Project Proposal

This document outlines the development of an online railway ticket reservation system for Sri Lanka. It describes the current manual paper-based system and need to automate reservations to provide a more convenient service for passengers. The proposed system would allow passengers to reserve tickets online by selecting destinations, dates and seat types. It would send ticket confirmations and bills via email. The system would be developed using tools like .NET, MySQL, PHP and Java and include modules for ticket booking, cancellation, rescheduling and reports. The objectives are to reduce paperwork, provide a user-friendly service and make better use of technology.

The projects main aim is to promote the railway activities of the sri lanka by facilitating very user friendly sophisticated service to the passengers. Although the railway department use web based management system it does not provide online services for the passengers. They only provide some information to the public around prices, tours. Passengers should have go in front of the counters to reserve tickets like day to day activities. Through this system the passenger can log on to the system and create the profiles of them and do the ticket reservation from his own. The system provides the detailed map to the user to select their destinations. The system is going to charge the ticket based on their type (senior citizen, military personnel, special category passengers etc.) ,the distance, class(1st class, 2nd class etc.) like things . After that the system asked for the bank account number for the passenger and when he enter the correct details, the system sends the bill with PRN code to the customer including seat numbers as well, to his email account. The bill will be the most important element while the passenger is traveling. Therefore he should get the printout of this and keep it very carefully during his journey. Moreover the passenger can cancel the reservation, check the availability of the trains, and reschedule the ticket The proposed system is working through a database and it can be access in anytime anywhere and can easily maintain. .net, mysql, php, java will be the most important tools when it pass through the implementation stage of the software.
