6.6 Collision Detection
The basic of calculating collision detection is the well-known speed formula, which is calculated by
v =
s
t
(6.1)
where
v is speed
s is distance
t is travel time within the distance
Based on the formula (6.1), collision detection can be calculated by the following steps:
■ Calculate future collision point, which is by finding route contention of a pair of vehicles.
■ Calculate time for each vehicle to reach future collision point (TTC) based on the
aforementioned speed formula.
■ If TTC of one vehicle is equal or nearly equal with TTC of another vehicle to reach ...
