It will also be necessary to clear an area appropriate for the transit of the blade tip (outside the bend, cyan line in the drawing) and for the truck body (inside the bend, green line in the drawing).įigure 1: Standard wind farm internal road bend If the tractor unit follows a path in the center of the road, the rear wheels (orange lines in the drawings) will need an additional road widening both before the beginning of the bend and inside the bend. In the next image the trajectory of the different components of the truck in a bend with reduced radius are detailed.

Simulating software are great because they use real word data: the trucks are equipped with GPS equipment and the movements of the vehicle is registered and transformed in an algorithm that allow to replicate it in your AutoCAD project, with realistic results and cost effective solutions.

Use of real wheels independent control.

Different possible trajectories chosen by the driver.

Type of vehicle (number of wheels, center of turning circle, dimensions).

Bend radius: smaller radii means greater widening.

Angle between entry and exit tangent of the bend: the lesser the angle, the bigger the widening.

The point is that there are too many variables to simplify the problem and give a single "one size fits all" value: I suggest using a commercial software such as AutoTURN to estimate the actual additional road widening needed, because the tables provided by wind turbine manufacturers are almost invariably inaccurate and often based on wrong hypothesis.

Normally the biggest problems come with the blades. One of the problems frequently found in wind farm project and construction is that road bends with a reduced radius often needs an additional widening to allow the passage of the trucks with the WTGs components.
