Method Detail

addSwitchDirection

public void addSwitchDirection(SwitchBlockTrafficLight trafficLight,
                               java.util.List lineList,
                               double distanceRelease,
                               TrackInterface fromTrack,
                               TrackInterface toTrack)

adds a list of direction to the block for each line

Parameters:

trafficLight - guarding the block

lineList - list of lines that will use the direction to be set

distanceRelease - distance after the traffic light that the block will be released for other vehicles

fromTrack - start track to set the direction of the switch

toTrack - end track to set the direction of the switch

requestAccess

public void requestAccess(SwitchBlockTrafficLight switchBlockTrafficLight)

requestAcess process the request to access a SwitchBlock

Overrides:

requestAccess in class VirtualBlock

Parameters:

switchBlockTrafficLight - correspondent switchBlockTrafficLight that request access to the block
