Class Platoons<T>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - type of demand category, typically a Category in an ODMatrix or a GTUType

    public abstract class Platoons<T>
    extends Object
    Connects with a lane-based GTU generator to disable it over some time and generate a platoon instead. Platoons are added as: Platoons.ofCategory(...).addPlatoon(...).addGtu(...).addGtu(...).addPlatoon(...).addGtu(...).addGtu(...).start();. Method addGtu(...) may only determine a generation time if other info is set by fixInfo(...).

    This class may be used with a LaneBasedGTUCharacteristicsGenerator or GTUCharacteristicsGeneratorOD. Use ofGtuType() or ofCategory() respectively.

                               throws SimRuntimeException
        Add a platoon. The generator is disabled during the provided time frame. Individual GTU's should be added using addGtu.
        Parameters:
        start - Time; start time
        end - Time; end time
        Returns:
        Platoons<T>; for method chaining
        Throws:
