1. General product information
1.1 What is Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2015 software?
On November 7, 2013, Autodesk announced the availability of Autodesk
®
Vehicle Tracking 2015 software. The software is a
comprehensive transportation analysis and design solution for vehicle swept path analysis that enables engineers, designers, and
planners at government agencies and engineering consulting firms working on transportation or site design projects to predictably
evaluate vehicle movements.
1.2 What are the key benefits of using Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2015?
The benefits of the software include the ability to:
• Integrate planning and design processes with analysis and simulation within a familiar Autodesk
®
AutoCAD
®
environment,
making planning and design processes faster
• More quickly evaluate 3D models of alternatives in order to optimize designs
1.3 What types of projects does this product support?
The software can validate designs for roundabouts, intersections, parking lots, airports, light railway, loading and access facilities, and
campuses as well as predict movements of oversize vehicles. For information on specific features and capabilities, visit the Autodesk
Vehicle Tracking product center or contact your Autodesk Reseller.
1.4 How does Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2015 differ from other products in the market?
Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2015 provides the following differentiators:
• Tight integration within Autodesk
®
AutoCAD
®
Civil 3D
®
2014 and 2015 software, including 3D surface tracking and native civil
object creation
• Vehicle animations that can follow 3D surfaces to test for vertical clearance requirements
• Features that help users more easily analyze and visualize the movements of steered vehicles, light rail vehicles, and aircraft,
as well as design car parking areas and roundabouts within a drafting (AutoCAD
®
software) or design (Autodesk
®
AutoCAD
®
Civil 3D
®
software) environment
• The ability to more quickly evaluate 3D models of alternatives in order to optimize designs such as roundabouts, intersections,
and loading bays to support safety and standards compliance
1.5 Is this new product based on technologies Autodesk acquired from Savoy Computing Services Limited?
Yes, Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2015 is based on technology assets, including AutoTrack, acquired from U.K.-based Savoy Computing
Services Limited. More information on the technology acquisition can be found here.
1.6 Is Autodesk Vehicle Tracking software licensed as separate modules, similar to the way AutoTrack was licensed before
the technology acquisition?
No, Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2015 is a single product that includes the various modules that were formerly licensed separately by
Savoy Computing Services Limited.
1.7 As a current user of one of the Savoy Computing AutoTrack modules, do I get a discount if I want to purchase a license to
the new Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2015 software?
Existing Savoy Computing customers will be offered the opportunity to license Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2015 at a promotional price.
Please contact Autodesk or an Autodesk Reseller for more information.
2. Technology
2.1 Do I need to license another Autodesk product in order to use Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2015?
The software runs on top of the AutoCAD
®
platform. In order to use Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2015 software, you must also license a
2014 or 2015 version of one of the following Autodesk AutoCAD products:
• Autodesk
®
AutoCAD
®
• Autodesk
®
AutoCAD
®
Civil 3D
®
• Autodesk
®
AutoCAD
®
Architecture
• Autodesk
®
AutoCAD
®
Plant 3D
• Autodesk
®
AutoCAD
®
Map 3D
• Autodesk
®
AutoCAD
®
Utility Design
2.2 Why do I have to use AutoCAD or an AutoCAD vertical in order to use Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2015?
The tight integration with the AutoCAD platform is critical in achieving some of the key benefits the software offers, including:
• Connecting the modeling and design processes to enable the reuse of preliminary design work in the detail design phase
• The ability to more easily consider safety factors, such as sight lines based on standard design speeds, interactively during the
design process
• Predictably evaluating the movements of steered vehicles, light rail vehicles, and aircraft, as well as designing parking areas
and intersections, using integrated analysis and simulation tools
2.3 What types of vehicles does Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2015 support?
Autodesk Vehicle Tracking 2015 supports all types of vehicles, including design standard, common, and user-defined vehicles. Vehicles
can be front or rear or 4-wheel steered and have multiple units controlled by complex steering linkages. Any vehicle movement, from a
forklift truck to an oversized wind farm transporter, can be modeled.
2.4 Do I have to run analysis in 3D?
No, you can run analysis with simple 2D drawings in addition to 3D drawings.
3. Installation, configuration, and licensing
