[24] use Kernel (before than 0_33, used at RoboCup 2001). [11] use Kernel (the newest one which is later than 0_34) with default config.txt. [12] use Kernel (the newest one which is later than 0_34), however, parameters in config.txt will be specified as rules. (b) Traffic simulator: [16] use traffic simulator (used at RoboCup 2001). [ 8] use traffic simulator proposed by Morimoto. (c) Civilian agent: Civilian agent [12] Koto's sample civilian. [21] Nakanishi's civilian (used at RoboCup 2001).
