Train manager

Command line interface application for managing train schedules (as a user). It simulates a real life Client-Server architecture, where the clients request data from the server, and the server provides the data. The server's data about the trains is stored in an .xml file.

Functionality

The clients send commands to the server. Currently supported commands:

• today: information about the current day's trains schedule
• departures: information about departures in the upcoming delta time
• arrivals: information about arrivals in the upcoming delta time

Commands to be added:

• late: lets a user signal that a train is being late, future calls to departures or arrivals will reflect this change

Components

Train manager consists of:

• a Client side (multiple concurrent Client connections are supported)
• a Server side (only one Server is supported)

This is a multi-threaded application where:

• two threads are used in the client for sending and receiving data (excluding the main thread)
• 2n threads (approximately) are used in the server, two for each client

Requirements

For Client and Server instances:

• g++ version 9.3.0 (I used c++ standard 20, but 17 should work fine)
• make version 4.2.1
• any unix system

Build and start

git clone https://github.com/radu781/Train-manager.git
cd Train-manager

# This will use all debug optimizations
make

# Run this in a terminal
cd Server
bin/main

# Run this in a different terminal
cd Client
bin/main
