Transoft Solutions, developers of industry leading CAD software for the global transportation engineering community, is set to release TORUS Roundabouts 3.0 in mid November. As the premier geometric design solution for modern roundabouts, TORUS continues its ongoing evolution by adding integration with SIDRA INTERSECTION 5.1 for capacity analysis. Users can now synchronize key geometric data and import capacity analysis information (fuel consumption, emission, costs, delay, capacity, speed, volume and queue) into TORUS.

To support the new TORUS launch, Transoft Solutions, in conjunction with SIDRA Solutions, will be conducting a live online presentation on Wednesday, November 16th 2011, 12:00 pm (2:00 pm CST/3:00 pm EST). Steven Chan, P. Eng., Product Development Engineer at Transoft Solutions and Dr. Rahmi Akcelik, Director of SIDRA SOLUTIONS will be hosting the event together. Individuals wishing to attend can visit www.transoftsolutions.com to register.

Dr. Akcelik of SIDRA SOLUTIONS had this to say about the software’s extended capabilities, “With the upcoming version of TORUS Roundabouts being launched, which links to the latest SIDRA INTERSECTION 5.1 software, users can now design roundabouts and carry out intersection capacity and performance evaluation in an integrated process. Along with Transoft Solutions, we here at SIDRA SOLUTIONS are extremely proud to be able to offer superior methodologies to governmental and consulting engineering clients who play an active role in the transportation sector around the world.”

“In TORUS 3.0, it’s about adding another dimension to roundabout design and making the design process more effective”, said Steven Chan,  “By working with SIDRA SOLUTIONS, capacity analysis is now factored into the geometric design. Our vision is to bridge the gap between capacity analysis and geometric design. It works remarkably well whether it’s one designer handling both capacity analysis and geometric design, or multiple engineers collaborating their efforts.”

In addition to the new SIDRA integration, TORUS Roundabouts 3.0 also includes new and improved features such as polyline and complex chain support for the use in roundabout geometry, a new area estimation report to check the total amount of space taken up by a new roundabout site plan, a new sightline that shows the driver’s angle of visibility for checking oncoming traffic, and dynamic grip-point control over the orientation of the approach leg.
