City-Based Parking and Routing System
A Master Thesis Project
Simulation Environment
The page contains an overview of the simulation evironment as designed and implemented for the CBPRS project.
Package Diagram
The package diagram depicts the relation between the four main packages of the CBPRS simulation environment. The simulation package provides basic functionality used through the three other packages; Infrastructure, Routing and parking.
Simulation class diagram
The simulation class diagram, shown above, contains a collection of class that assist in the implmentation of design patterns and default functionality in the other packages of the CBPRS. Design patterns implemented in simulation environment are the facade pattern, the singleton pattern and the delegation pattern among others.
Infrastructure class diagram
The interface class diagram, shown above, depicts a collection of related interfaces that form the building blocks of the road network. The interfaces presentend provided basic 'contracts' for implementing driving lanes, roads, intersections, vehicles and routes. Default implementations of these interfaces can be found in CBPRS package downloadable from the right handside menu.
Routing class diagram
The routing class diagram, shown above, depicts two collections of classes. The first collection is focused on routing vehicles via Dijkstra algorihtm and the generation of routing tables using Dijkstra's algorithm. The second collection focusses on the Distrubed hierarchical ant colony based routing algorithm this dynamic algorihtm described in the thesis uses ants to determine optimal routes to a dynamic traffic environment. The routing package also provides to default vehicles. The DijkstraVehicle uses the information generated by Dijkstra's algorithm for routing while the AntVehicle uses the ant colony based routing algorithm.
Parking class diagram
The parking class diagram, shown above, depicts the classes that together form the parking system of the CBPRS. This package contains the entire CBPRS parking system including lampposts, parking places, busses and busstops. Three default vehicles are provided in this package: Bus, DijkstraParkingVehicle and AntParkingVehicle. The bus uses the routing tables generated by Dijsktra's algorithm to drive from busstop to busstop. However, along the way it provide traffic condition information to the CBPRS. The DijkstraParkingVehicle and AntParkingVehicle are similar to the vehicles in the routing package but are extended to allow them to park on a parking place or in a parking garage.
