+# 🏁 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`.
+
+---
+
+## Topology
+
+```
+E1→Cr1→Cr4→Cr5→S
+E2→Cr2→Cr5→S
+E3→Cr3→S
+Bi-dir: Cr1↔Cr2, Cr2↔Cr3
+```
+
+---
+
+## Results
+
+**Unit Tests:** 7/7 ✅
+**60-Second Simulation:**
+
+* Generated: 22 vehicles
+* Completed: 5 (22.7%)
+* Avg system time: 15.47 s
+* Throughput: 0.08 veh/s
+* All lights & intersections operational
+
+**Performance:**
+~0.03 s real-time run (≈2000× speed-up), < 50 MB RAM.
+
+---
+
+## Code Structure
+
+```
+sd/
+├── engine/SimulationEngine.java
+├── model/{Vehicle,Intersection,TrafficLight,Event}.java
+├── util/{VehicleGenerator,StatisticsCollector}.java
+└── config/SimulationConfig.java
+```
+
+---
+
+## Key Flow
+
+1. Initialize intersections, lights, first events.
+2. Process events chronologically.
+3. Vehicles follow routes → queue → cross → exit.
+4. Lights toggle, queues drain, stats update.
+5. Print summary and performance metrics.
+
+---
+
+## Next Steps — Phase 3
+
+* Split intersections into independent **processes**.
+* Add **socket-based communication**.
+* Run **traffic lights as threads**.
+* Enable **distributed synchronization** and fault handling.
+
+---
+
+## TL;DR
+
+Solid single-process DES ✅
+Everything’s working — traffic lights, routing, vehicles, stats.
+Ready to go distributed next.
