Ferry Simulation 🚢🚗🚌🚛

This project simulates a ferry transportation system using multithreading in Java. Vehicles of different types (cars, minibuses, trucks) are transported between two shores, respecting capacity constraints and random arrival logic.

🧠 Overview

The simulation models a real-world ferry operation:

• Vehicles are randomly generated and assigned to either the LEFT or RIGHT shore.
• Each vehicle passes through a toll booth and waits in a queue.
• The ferry has a fixed capacity of 20 units:
  • Car = 1 unit
  • Minibus = 2 units
  • Truck = 3 units
• The ferry loads vehicles from its current shore, crosses to the other shore, unloads, and repeats.
• The simulation continues until all vehicles return to their original shore.

🔧 Technologies and Concepts

• Java Multithreading
• ExecutorService (Thread Pool)
• BlockingQueue for synchronized vehicle queues
• Enums for vehicle type and shore side
• Randomization for vehicle type and starting side
• Thread-safe design to avoid race conditions
