nl.tudelft.simulation.traffic.vehicle
Interface VehicleControlInterface

All Superinterfaces:

java.util.EventListener, nl.tudelft.simulation.event.EventListenerInterface, nl.tudelft.simulation.event.EventProducerInterface

All Known Implementing Classes:

VehicleControl

public interface VehicleControlInterface

extends nl.tudelft.simulation.event.EventListenerInterface, nl.tudelft.simulation.event.EventProducerInterface

This interface defines the behavior of the control of a vehicle. The control takes the decisions regarding the behavior of the vehicle based on the environment and its own internal parameters. For instance, it decides when and if to stop for trafficlights or adapt to speedlimits.

For a detailed discussion of the involved logic, see the report (hyperlink?) and the source code of the implementation classes.
