Frequently asked questionsabout Swept Path Analysis SoftwareSwept Path Analysis calculates and examines the behavior of a moving vehicle, with all its parts, during turning maneuvers. This is required to determine whether the surrounding infrastructure provides the vehicle enough space to navigate through safely. See more explanation here.
Swept path analysis works by using simulation tools to model how a vehicle moves through a space based on its size, turning radius, and manoeuvring behaviour. It visually shows whether the vehicle can safely navigate a layout without hitting kerbs, lanes, or obstacles, helping identify issues before construction. See more explanation here.
Engineers and planners use swept path analysis software to simulate vehicle movements and check that designs can safely accommodate vehicles through turns, intersections, parking areas and tight spaces. It helps ensure safety and efficiency, supports compliance with design standards, and identifies layout issues early so projects avoid costly changes later. See more explanation here.
Swept path analysis software can simulate a wide range of vehicles, including passenger cars, delivery vans, rigid trucks, articulated trucks, buses, emergency vehicles, and specialised vehicles such as waste trucks or construction equipment. Many tools also allow custom vehicle creation to match local standards or project-specific requirements.
The Vehicle Library is a built-in database of predefined vehicle models used in swept path analysis software. It contains detailed vehicle dimensions and turning characteristics, allowing users to select accurate vehicle types (such as cars, trucks, buses, or specialised vehicles) to simulate realistic movements and ensure design compliance and safety. RapidPath includes an up-to-date vehicle library covering multiple countries and standards. You can view the available countries here.
No, you don't need a CAD application to use RapidPath – it's a standalone desktop application. Simply complete the request a quote form and a sales representative will send you information for purchasing a license.
We have two commercial licensing options available:
| Single-Machine Licenses are per end-user machine. If you want to run RapidPlan on two computers, two licenses are required. |
| Multi-Machine Licenses enable you to download the software onto any number of machines (including a network) and register multiple users. Users can only access the product simultaneously based on the number of purchased licenses (or "seats"). For example, if you purchase one license, only one registered person can access RapidPath at any given time. |
| Minimum software requirements: |

| Basic hardware requirements: |
NOTE: For a comfortable experience when editing complex plans, you will need a more modern hardware configuration. |
Yes, RapidPath Multi-Machine licenses support server installation.
Yes, we have monthly and annual education subscriptions available. This provides access to the full featured software, at a discounted rate. Contact your nearest office for instructions on purchasing an education license. Please note that RapidPath education licenses cannot be used to produce commercial plans and include an unobtrusive watermark on the background of exported/printed documents.
RapidPath and RapidPath Online are both used for performing swept path analysis, but they are different products. The product best suited to your needs depends on the complexity of your plans and how frequently you produce them.
| RapidPath | RapidPath is a desktop application. It’s full-featured software, ideal for preparing swept path analyses regardless of their level of complexity. |
| RapidPath Online | RapidPath Online is a web-based application, ideal for small-to-medium businesses with the occasional need for plans of low-to-medium complexity. |
RapidPath Online has been built to operate on all current web browsers (i.e., Chrome, Edge, Safari, Firefox).
For optimal performance, we recommend using Google Chrome.
