-
-## Protocolo de Comunicação
-
-### Formato de Serialização: JSON (Gson)
-
-O sistema utiliza JSON como formato de serialização por ser mais rápido, seguro e legível que a serialização em Java.
-
-### Estrutura de Mensagens
-
-Todas as mensagens seguem o formato base:
-
-```json
-{
-  "messageId": "uuid",
-  "type": "MESSAGE_TYPE",
-  "senderId": "sender_id",
-  "destinationId": "destination_id",
-  "timestamp": 1729595234567,
-  "payload": { ... }
-}
-```
-
-### Tipos de Mensagens
-
-#### 1. VEHICLE_TRANSFER
-
-Transfere um veículo entre cruzamentos.
-
-**Estrutura:**
-```json
-{
-  "messageId": "a3c5e7f9-1234-5678-90ab-cdef12345678",
-  "type": "VEHICLE_TRANSFER",
-  "senderId": "Cr1",
-  "destinationId": "Cr2",
-  "timestamp": 1729595234567,
-  "payload": {
-    "id": "V123",
-    "type": "LIGHT",
-    "entryTime": 15.7,
-    "route": ["Cr1", "Cr2", "Cr5", "S"],
-    "currentRouteIndex": 1,
-    "totalWaitingTime": 3.2,
-    "totalCrossingTime": 1.8
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Fluxo:**
-1. Veículo completa travessia no Cr1
-2. Cr1 serializa mensagem VEHICLE_TRANSFER
-3. Envia para Cr2 via socket
-4. Cr2 desserializa e adiciona veículo à fila
-
-#### 2. STATS_UPDATE
-
-Envia estatísticas de um cruzamento para o Dashboard.
-
-**Estrutura:**
-```json
-{
-  "messageId": "b4d6e8f0-2345-6789-01bc-def123456789",
-  "type": "STATS_UPDATE",
-  "senderId": "Cr3",
-  "destinationId": "Dashboard",
-  "timestamp": 1729595234789,
-  "payload": {
-    "intersectionId": "Cr3",
-    "queueLengths": {
-      "North": 5,
-      "South": 3,
-      "East": 7,
-      "West": 2
-    },
-    "vehiclesProcessed": 142,
-    "averageWaitTime": 4.5,
-    "currentTime": 123.45
-  }
-}
-```
-
-**Frequência:** A cada 10 segundos (configurável)
-
-#### 3. VEHICLE_EXIT
-
-Notifica quando um veículo sai do sistema.
-
-**Estrutura:**
-```json
-{
-  "messageId": "c5e7f9a1-3456-7890-12bc-def123456789",
-  "type": "VEHICLE_EXIT",
-  "senderId": "Cr5",
-  "destinationId": "ExitNode",
-  "timestamp": 1729595234890,
-  "payload": {
-    "id": "V123",
-    "type": "LIGHT",
-    "entryTime": 15.7,
-    "exitTime": 45.2,
-    "totalSystemTime": 29.5,
-    "totalWaitingTime": 8.3,
-    "totalCrossingTime": 4.8,
-    "routeTaken": ["Cr1", "Cr2", "Cr5", "S"]
-  }
-}
-```
-

-  "type": "HEARTBEAT",
-  "senderId": "Cr1",
-  "destinationId": "Coordinator",
-  "timestamp": 1729595235000,
-  "payload": {
-    "status": "RUNNING",
-    "uptime": 120.5,
-    "vehiclesInQueue": 12

-Notifica mudança de estado de semáforo (para logging/debugging).
-
-**Estrutura:**
-```json
-{
-  "messageId": "e7f9a1b3-5678-9012-34de-f12345678901",
-  "type": "LIGHT_CHANGE",
-  "senderId": "Cr1-North",
-  "destinationId": "Dashboard",
-  "timestamp": 1729595235100,
-  "payload": {
-    "lightId": "Cr1-North",
-    "previousState": "RED",
-    "newState": "GREEN",
-    "queueSize": 5
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Tipos de Veículos
-
-```json
-{
-  "BIKE": {
-    "probability": 0.20,
-    "crossingTime": 1.5
-  },
-  "LIGHT": {
-    "probability": 0.60,
-    "crossingTime": 2.0
-  },
-  "HEAVY": {
-    "probability": 0.20,
-    "crossingTime": 4.0
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Estados dos Semáforos
-
-```
-RED    → Veículos aguardam na fila
-GREEN  → Veículos podem atravessar
-```
-

-# 🏁 Single-Process Prototype — Implementation Summary
-
-**Status:** ✅ Complete
-**Date:** October 22, 2025
-**Branch:** `8-single-process-prototype`
-
---
-
-## Overview
-
-The single-process prototype implements a **discrete event simulation (DES)** of a 3×3 urban grid with five intersections, realistic vehicle behavior, and fully synchronized traffic lights. Everything runs under one process, laying the groundwork for the distributed architecture in Phase 3.
-
---
-
-## Core Architecture
-
-### **SimulationEngine**
-
-Drives the DES loop with a priority queue of timestamped events — vehicles, lights, crossings, and periodic stats updates. Handles five intersections (Cr1–Cr5) and six event types.
-
-**Main loop:**
-
-```
-while (events && time < duration):
-    event = nextEvent()
-    time = event.timestamp
-    handle(event)
-```
-
-### **VehicleGenerator**
-
-Spawns vehicles via:
-
-* **Poisson arrivals** (λ = 0.5 veh/s) or fixed intervals
-* **Probabilistic routes** from E1–E3
-* **Type distribution**: 20% BIKE, 60% LIGHT, 20% HEAVY
-
-### **StatisticsCollector**
-
-Tracks system-wide and per-type metrics: throughput, avg. wait, queue sizes, light cycles — updated every 10 s and at simulation end.
-
---
-
-## Model Highlights
-
-* **Vehicle** – type, route, timings, lifecycle.
-* **Intersection** – routing tables, traffic lights, queues.
-* **TrafficLight** – red/green cycles with FIFO queues.
-* **Event** – timestamped, comparable; 6 types for all DES actions.
-
---
-
-## Configuration (`simulation.properties`)
-
-```properties
-simulation.duration=60.0
-simulation.arrival.model=POISSON
-simulation.arrival.rate=0.5
-
-vehicle.bike.crossingTime=1.5
-vehicle.light.crossingTime=2.0
-vehicle.heavy.crossingTime=4.0
-
-statistics.update.interval=10.0
-```
-
-**Speed logic:**
-`t_bike = 0.5×t_car`, `t_heavy = 2×t_car`.

-## NEXT: Distributed Architecture Implementation
-
-### Compreender os Conceitos Fundamentais
-
-Primeiro, as tecnologias e paradigmas chave necessários para este projeto devem ser totalmente compreendidos.
-
- **Processos vs. Threads:** O projeto especifica o uso de ambos.
-    
-    - **Processos (para Cruzamentos)** são programas independentes, cada um com o seu próprio espaço de memória. Em Java, cada cruzamento será provavelmente executado como uma aplicação Java separada (uma instância distinta da JVM).
-        
-    - **Threads (para Semáforos)** existem _dentro_ de um processo e partilham memória. Isto é adequado para os semáforos, pois eles precisam de ser coordenados e partilhar dados (como filas de veículos) dentro do mesmo cruzamento.
-        
- **Comunicação Entre Processos (IPC - Inter-Process Communication):** Como os cruzamentos são processos separados, é necessário um método para que eles comuniquem. **Sockets** são o método especificado. Quando um veículo sai de um cruzamento (ex: `Cr1`) e vai para outro (ex: `Cr2`), o processo `Cr1` precisa de enviar uma mensagem contendo os dados do veículo para o processo `Cr2` através de uma conexão por socket.
-    
- **Simulação de Eventos Discretos (DES - Discrete-Event Simulation):** Este é o paradigma de simulação que deve ser utilizado. Em vez de o tempo fluir continuamente, o relógio da simulação salta de um evento para o seguinte.
-    
-    - Um **evento** é um objeto que representa algo que acontece num ponto específico no tempo (ex: "Veículo A chega ao Cr2 no tempo 15.7s").
-        
-    - Uma **lista de eventos** central, frequentemente uma fila de prioridades, será necessária para armazenar eventos futuros, ordenados pelo seu timestamp. O ciclo principal da simulação retira o próximo evento da lista, processa-o e adiciona quaisquer novos eventos que resultem dele.
-        
- **Processo de Poisson:** Para o modelo 'mais realista' de chegadas de veículos, é especificado um processo de Poisson. A principal conclusão é que o tempo _entre_ chegadas consecutivas de veículos segue uma **distribuição exponencial**. Em Java, este intervalo pode ser gerado usando `Math.log(1 - Math.random()) / -lambda`, onde `lambda` (λi) é a taxa de chegada especificada.
-    
-
---
-
-### Uma Sugestão de Arquitetura de Alto Nível
-
-Abaixo, é apresentada uma possível estrutura para a aplicação distribuída. Pode ser vista como um conjunto de programas independentes que comunicam através de uma rede.
-
-1. **Processo Coordenador/Gerador (1 Processo):**
-    
-    - **Propósito:** Iniciar a simulação, gerar veículos e gerir o relógio global da simulação ou os critérios de paragem.
-        
-    - **Responsabilidades:**
-        
-        - Lê a configuração da simulação (ex: carga de tráfego λi, tempos dos semáforos).
-            
-        - Gera veículos de acordo com o modelo selecionado (intervalo fixo ou processo de Poisson).
-            
-        - Atribui a cada novo veículo um percurso com base na distribuição uniforme especificada.
-            
-        - Injeta o veículo no sistema enviando uma mensagem para o primeiro processo de cruzamento no seu percurso (ex: de um ponto de entrada E1 para Cr1).
-            
-2. **Processos de Cruzamento (5 Processos):**
-    
-    - **Propósito:** Simular cada cruzamento (`Cr1` a `Cr5`) como um processo distinto.
-        
-    - **Responsabilidades:**
-        
-        - Escuta por veículos a chegar de outros processos.
-            
-        - Gere as filas de veículos para os seus semáforos.
-            
-        - Executa múltiplas **threads de Semáforo** internamente.
-            
-        - Coordena estas threads para garantir que apenas uma direção de tráfego está aberta a cada momento.
-            
-        - Quando um veículo atravessa, é encaminhado para o processo seguinte no seu percurso.
-            
-        - Envia periodicamente as suas estatísticas (ex: comprimentos atuais das filas) para o Servidor do Dashboard.
-            
-3. **Processo de Nó de Saída (1 Processo):**
-    
-    - **Propósito:** Representar o ponto de saída `S` e atuar como um coletor de dados para estatísticas globais.
-        
-    - **Responsabilidades:**
-        
-        - Recebe veículos que completaram o seu percurso.
-            
-        - Calcula métricas globais como o tempo total de viagem (tempo de permanência) para cada veículo.
-            
-        - Agrega e calcula as estatísticas finais (ex: tempo de viagem mínimo, máximo e médio por tipo de veículo).
-            
-        - Envia estas estatísticas globais para o Servidor do Dashboard.
-            
-4. **Processo do Servidor do Dashboard (1 Processo):**
-    
-    - **Propósito:** Agregar e exibir todos os dados da simulação em tempo real.
-        
-    - **Responsabilidades:**
-        
-        - Abre um socket de servidor e escuta por dados a chegar de todos os processos de Cruzamento e de Saída.
-            
-        - Armazena e atualiza as estatísticas à medida que chegam.
-            
-        - Apresenta os dados numa interface de utilizador, que deve exibir métricas e ser atualizada durante a simulação.
-

-
-### Plano
-
-Nem tudo deve ser construído de uma só vez. Os seguintes passos incrementais são recomendados.
-
-#### **Passo 1: Modelação e Classes Principais (Não-distribuído)**
-
-Antes de escrever qualquer lógica complexa, as estruturas de dados devem ser definidas. Devem ser criados Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs) para:
-
- `Veiculo`: Com atributos como um identificador único, tipo, tempo de entrada e o percurso realizado. Deve ser tornado `Serializable` para que possa ser enviado através de sockets.
-    
- `Evento`: Com atributos como um timestamp e o tipo de evento (ex: `VEHICLE_ARRIVAL`), bem como dados associados.
-    
- `Semaforo`: Para conter o seu estado (`VERDE`/`VERMELHO`) e a fila de veículos.
-    
- `Cruzamento`: Para conter os seus semáforos e a lógica operacional.
-    
-
-#### **Passo 2: Construir um Protótipo de Processo Único**
-
-Este é um passo crucial. Sockets e processos devem ser deixados de lado por agora para construir toda a simulação numa única aplicação Java.
-
- Deve ser criado um ciclo de simulação central baseado numa fila de prioridades para objetos `Evento`.
-    
- Todos os objetos `Cruzamento` e `Semaforo` devem ser instanciados.
-    
- A lógica principal deve ser tornada funcional: veículos a moverem-se entre filas, semáforos a mudar de estado e estatísticas básicas a serem recolhidas.
-    
- **Objetivo:** Uma simulação totalmente funcional e não-distribuída. Isto torna a depuração significativamente mais fácil.
-    
-
-#### **Passo 3: Distribuir os Cruzamentos**
-
-O protótipo pode agora ser convertido num sistema distribuído.
-
- A classe `Cruzamento` deve ser tornada executável como uma aplicação Java autónoma (com um método `main`). Serão lançadas cinco instâncias, uma para cada cruzamento.
-    
- Devem ser configurados sockets TCP para comunicação. Cada processo de cruzamento precisa de saber o endereço/porta dos vizinhos para os quais pode enviar veículos.
-    
- Um **protocolo de comunicação** claro deve ser definido. Por exemplo, quando `Cr1` envia um veículo para `Cr2`, o objeto `Veiculo` é serializado e escrito no socket conectado a `Cr2`. O processo `Cr2` terá uma thread dedicada para escutar estas conexões de entrada.
-    
-
-#### **Passo 4: Implementar as Threads dos Semáforos**
-
-Dentro de cada processo `Cruzamento`, os semáforos devem ser implementados como threads.
-
- O principal desafio aqui é a **sincronização**. As threads dos semáforos num único cruzamento partilham as filas de veículos.
-    
- As ferramentas de concorrência do Java (como `synchronized`, `ReentrantLock`, `Semaphore`) devem ser usadas para garantir que apenas um semáforo pode estar verde para um percurso conflituante e que o acesso às filas partilhadas é seguro (thread-safe).
-    
-
-#### **Passo 5: Implementar o Dashboard**
-
- O processo `DashboardServer` deve ser criado. Ele irá escutar numa porta específica por estatísticas a chegar.
-    
- Nos processos `Cruzamento` e `Saida`, deve ser adicionado um mecanismo para enviar periodicamente um resumo das suas estatísticas atuais para o Servidor do Dashboard.
-    
- A UI deve ser construída para exibir estes dados em tempo real.
-    
-
-#### **Passo 6: Testes e Análise**
-
-Assim que o sistema completo estiver a funcionar, as experiências exigidas pela descrição do projeto podem ser realizadas.
-
- A simulação deve ser executada com diferentes taxas de chegada de veículos para simular cargas baixas, médias e altas.
-    
- Diferentes políticas de temporização dos semáforos devem ser testadas para medir o seu impacto no congestionamento.
-    
- Diferentes algoritmos de seleção de percurso e o seu impacto no desempenho do sistema devem ser avaliados.
-    
- Para cada cenário, a simulação deve ser executada várias vezes para recolher estatísticas fiáveis (médias, desvios padrão, intervalos de confiança), conforme solicitado.
-    
-
-#### **Passo 7: Escrever o Relatório**
-
-À medida que cada passo é concluído, deve ser documentado. Isto tornará a escrita do relatório final muito mais fácil. Todos os pontos mencionados nas secções "Entrega" e "Critérios de Avaliação" devem ser abordados.
-
---
-
-### OBS:
-
- **Começar de Forma Simples:** O protótipo de processo único (Passo 2) evitará grandes dificuldades mais tarde.
-    
- **Protocolo de Comunicação:** O protocolo de mensagens deve ser definido o mais cedo possível. A informação exata que um processo envia para outro deve ser clara//simples//consistente.
-    
- **Debugging:** Debugging de sistemas distribuídos podem ser difíceis. Uma framework de logging (como Log4j 2 ou SLF4J) pode ser usada para registar eventos//alterações de estado nos diferentes processos.
-    
- **Configuração:** Valores como endereços IP, números de porta ou parâmetros da simulação não devem ser "hardcoded". Um ficheiro de configuração (ex: um ficheiro `.properties` ou `.json`) torna a aplicação mais fácil de executar e testar.

- * Represents a single event in the discrete event simulation.
- * * An Event is the fundamental unit of action in the simulation. It contains:

- * - A {@link EventType} (what kind of event it is).
- * - Associated {@code data} (e.g., the {@link Vehicle} or {@link TrafficLight} involved).
