java.lang.Object
- org.opentrafficsim.base.Type<T>

Type Parameters:

T - Class of type.

Direct Known Subclasses:

HierarchicalType, ParameterType
```
public abstract class Type<T extends Type<T>>
extends Object
```
Superclass of all sorts of types, for example GTUType, ParameterType, etc. The only method in this class is isType() which should be used to check whether any type object of unknown type, is a specific type. For example: speedLimitType.isType(SpeedLimitType.CURVATURE).

Note that it is not safe to use speedLimitType == SpeedLimitType.CURVATURE.
