Simulate long trailer cornering with CornerWIN
CornerWIN enables advanced cornering simulations for trailer compositions. That is the main purpose of CornerWIN, but it can also serve as a tool for architects to verify driveability on loading areas and parking slots for trucks and combinations giving them correct view of the possible problems in early stage of planning process. Thus, it is developed for truck and trailer building companies, special transport companies, architects building parking areas, loading areas and other roads when they need to be sure truck combinations can access.

Finland uses CornerWIN to make state regulations
For example, CornerWIN was the saver of the day in Finland when the legislation for 34,5-meter road trains was being made. Dozens of simulations were made for various trailer combinations upon which the final legislation for High Capacity Transport combinations was made.

“But our work is different…”
If the title sentence above crossed your mind, take into account that CornerWIN covers tones of different trailer combinations, models and even roads. As a matter of fact, you can upload your own map in the system while simulating so precision and validity is secured. CornerWIN also gives possibility to do simulations with road trains with 3-trailers (B-triple, AB-triple and C-train combinations). The software is also state sensitive. That means that companies exporting to countries like Sweden and Finland can find the specific turning regulations in the CornerWIN. For example, Sweden 90° street corner test, Finnish 120° turning regulations for combinations over 25,25m, 120° special transport turning simulations to be able to verify that the combination will fill the requirement regarding turning and alike.

How easy is it to implement?
CornerWIN is software you purchase the license for. Thus, it works seamlessly with TrailerWIN. But, you can use it a stand-alone software as well – CornerWIN has a database of most common trailer combinations so you can just select it from the list.

Turning simulations in CornerWIN

  • Turning in EU-circle (12,5 m circle)
  • Turning in 120°, 180°arc in 12,5m circle (and any other circle radius)
  • Driving in continuous circle
    90° rectangular corner (Swedish rule)
  • Turning in 360° arc
  • Turning in arc, with chosen angle and radius
  • Pull feature which allows you to drive the combination with your mouse in different street situations.
  • Possibility to add own DXF-drawings as street- or yardview and do turning simulations directly on the drawing.

Transfer vehicle data from TrailerWIN
When you build up a truck or a truck with trailer(s) in TrailerWIN you can launch CornerWIN from the TrailerWIN menu. This way the data from the actual calculation will automatically be transferred into CornerWIN for direct access for a driving simulation. The possibility to transfer the TrailerWIN combination directly into CornerWIN eliminates errors since no data needs to be entered manually, it also makes the work process smoother and faster.

Combinations in CornerWIN
In CornerWIN you can choose from a number of pre-defined combinations with more axles and also special transport trailers with up to 15 all-steer axles. The steering geometry can be modified directly in CornerWIN in many different ways. You will also have access to different types of Road Train combinations like AB-Triple, B-Triple and C-Train, see Outprint Examples for more details.

Printing and exporting the simulation
From CornerWIN You can print out the turning simulation with calculation data, take the simulation onto clipboard to easily add to own documents or export the simulation to other CAD-programs with DXF-output feature.
