SortedSet<HeadwayGTU>	getFirstFollowers(LateralDirectionality lat)	Set of followers on a lane, which is usually 0 or 1, but possibly more in case of an upstream merge with no intermediate GTU.

Method Detail

getFirstLeaders

SortedSet<HeadwayGTU> getFirstLeaders(LateralDirectionality lat)
                               throws org.opentrafficsim.base.parameters.ParameterException,
                                      NullPointerException,
                                      IllegalArgumentException

Set of leaders on a lane, which is usually 0 or 1, but possibly more in case of a downstream split with no intermediate GTU. This is shown below. Suppose A needs to go straight. If A considers a lane change to the left, both GTUs B (who's tail ~ is still on the straight lane) and C need to be considered for whether it's safe to do so. In case of multiple splits close to one another, the returned set may contain even more than 2 leaders. Leaders are sorted by headway value.

Only vehicles who's rear is beyond the own front are considered, no alongside vehicles.

Parameters:

lat - LateralDirectionality; LEFT or RIGHT

Returns:

list of followers on a lane

Throws:

org.opentrafficsim.base.parameters.ParameterException - if parameter is not defined

NullPointerException - if lat is null

IllegalArgumentException - if lat is NONE

getFirstFollowers

SortedSet<HeadwayGTU> getFirstFollowers(LateralDirectionality lat)
                                 throws org.opentrafficsim.base.parameters.ParameterException,

Set of followers on a lane, which is usually 0 or 1, but possibly more in case of an upstream merge with no intermediate GTU. This is shown below. If A considers a lane change to the left, both GTUs B and C need to be considered for whether it's safe to do so. In case of multiple merges close to one another, the returned set may contain even more than 2 followers. Followers are sorted by tailway value.

Whether there is a GTU alongside, i.e. with overlap, in an adjacent lane.

Parameters:

lat - LateralDirectionality; LEFT or RIGHT

Returns:

whether there is a GTU alongside, i.e. with overlap, in an adjacent lane

Throws:

getLeaders

PerceptionCollectable<HeadwayGTU,LaneBasedGTU> getLeaders(RelativeLane lane)

Set of leaders on a lane, including adjacent GTU's who's FRONT is ahead of the own vehicle FRONT. Leaders are sorted by headway value.

Parameters:

lane - RelativeLane; relative lateral lane

Returns:

set of leaders on a lane, including adjacent GTU's who's FRONT is ahead of the own vehicle FRONT

getFollowers

PerceptionCollectable<HeadwayGTU,LaneBasedGTU> getFollowers(RelativeLane lane)

Set of followers on a lane, including adjacent GTU's who's FRONT is back of the own vehicle FRONT. Follower are are sorted by distance.

Parameters:

lane - RelativeLane; relative lateral lane

Returns:

set of followers on a lane, including adjacent GTU's who's FRONT is back of the own vehicle FRONT
