Function:

The uCollisionDetect application is run by the shoreside and detects if two vehicles have had an ecounter. An encounter is defined as being within the distance specified by the encounter_range parameter. An encounter constituting a near miss or collision will also produce a posting to UCD_REPORT indicating the two vehicle names, the CPA distance, and rank (near miss or collision). Flags may be configured to be posted upon each event type - collision, near-miss or encounter. These flags are simply MOOS variable and value pairs like the flags in many other MOOS applications and helm behaviors. For example, such a flag may be used to trigger an evaluation of the mission efficiency for a window of time around the encounter.
