Class HeadwayDistance

java.lang.Object
org.opentrafficsim.road.gtu.lane.perception.headway.HeadwayDistance
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<Headway>, org.opentrafficsim.base.Identifiable, PerceivedObject, Headway
public class HeadwayDistance extends Object implements Headway
Container for a reference to information about a headway with just a distance, without any further information about the object; it assumes a speed of 0 at the headway, so it also good to store information about a lane drop. The reason for storing a speed of zero at the end of a maximum headway is that we did not check the conditions beyond that point. A GTU or lane drop could be right behind the last point we checked.
