All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractLaneChangeModel, Altruistic, Egoistic, FixedLaneChangeModel

public interface LaneChangeModel
All lane change models must implement this interface.
TODO: Lane change models should use the perceived nearby GTUs rather than a provided list of same lane traffic, etc.

    • computeLaneChangeAndAcceleration

      LaneMovementStep computeLaneChangeAndAcceleration(LaneBasedGtu gtu, Collection<Headway> sameLaneTraffic, Collection<Headway> rightLaneTraffic, Collection<Headway> leftLaneTraffic, org.djunits.value.vdouble.scalar.Speed speedLimit, org.djunits.value.vdouble.scalar.Acceleration preferredLaneRouteIncentive, org.djunits.value.vdouble.scalar.Acceleration laneChangeThreshold, org.djunits.value.vdouble.scalar.Acceleration nonPreferredLaneRouteIncentive) throws GtuException, org.opentrafficsim.base.parameters.ParameterException, OperationalPlanException
      Compute the acceleration and lane change.
      Parameters:
      gtu - LaneBasedGtu; the GTU for which the acceleration and lane change is computed
      sameLaneTraffic - Collection<Headway>; the set of observable GTUs in the current lane (can not be null and may include the gtu)
      rightLaneTraffic - Collection<Headway>; the set of observable GTUs in the adjacent lane where GTUs should drive in the absence of other traffic (must be null if there is no such lane)
      leftLaneTraffic - Collection<Headway>; the set of observable GTUs in the adjacent lane into which GTUs should merge to overtake other traffic (must be null if there is no such lane)
      speedLimit - Speed; the local speed limit
      preferredLaneRouteIncentive - Acceleration; route incentive to merge to the adjacent lane where GTUs should drive in the absence of other traffic
      laneChangeThreshold - Acceleration; threshold that prevents lane changes that have very little benefit
      nonPreferredLaneRouteIncentive - Acceleration; route incentive to merge to the adjacent lane into which GTUs should merge to overtake other traffic
      Returns:
      LaneMovementStep; the result of the lane change and GTU following model
      Throws:
      GtuException - when the speed of the GTU can not be determined
      org.opentrafficsim.base.parameters.ParameterException - in case of a parameter problem.
      OperationalPlanException - if DefaultAlexander perception category is not present.
    • getName

      String getName()
      Return the name of this GTU following model.
      Returns:
      String; just the name of the GTU following model
    • getLongName

      String getLongName()
      Return complete textual information about this instantiation of this GTU following model.
      Returns:
      String; the name and parameter values of the GTU following model
