How is it calculated?

The classic formula R + X + b + a assumes pallets as wide as the robot. With wide pallets the front pallet corner sweeps a larger arc, so its real radius is used:

Lt = √(R² − (Wv/2 + e)²)
X  = (L − Lf) − Lt + d
Rp = √((X + b)² + (Wp/2 + e)²)
Rn = √(X² + (Wp/2 + e)²)        only if X < 0
R* = max(R, Rn)

Turn  = R* + Rp + a
Line  = max(Wv, Wp) + 2·s
RASA  = max(turn, line)

R: robot turning radius · X: fork face relative to the turning center (negative when the center sits under the pallet) · e: lateral turning-center offset · a: total clearance to racks · s: side clearance per side.

Reference result. Assumes a single-motion 90° turn and the pallet pushed fully onto the forks. Validate the final layout with the robot manufacturer.
