Moving of vehicles is implemented by first finding a path along the graph (Graph.findPath()), which is quite simple due to Edsger Dijkstras preliminary work. The vehicles will move along
their defined path like a train on rails. They will allways be fixed at some specific position on some edge (class GraphPosition).
For accomplishing a smooth transition from one edge to the other, the graph not only allows line edges but also arc edges. So the shortest path found through the graph will be smoothed
(GraphUtils.createPathFromGraphPosition() and GraphUtils.createTransition()) by truncating line edges and connecting these by arc edges. These graph edges will be added temporarily to the graph and will be removed from the
graph when the vehicle reaches its destination. Smoothing the graph path is a quite complex process with many potential combinations (eg. short edges, small angles between edges, orientation of vehicles). 
Optimizing this process still is a work in progress.
