A set of routines is described that assist a programmer in modeling object movement and interactions. Interactions occur when objects move in range or leave range of other objects. Interaction events are rescheduled automatically as objects change vectors. Routines are written in Pascal to take advantage of its dynamic memory allocation capability and minimize memory require ments. An airport simulation demonstrates use of the routines.
