March 06, 2009 – Vancouver, BC, Canada

Transoft Solutions, industry leading developers of powerful design software for the engineering and architectural communities, has successfully launched TORUS Roundabouts 1.0, the industry’s first roundabout generating software based on swept-path movements. A series of online demonstrations for launch of this one-of-a-kind software culminated with high praises from webcast attendees and quick sales in North America as well as the Middle East, with the first purchase coming from Australia.

Following the conclusion of the first webcast (conducted on February 16th, 2009 for clients in Australia) Bill Guy & Partners Pty. Ltd., from Canberra, Australia became the first to purchase Transoft Solutions’ new roundabout design software. According to Peter van Blerk, Senior Roads Engineer for Bill Guy & Partners, “What was very prominent is that [with TORUS] the designer can easily move the roundabout to test options and save various iterations especially in the planning stages, something that can be very cumbersome and time consuming when designing using other software.”

“The idea behind TORUS was to develop a software application that increased roundabout design productivity while reducing the labor needed for project design completion,” said Noel Dolotallas, Transoft Solutions Vice President, Marketing and Sales. “With all of our presentations, we wanted to show designers the value and power of this software for all roundabout projects,”

Response from many webcast participants confirmed that the software is capable of providing everything a designer needs to effectively design roundabouts with increased time savings. George White, Senior Designer at Kimley Horn said of TORUS, “From someone who has designed around 50 of these intersections, admittedly, I was a bit sceptical when I heard about this product but after seeing what it could do and how quickly it could do it, and seeing the design is based on real design speeds, and vehicle turn radii you captured my attention.”

“We are excited by the response to our webcast and look forward to providing further demonstrations,” added Mr. Dolotallas
