In any case AS2890.1 is a prescriptive standard and the conditions of approval need to be reasonable and relevant. The example about 3 vehicles out of 10 sold been utes may not necessarily represent the average type of car and if it does, you may have a small battle on your hands convincing the town planners. Majority of our applications for internal parking arrangement utilise a B85 vehicle template as it is accepted to represent the average type of vehicle. As you have observed, the larger "recreational" style vehicles are now very common. We also use AS2890.1 and require B99 vehicles for multiple unit developments and submission of swept path diagrams to confirm the design. I'm interested to know what everyone else is using as I have design consultants telling me that it is unreasonable and that no-one else requires it.
#Autoturn vs autodesk vehicle tracking software
Most designers / developers want to use the B85 5.8m radius (minimum) for obvious reasons as it reduces the manoeuvring area required, but given that the top 10 cars sold in the past 3 years include 3 utes with turning radii larger than this (and our Council has a large blue-collar workforce), we have been trying to enforce the B85 8.0m radius for the garaged park and will allow the 5.8m radius for the visitor park. With AutoTURN and AutoTURN Pro, the most advanced and comprehensive swept path software available, you can easily check your site and road designs to ensure all types of vehicles can move through safely and efficiently. Our Development Plan requires each dwelling to have at least one undercover park, and one visitor park in front of this. We use AS2890.1 for any carpark banks etc, but its the single ones where they need to manoeuvre to exit in a forward motion to avoid significant reversing that we have the issues with. Wondering what vehicle and radius you are all using for turning manoeuvres for residential unit developments, battle-axe allotments etc.
