ATVM Metro Ticket Vending Machine Simulation

A Finite State Machine–based simulation of an Automatic Ticket Vending Machine (ATVM) for metro ticket booking, implemented in Java with an HTML‑based frontend.

What this project does

• Models the ATVM as a state machine (e.g., idle, select_station, payment, ticket_issue, error).
• Handles user input such as station selection, fare calculation, and payment confirmation.
• Prints a simulated ticket with details like source, destination, fare, and timestamp.

Tech stack

• Core logic: Java (Swing / console‑style interaction)
• Frontend / UI: HTML page (ATVM_Pro_Combined.html) for user instructions and flow overview
• Pattern: Finite State Machine (FSM) design for state transitions

How to run

1. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/hardikrawat910-byte/atvm-metro-ticket.git

2. Compile the Java file:

   javac MetroTicket.java

3. Run the program:

   java MetroTicket

4. Open ATVM_Pro_Combined.html in the browser to follow the ATVM flow visually.

What I learned

• How to design and implement a state machine for real‑world systems.
• Basic UI‑like flow design using HTML to guide the user through the ATVM steps.
• Structuring a console‑based Java program for modular, readable code.

Notes

• This is a first‑year academic project created as part of my engineering coursework.
• The idea and structure of the FSM and ticket‑issuing logic were designed by me.
