// Class description:
//
// G4CoupledTransportation is an optional process to transport  
// a particle, in case of coupled navigation in parallel geometries
//  i.e. the geometrical propagation will be done
//   encountering the geometrical volumes of the detectors and
//   those of parallel geometries (eg for biasing, scoring, fast simulation)
// It is tasked with updating the "safety" to reflect the geometrical
//   distance to the nearest volume, and the time of flight of the particle.
