Class AbstractHistorical<T,E extends AbstractHistorical.Event>

java.lang.Object

org.opentrafficsim.core.perception.AbstractHistorical<T,E>

Type Parameters:

T - value type

E - event type

All Implemented Interfaces:

Direct Known Subclasses:

public abstract class AbstractHistorical<T,E extends AbstractHistorical.Event>
extends Object
implements HistoryManager.HistoricalElement

Base class for objects or properties that can be perceived from their actual state in the past. The principle by which a past state is determined is by storing an internal event for each change to the object. Each event can be reversed, and by working from a current state backwards, any previous state within the available history can be restored.

This class couples the historical to a HistoryManager and in response to a request from the HistoryManager will clear old events. Subclasses need to define their own events as extensions to AbstractHistorical.Event. This class provides the following methods to subclasses to work with the events.

• now(), returns the current time from the HistoryManager, which needs to be stored with each event.
• getEvents(Time), returns all events between now and the given time, ordered from recent to old.
• getEvent(Time), returns the most recent event from before the given time.
• getLastEvent(), returns the most recent event.
• removeEvent(Event), removes (oldest occurrence off) the event.
• addEvent(Event), add the event.

Typically, any change results in a new event which is added with addEvent(Event), where the event stores information such that the event can be restored. When an old state is requested, one or more events can be obtained with either of the get methods, after which they are applied to restore a previous state in a manner depending on the nature of the subclass.

This class is defined with a single event type parameter E. Subclasses can use different event classes, so long as all of them derive from a common ancestor. For instance an 'add' and a 'remove' event that inherit from an abstract super.

Method Detail

now

protected final org.djunits.value.vdouble.scalar.Time now()

Returns the current time.

Returns:

Time; current time

getEvents

protected final List<E> getEvents(org.djunits.value.vdouble.scalar.Time time)

Returns a list of events, ordered last to first, that includes all events after time.

Parameters:

time - Time; past time up to which to include events

Returns:

List; list of events, ordered last to first, that includes all events after time

getEvent

protected final E getEvent(org.djunits.value.vdouble.scalar.Time time)

Returns the most recent event from before or on time, or the oldest if no such event.

Parameters:

time - Time; past time at which to obtain event

Returns:

E; most recent event from before time

getLastEvent

protected final E getLastEvent()

Returns the last event.

Returns:

E; last event

isLastState

protected final boolean isLastState(org.djunits.value.vdouble.scalar.Time time)
