Class AntiCollisionOtherCarsProcess

Namespace: mobisim.Traffic

Reactive gap-keeping process that halts a vehicle whenever another vehicle enters its forward sensor arc within stopDistance, then clears itself once the leading car moves away.

[Serializable]
public class AntiCollisionOtherCarsProcess : TrafficProcess

Inheritance

object→TrafficProcess→AntiCollisionOtherCarsProcess

Inherited Members

• TrafficProcess.EditorDislayName
• TrafficProcess.IsCompleted
• TrafficProcess.GetProcessConstraint()
• TrafficProcess.Initialize(TrafficProcess.ProcessData)
• TrafficProcess.Update(float)
• TrafficProcess.Completed()

Remarks

AI vehicles follow waypoint paths and may catch up to a slower car ahead (e.g., the participant's vehicle braking at an intersection). This process fires once the forward sensor reports a vehicle, pauses the invoker's movement command, and self-completes when the distance is no longer within range, at which point Completed resumes the invoker.

A hysteresis margin of 10 units is added to the stop-distance check after the first stop so that a vehicle hovering exactly at the threshold does not oscillate between stopped and moving on alternating frames.

The dot-product check (threshold 0.7) ensures the other car is genuinely ahead of this vehicle's forward axis and not merely nearby in a lateral or opposite lane — without it, a car waiting beside this vehicle at an intersection would trigger a false stop.

Methods

Completed()

Marks the process complete and resumes movement — called either when the leading car is no longer in the forward arc, or from ProcessData) if required parameters were missing.

public override void Completed()

GetProcessConstraint()

Returns the concurrency constraint for this process type.

public override TrafficProcess.ProcessConstraint GetProcessConstraint()

Returns

TrafficProcess.ProcessConstraint — The constraint that TrafficProcess) enforces to prevent duplicate processes from stacking.

Initialize(ProcessData)

Applies processData configuration and resets IsCompleted so the process begins fresh.

public override void Initialize(TrafficProcess.ProcessData processData)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
processData	TrafficProcess.ProcessData	Parameter bag populated by Collider).

Remarks

Subclasses should call base.Initialize to clear IsCompleted, then read their keys from objectParameter and valueParameter.

Update(float)

Advances the process by one tick; called each frame by DoUpdate until IsCompleted is set.

public override void Update(float deltaTime)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
deltaTime	float	Elapsed time since the last frame, in seconds.
