Movement of Single Objects

Object movement is approximated by a sequence of linear movements.

Each movement represented as an iso-directional-interval   (d,r,I)

  • I is a time interval  (during which object moves in constant direction)

  • d is distance moved during I  (a real number)

  • r is the direction moved  (one of N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW)

A track is: [ (d1,r1,I1),   (d2,r2,I2),   ...   (dn,rn,In) ]

where finish(I1) = start(I2),   finish(I2) = start(I3),   ...   (i.e. intervals are contiguous)
