We study uniformly distributed direction of motion at finite speed where the direction alternations occur according to the renewal epochs of a K-Erlang pdf. At first sight, our generalizations of previous Markovian results appears to be a small step, however, it must be seen as an important non-Markovian case where we have found closed-form expressions for the pdf and the conditional characteristic function of this semi-Markov transport process. We present detailed calculations of a three-dimensional example for the 2-Erlang case, which is important not only from physical applications point of view but also to understand more general models. For instance, in principle the example of the 2-Erlang case can be extended to a K-Erlang case (K=3,4,…) but some of the mathematical expressions may be cumbersome.
