rail Design  


AutoTrack for Light Rail replaces AutoTram and models the swept paths of trams and other railed vehicles of all types. It runs alongside the popular AutoTrack for Highway Design allowing you to model your transport solutions using a single integrated suite. The software runs as an extension to industry leaders AutoCAD and MicroStation.

Features new to version 7 include:-

  • Library Explorer sorting: Customisable Library Explorer view with multi-column data sorting.
  • 3D Animation (AutoCAD only): 3D animation 'out of the box', i.e. requires no additional data entry. Works even with vehicles you create yourself.
  • Support for AutoCAD 2006 and derivatives: AutoTrack detects AutoCAD 2008 and automatically installs support for it in Express mode. Derivative products are supported in Custom mode.
  • Report Wizard: A new Report Wizard makes it even easier to get your output looking the way you want it.
  • Settings Wizard: A Settings Wizard makes it easier to find the most commonly used settings.

Other features:-

  • Multi-platform support: AutoTrack is available for AutoCAD R14, 2000, 2000i, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008, Map R2, R3, R4, R5, 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008, Land Development Desktop 1, 2, 2i, 3, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008, Architectural Desktop 1, 2, 3, 3.3, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008, MicroStation 95, SE, J & v8 on Windows 98, NT, 2000, ME & XP. AutoTrack will also run with any version of AutoCAD LT using the stand-alone version that is also supplied.
  • Stand-alone version: AutoTrack is also supplied as a stand-alone product that requires neither AutoCAD nor MicroStation.
  • Intergrated environment: Runs alongside AutoTrack for Highway Design and AutoTrack for Airport Design.
  • Advanced driving algorithms: The path generation algorithm includes a time element that allows it to generate accurate swept paths at selected speeds.
  • Dynamic manoeuvre checking: Built-in checks prevent the user from inadvertantly exceeding the vehicle limitations.
  • Extensive vehicle library: AutoTrack comes complete with over 120 aircraft and ground support vehicles as well as all the design vehicles supplied with the highway design edition.
  • Two vehicle editors: Built in vehicle creation and editing facilities allow similar trams to be copied and then edited but also prevents the user from editing base library vehicles. Special Tram body shape type to make vehicle definition even faster.
  • Scale vehicle diagram: An enhanced true scale, dimensioned vehicle diagram is presented for all vehicles including user-defined vehicles. The diagram can be inserted in the drawing.
  • Support for complex vehicles: AutoTrack is able to model all forms of tram including those that incorporate suspended units. Body outlines for all units can be imported in a single operation.
  • Guided Drive: A special drive mode that tracks light rail carriages accurately along a predefined path.
  • Verical Clearance mode: Unique Vertical Clearance drive mode for checking headroom and ground clearance.
  • Dynamic Editing: unique interactive tool to edit the alignment of swept paths by dragging. Again, checks are performed to prevent impossible paths. 
  • Dynamic Reporting: means that reports appear automatically as soon as you finish your path. Once generated, you can change the presentation format for any report without having to first delete old reports. Reports available for static motion envelope as well as clearance envelope and pantograph. 
  • Customisable: All settings, including report content, colours and line styles can be edited and saved as defaults saving time on future projects.
  • Portable: Data import / export to move AutoTrack data between host CAD system.
  • Licences: Single user or network licences available.
