public class HeadwayObject extends AbstractHeadwayCopy
Container for a reference to information about a (lane based) object and a headway. The Headway can store information about objects ahead of the reference object, behind the reference object, or (partially) parallel to the reference object. In addition to the (perceived) headway, several other pieces of information can be stored, such as (perceived) speed, (perceived) acceleration, (perceived) turn indicators, and (perceived) braking lights.
Special care must be taken in curves when perceiving headway of an object on an adjacent lane.The question is whether we perceive the parallel or ahead/behind based on a line perpendicular to the front/back of the object (rectangular), or perpendicular to the center line of the lane (wedge-shaped in case of a curve). The difficulty of a wedge-shaped situation is that reciprocity might be violated: in case of a clothoid, for instance, it is not sure that the point on the center line 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 sharp bends. Therefore, algorithms implementing headway should only project the reference point of the reference object on the center line of the adjacent lane, and then calculate the forward position and backward position on the adjacent lane based on the reference point. Still, our human perception of what is parallel and what not, is not reflected by fractional positions.
