Interface IDeltaMotion

public interface IDeltaMotion

This objects contains the change in motion (acceleration, change in angle, and sideways "jink") applied by an agent in the next simulation time interval. The same object is used to "absorb" motion from a number of separate decision processes, in such a way that the largest deceleration or avoidance angle is the one that is used.

Method Summary

boolean	absorb(Double acceleration) Absorb the suggested change in acceleration, substituting the given acceleration if it is more negative
boolean	absorb(IAngle deltaHeading) Absorb the suggested change in angle, substituting the given angle if it is is the same direction, but greater.
boolean	absorb(IDeltaMotion followingMotion) Absorb the suggested change in motion, substituting the given acceleration if it is more negative, or the angle if it is greater
boolean	absorb(IXyz jink) Absorb the suggested small movement vector, adding the vector to any existing jink vector
Double	acceleration() Returns the acceleration value, with units
double	accelerationV() Returns the acceleration value, as m/s/s
IAngle	deltaHeading() Returns the change in heading angle, as an angle object
double	deltaHeadingAbs() Returns the change in heading angle, in absolute degrees.
IXyz	jink() Returns a vector, indicating that the agent will be shunted a small direction, normally to avoid overlap with another agent.
void	jink(IXyz vector) Set the jink vector for this agent.
void	reset(Double acceleration) Set the stored acceleration to the given value, ignoring any current value
void	reset(IAngle deltaHeading) Set the stored change of angle to the given value, ignoring any current value

Method Detail

acceleration

Double acceleration()

Returns the acceleration value, with units

accelerationV

double accelerationV()

Returns the acceleration value, as m/s/s

deltaHeading

IAngle deltaHeading()

Returns the change in heading angle, as an angle object

deltaHeadingAbs

double deltaHeadingAbs()

Returns the change in heading angle, in absolute degrees. Returning a value of 45 could mean 45 degrees to the left or to the right.

jink

IXyz jink()

Returns a vector, indicating that the agent will be shunted a small direction, normally to avoid overlap with another agent. In most cases, z==0

jink

void jink(IXyz vector)

Set the jink vector for this agent.

absorb

boolean absorb(IDeltaMotion followingMotion)

Absorb the suggested change in motion, substituting the given acceleration if it is more negative, or the angle if it is greater

absorb

boolean absorb(Double acceleration)

Absorb the suggested change in acceleration, substituting the given acceleration if it is more negative

absorb

boolean absorb(IAngle deltaHeading)

Absorb the suggested change in angle, substituting the given angle if it is is the same direction, but greater. If the angle is in the opposite direction, then change the accepted angle to the sum of the the existing and the suggested.

absorb

boolean absorb(IXyz jink)

Absorb the suggested small movement vector, adding the vector to any existing jink vector

reset

void reset(Double acceleration)

Set the stored acceleration to the given value, ignoring any current value

reset

void reset(IAngle deltaHeading)

Set the stored change of angle to the given value, ignoring any current value
