In Figure 14, L
s
is the minimum length for the straight motor between the two curve motors
that curve in the same direction when the width of the vehicle on the inside of the curve
exceeds the radius of the curve. L
s
can be 0, which means that there is no need for a straight
motor at that location. Use the formulas to determine the straight motor length to make sure
that the vehicle does not collide with a vehicle following it. This motor calculation excludes
the vehicle rotation as shown in Figure 11.

In Figure 15, L
s
is the minimum length for the straight motor between two curve motors that
curve in opposite directions when the width of the vehicle on the inside of either curve
exceeds the radius of the curve. L
s
can be 0, which means that there is no need for a straight
motor at that location. Use the formula to determine the straight motor length to make sure
that the vehicle does not collide with a vehicle following it. This motor calculation excludes
the vehicle rotation as shown in Figure 11.

Vehicles on Non-adjacent and Parallel Paths
Vehicles on non-adjacent and parallel paths must not be able to interfere with each other as
shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5.
