Predict agents' movement

Uses the agents' current speed and orientation to determine where the agent might end up in the next step, assuming that they do not change direction or speed. This information is used by other agents to determine where (not) to go to avoid collisions.

Usage

predict_movement(agent, stay_stopped = TRUE, time_step = 0.5, cpp = TRUE)

Arguments

agent

Object of the agent-class.

stay_stopped

Logical denoting whether agents will predict others that are currently not moving to remain immobile in the next iteration. Defaults to TRUE.

time_step

Numeric denoting the number of seconds each discrete step in time should mimic. Defaults to 0.5, or half a second.

cpp

Logical denoting whether to use the Rcpp alternative of this function (TRUE) or the R alternative (FALSE). Defaults to TRUE.

Value

Numeric matrix containing the predicted positions all agents if they all maintain their speed and direction.
