15   * 'car-following model' is the commonly used and therefore intuitive name, but in actuality it is much more.
16   * <ul>
17   * <li>Following other vehicle types: van, bus, truck.</li>
18   * <li>Following other GTU's: bicycle, pedestrian.</li>
19   * <li>Free driving.</li>
20   * <li>Approaching (theoretically different from following, usually the same formula).</li>
21   * <li>Stopping for a traffic light, intersection conflict, etc,</li>
