Facing These Challenges
in Your Roundabout Projects?

Time-consuming
Conceptual Process

Labor-intensive
Iterations

It’s tedious to rework manually designed roundabouts during the detailed design stage, where each iteration of geometry editing can take 4+ hours on average.

Meet TORUS
& Your Next Efficient Workflow

As a Comprehensive Solution for Roundabout Design & Analysis, TORUS delivers a complete set of tools for roundabout design at its core. It provides everything you need, from automated initial geometry to analyzing the design’s safety, and provides a solid foundation for your design.

Cut down your conceptual process
from weeks to minutes

Vehicle Envelope Method

TORUS generates the initial geometry using the vehicle swept path method, which provides immediate dimensional and analytical guidance for the ICD.

Built-in Design Guidelines

Our Design Guidelines tool controls the design vehicles, clearance offsets, and parameters for the fastest path and sight lines at the start of the roundabout design process.

3D Modeling and Grading

Create a 3D model quickly to ensure that the design intent is confirmed early in the design process by incorporating terrain elevation and the swept paths with its vehicle clearance.

Cut down time spent on iteration

Instant Conformity Notifications

Get dynamic feedback about potential design inconsistencies with instant notifications that reference built-in design guidelines.

Comprehensive Editing Tools

Drag-and-drop roundabout elements, while setting parameters and automatically updating roundabout analysis.

Design Manager

Reduce your iteration cycle and use the Design Manager to create, track, and explore more roundabout design options.

TORUS customers
have had success in:

  • Working with DOTs and municipalities to determine if a roundabout is feasible at an intersection location.
  • Designing roundabouts with confidence, even with limited or no prior roundabout project experience.

In the past, we would have likely invested 40+ hours in the roundabout geometric layout alone. Now using TORUS, we have been able to develop initial concepts in just minutes. Based upon our initial success with TORUS, we have integrated this as a standard program for our designers.

Customer: Bohannan Huston, Inc.

The ability to have the fast path update, as design modifications were made, was powerful. In moments, BHI and the review agency evaluated multiple alternatives to mitigate the constraints and resolved entry speed issues that previously seemed insurmountable. Before TORUS, such changes would normally require several hours to generate a revised roundabout layout and an additional meeting to review the results. Using TORUS, BHI could achieve a solution within the same meeting.

The project came in on time and on budget. In addition to providing the client with a viable solution, the overall time savings on the project resulted in Watt Consulting receiving even more work from the client.

Customer: Watt Consulting

With TORUS it was possible to easily analyze path overlap and design entry and exit speeds. It gave me a good idea of right of way requirements right from the start.

Customer: Watt Consulting

With TORUS doing the calculations for me, I tell the program I want to change from one alignment to another and it takes me three clicks on the mouse. I clear up the error messages I get and I’m done.

Customer: Rebecca Ferguson, Landmark Consulting

The county is adamant that we maintain FHWA standards, so it’s nice that TORUS allows me to set the setback of any of the crosswalks. I just plug that into what the FHWA minimum is and work with that.
