Vehicle Dimension dialog

The Vehicle Dimension window allows you to set the dimensions for various vehicle types.

There are 14 standard vehicle types, which can be used to define most standard vehicles. You can have more than one vehicle in the group file from the same vehicle type, as long as each vehicle name is unique. These vehicle types, dictate the format of the vehicle dimension options, as well as the simulation process.

All the dimensions, as well as the Vehicle Name, can be edited and will be stored in the Vehicle Group File when you click OK. When changing the Vehicle name, you can either change the name of the current vehicle, or create a new vehicle with the changed name.

The 13 vehicle types can be sub-divided into five main groups - Single Unit Vehicles, Articulated Vehicles, Vehicles with full trailers, Vehicles with semi-trailers and Aircraft.
