15   * Container for a reference to information about a (lane based) GTU and a headway. The Headway can store information about GTUs
16   * or objects ahead of the reference GTU, behind the reference GTU, or (partially) parallel to the reference GTU. In addition to
17   * the (perceived) headway, several other pieces of information can be stored, such as (perceived) speed, (perceived)
18   * acceleration, (perceived) turn indicators, and (perceived) braking lights. <br>
19   * Special care must be taken in curves when perceiving headway of a GTU or object on an adjacent lane.The question is whether
20   * we perceive the parallel or ahead/behind based on a line perpendicular to the front/back of the GTU (rectangular), or
21   * perpendicular to the center line of the lane (wedge-shaped in case of a curve). The difficulty of a wedge-shaped situation is
22   * that reciprocity might be violated: in case of a clothoid, for instance, it is not sure that the point on the center line
23   * when projected from lane 1 to lane 2 is the same as the projection from lane 2 to lane 1. The same holds for shapes with
24   * sharp bends. Therefore, algorithms implementing headway should only project the <i>reference point</i> of the reference GTU
25   * on the center line of the adjacent lane, and then calculate the forward position and backward position on the adjacent lane
26   * based on the reference point. Still, our human perception of what is parallel and what not, is not reflected by fractional
27   * positions. See examples in
