The Definitive Software for Modern Roundabout Planning and Design

Take the creation of single and multilane roundabouts to another level of productivity with full control and feedback during the roundabout design process. Designing optimal roundabouts that meet traffic operations and safety objectives has never been easier.

Revolution in design for exceptional engineering

Powered by the trusted AutoTURN engine, TORUS uses the patent pending Vehicle Envelope Method of design to generate roundabout geometry with vehicle swept paths. This innovative approach allows for real-time, interactive designing and dynamically updates any changes made to the entire roundabout layout. Engineers with all levels of roundabout design experience will find TORUS invaluable for projects throughout the feasibility, preliminary, and planning stages.

What's New: Improved Design Intelligence

The new release of TORUS adds engineering intelligence to the design. Iteration cycles are reduced, making for faster and more reliable results in the design of roundabouts.

Leg Biarc Entry category allows viewing and editing of the approach leg offsets and radii biarc entry’s path start, radius, and secondary radius.
Addition of new offsets including: Median Offset split into Entry Median Offset and Exit Median Offset; Edge Offset split into Entry Edge Offset and Exit Edge Offset.
Draw grading model to represent the roundabout’s crown alignments and cross slopes.
Ensure drainage patterns work within the roundabout layout.
Check grading values for: Maximum Cross-Slope percentage; Minimum Alignment Slope percentage; and Contour Line Resolution value.
Support for regional roundabout design standard guidelines including UK, France, and Germany.
Vehicle entry speed (V1a) into a roundabout is now calculated to approximate the entry speed based on deceleration rate specified in the design guideline.

TORUS Benefits and Advantages

Enter a roundabout revolution

TORUS was developed over a course of 2 years by Transoft Solutions’ team of engineers working tightly with our software developers. Meticulous research went into the planning of TORUS involving both GPS field studies to support the algorithm development and continuous software testing to ensure quality and performance.

Patent pending technology

TORUS delivers a truly unique, time-saving, and productivity accelerating approach to designing roundabouts. Incorporating the AutoTURN engine, TORUS uses vehicle swept path movements and speed as the design criteria.

TORUS ‘drives’ the vehicles through the roundabout (applying the design guidelines for each major geometric element) to determine the layout as opposed to conventional manual methods where the design is first drawn and then checked using vehicle templates. As well, any changes the designer makes are automatically updated and applied to the entire roundabout.
