lethexa-motionpredict

This library is used to predict track position.

• Intercept-calculation of two tracks.
• Closest point of approach of two tracks.
• Arrival time of one track at another.
• Approach speed of one track to another.

//// THE EXAMPLE ////
var motionpredict = require('lethexa-motionpredict').withMathFunc(MathFunc);

// Calculate TCPA
var position1 = [0,0,0];
var velocity1 = [0,1,0];

var position2 = [0,1,0];
var velocity2 = [0,0,0];

var tcpa = motionpredict.calcCPATime(position1,velocity1,position2,velocity2);
console.log('TCPA=' + tcpa);



// Calculate intercept time
var icptPos = [0,0,0];
var icptVelo = 1.0;

var targetPos = [1,0,0];
var targetVelo = [0,0,0];

var ticpt = motionpredict.calcInterceptTime(icptPos,icptVelo,targetPos,targetVelo);

console.log('T intercept=' + ticpt);
