Swept Path Analysis

oversize load & superload

simulation with swept path analysis software

A swept path analysis software depicts an oversize load configuration per dimensional data supplied by the carrier or freight broker in a specific simulation software. 

At WCS Permits & Pilot Cars, we utilize swept path analysis software to provide validity to a trucking or freight company that a particular oversize load or superload can safely transport on a specific route.  

What swept path analysis does:

Swept path software (like AutoTURN or similar tools) simulates how a large vehicle moves, especially:

  • Turning radius

  • Off-tracking (rear wheels cutting inside the front path)

  • Clearance from curbs, utility poles, bridges, etc.

This is critical for oversize loads that may not fit standard roadway geometry.

How WCS permits useS it:

To further support our customers, WCS provides a customized video for each swept path analysis project. These videos, as shown below, visually demonstrate the swept path analysis results for the specific load and route, giving clients clear, confident verification that their shipment can be transported safely. For oversize load and superload permitting, swept path analysis is used by WCS to:

  • Demonstrate route feasibility (prove the load can physically make turns)

  • Support route requests that deviate from standard approved corridors

  • Justify movement through tight intersections, ramps, or urban areas

  • Obstruction avoidance identifies spots where the load must bypass bridges, use oncoming lanes, or require traffic control 
 

  • Show encroachments into opposing lanes or shoulders (if needed
