This is the project for the fourth course in the Udacity C++ Nanodegree Program: Concurrency.
Throughout the Concurrency course, a traffic simulation has been developed in which vehicles are moving along streets and are crossing intersections. However, with increasing traffic in the city, traffic lights are needed for road safety. Each intersection will therefore be equipped with a traffic light. In this final project, the goal is to build a suitable and thread-safe communication protocol between vehicles and intersections to complete the simulation. Using knowledge of concurrent programming (such as mutexes, locks and message queues) traffic lights are integrated in the code base.
