5. The Test plan:

1 Test the number of customers till the full queue while the entrance sensor is
hit
2 Test the full flag when the queue is full
3 During the test the work of the entrance sensor for more than one cycle to
ensure that it increments only once.
4 Try to add an extra customer to test the alarm signal
5 Test the number of customers till the empty queue while the exit sensor is hit
6 During the test, the waiting time was being tested for different cases

Control Block

The block is the main FSM responsible of mapping the persons counted in the
queue and outputs to the interface an empty and full signal that indicates
the status of the queue.

Control Sensor
The block is a FSM responsible of mapping the sensors value to an output that

Wtime Block
The block is mainly responsible for calculating the waiting time for customers in a
queue. It was supposed that that the time is calculated according to equation:

Wtime (Pcount 0,Tcount) = 3*(Pcount+Tcount-1)/Tcount

But it was decided to use a look-up table representing values for different values
of customers and tellers available.
The block consists of a ROM and another block required for selecting the
equivalent waiting time according to number of customers and tellers.

Pcounter block

We built the (Pcounter) to count the number of customer in a queue according

the status of the entrance and exit sensors and we make an alarm signal to
detect when an extra customer tries to enter when the queue is full.
We used a sequential always block to describe the counter with active low reset
with the system, the (phcell) signal which is coming from the FSM of the system
and deliver the alarm signal to be an output of the system.
