Bank Queue Simulation

Project Overview

A discrete event simulation of a single-server bank queue system implemented in Java for my Computer Simulations and Modeling unit.

Objectives

• Simulate 100 customers in a single-server bank queue
• Model uniform arrival times: U(1,8) minutes
• Model uniform service times: U(1,6) minutes
• Calculate comprehensive queue statistics and performance metrics

Features

• Discrete event simulation engine
• Comprehensive customer tracking
• Queue performance analysis
• Statistical summary reporting
• Professional formatted output

Requirements

• Java 11 or higher
• IntelliJ IDEA (recommended)
• Maven (for project management)
