I am designing haul roads for a large excavation project. I am looking for templates (or vehicle info to modify AutoTurn templates) for 15y side dump and/or 10y truck & pup. Any info or sources of information would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Scott

This is a link to the California Highway Design Manual, Section 400 - At Grade Inteersections.  There are a number of turning templates in it.... hopefully on fits your needs.

Do you know who makes the truck that you are looking for?  Typically what I do is look up the vehicle manufacturer and see if they have a web site.  Some of them will publish the trucks sizes and specifications.  Just plug that information into your AutoTURN custom template and you're off and running.

Good Luck, let me know if you have questions on that process.

UPDATE: I was able to get some "typical" dimensions from a local dealer. The difficulty lies in the fact that these trucks are pretty much all made to customer spec, so there is no "one size fits all" set of dimensions.

Thanks for your input.
