Simple Traffic Light System

Description

The Simple Traffic Light System is a Java application that simulates a basic traffic light mechanism using an object-oriented approach. This project illustrates the principles of state transitions between different traffic light colors: red, orange, and green.

Features

• Traffic Light Simulation: The system can switch between three states (red, orange, and green) based on user-defined transitions.
• Token-Based Control: Each traffic light color is represented by a token system, where a token indicates that the light is ON, and the absence of a token indicates it is OFF.
• Transition Management: The program handles the transitions between lights and checks whether the transition can occur based on the current light state.

How It Works

1. Place Class: Represents each traffic light color with a name and a token count.
2. Transition Class: Manages the logic of switching from one light to another, ensuring that transitions only occur if the current light is ON.
3. Main Class: Initializes the traffic lights and demonstrates the transitions through console output.

Getting Started

To run the application:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/fatherrahmaneghoul/Simple-Traffic-Light-System.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd simple-traffic-light-system

3. Compile the Java files:

   javac SimpleTrafficLightSystem.java

4. Execute the main class to see the traffic light transitions:

   java SimpleTrafficLightSystem

Future Enhancements

• Implement a graphical user interface (GUI) to visualize the traffic light changes.
• Add timing controls to simulate real traffic light durations.
• Enhance the system with additional features such as pedestrian signals.
