Robert Green over at cadalyst asks the question, is a laptop a suitable CAD workstation? Laptops have come a long way since Compaq and Apple's first offerings in the late 1980's, now many of them offer an impressive list of hardware that makes them a truly viable option as a workstation. Examining the divide further, Green even tells you how to make the call on whether a laptop is the right kind of hardware to do your CAD work on. Read his article (here)
Transoft Solutions' Senior Engineer, Daniel Shihundu, P.Eng., has recently had his technical paper on the research, development, and workflow of the TORUS software published.
"Few motorists will appreciate the process that underpins the operational and safety benefits inherent in good roundabout design. High quality design promotes safer driving with improved traffic flow. It is a delicate balance between traffic capacity and physical geometry. This paper summarises the typical roundabout design process with regard to the inter- relationship between layout and traffic speed. Field research conducted in the development of a new dynamic and integrated approach is described with the work flow for one practical modern solution."

On August 18th, 2009, Transoft Solutions' Senior Engineer Daniel Shihundu, P.Eng., MBA., MIHT, (pictured on the left) was a presenter at the University of Florida & The Center for Multimodal Solutions for Congestion Mitigation's roundabout workshop. Daniel discussed roundabout design using TORUS, the work flow, and how TORUS saves designers time without sacrificing details during the roundabout design process.
