For the simulation of the vehicle swept paths, the template of a 99th percentile vehicle
(B99) was used (in line with the dimensions specified in AS 2890.1-2004). Figure 8 shows
this template which represents the largest passenger vehicle size in Australia (typically
an SUV or a similar vehicle).

The swept path results are presented in Appendix B of this report. It is noted that the
Blue and Cyan colour lines in the swept paths indicate the front and rear tyre tracks of
the vehicle, respectively, while the Black colour of the swept paths indicates the vehicle
body (the Green colour line indicated the centreline of the swept path while the dashed
Red colour lines indicate the 300mm vehicle body clearance envelop).

From the swept path results, the following can be concluded:

   1) A large passenger vehicle can turn around at the end of the car parking aisle,
       using the turning bay, to exit the site in forward gear when all other car spaces
       are occupied.
   2) Except for the cornermost caretaker’s car space, the other spaces can be
       accessed without any additional corrections. This level of maneuverability is
       considered typical and acceptable for a car park of this size (the user of the
       caretaker’s car space will be a regular user who is familiar with the parking
       layout).
