General info

This program was created as an assigment for Java 1.8 course. Its main goal was to learn about multithreading programming architecture. Bridge Crossing Problem is a common multithreading problem.

Screenshots

Technologies

• Java 1.8 with Swing library.

Setup and run

In order to run this project, Java 1.8 is required. Simply download this repository, add it to your Java IDE workspace and run it as Java Application (you can also build project to standalone application).

Features

List of features:

• 4 different bridge modes:
  • "One bus, one way" - only one bus crossing bridge at the time.
  • "Many buses, one way" - many buses crossing bridge at the time, but only in one direction. Bus limit might be changed in any time. Direction changes automatically every 10 seconds.
  • "Many buses, both ways" - same as for "Many buses, one way", but buses are allowed to drive in both directions.
  • "Unlimited" - unlimited crossing in both directions.
• Bridge limit control.
• Bus spawning frequency control.
• Visualization of simulation.
• List of buses in queue.
• List of buses on bridge.
• Logs.

Issues

No major issues are known. However, if you would run simulation for long time enough, bus ID number (integer value) may overflow.

Status

This project is finished and no longer developed.
