Online Railway Reservation System: About The Project

This document describes an online railway reservation system that was developed to provide customers with quick and easy access to book tickets and check status. The system was built using JavaScript, HTML, and a SQL database backend. It allows users to login, register, search for trains by origin, destination, date and class, book tickets through net banking if seats are available, and check reservation status. The existing manual reservation system was inefficient, while the proposed online system aimed to overcome these drawbacks by providing a more personalized, secure, and user-friendly experience for customers to book tickets online.

Online Railway Reservation System

Introduction

About the Project:

The main objective of this project is to provide an quick and easy access to

customer on booking a ticket and other related facilities like checking PNR status,

cancellation of ticket, to view the train schedules, to know the availability, etc.

Languages Used:

The application is developed using JAVA Script and HTML. To make it more

powerful, we have used SQL server as the back end.

The working of the project is as follows:

User Login module helps the user to login to the site. For that he must type the

username and password correctly. The login provision in this page helps the already

registered user to directly access the site and there is a link for registration to a user who

is new to this site.

Member Registration module helps the new user to register into the site. The

information entered by the users is added into the table registration.

Rail Ticket Request module helps the user to make a request for rail ticket. In this

page the user enters the full details about the train such as the start and destination

place, the class he/she wants and the convenient date. Once the seat is available, the

ticket can be booked through net banking.

Logout Link will help the user to logout from the site.

Abstract:

The reservation of railways is a most important task and it must be faster and

efficient as the demand (travelers) is very high. In order to meet this demand, manual

reservation is completely ruled out and it requires an efficient program to implement

the online reservation.

This program enables us to choose the train even there is no necessary to fill a

form at the railway reservation counter, i.e. we can directly select from the choices

provided for us with train numbers and their origin, departure time, destination &

arrival time at that station and the class to travel in. The user will have many options

like search for seat availability, search stations, check Reservation Status, reserve or

cancel the tickets, view fares, etc.

Here a database is maintained from which the client request the server to get the

information about the trains and the program gives us the final output as train ticket

with the amount to be paid through net banking.

This even simplifies the risks and makes things faster in the mode of

railways.

Existing System:

The existing system is manual entry of up keeping of the details of the persons

who are registered already. And it is very difficult for each person to come to the office.

Users can also enquire about the tickets through phones. It is very difficult for the user

to remember all the details that they received through phones.

And it is also very difficult to calculate how many people’s registered in a

month by hand. This requires quite a lot of time and wastage of money as it requires

quite lot of manpower to do that. Another factor that takes into account that is the

possibility of errors and which requires verification and checking of data relating to

various operations which is done manually. Data's are stored globally and are retrieved

in the same manner. Most of the data are hidden from outside the world. The limitations

of existing system are that it is not all personalized. It cannot be used for personal and

quick reference. Even the other staff members can make quick entries if the responsible

person is not present.

2.2 PROPOSED SYSTEM

The modern computerized system is developed with the aim to overcome the

drawbacks of existing system. The proposed system has got many advantages. People

from different parts of the world can register very easily. The new system is more

personalized. It is maze in such a manner that all the new users can understand all the

options in it very easily. It is made in a quick and easy referential manner. This system

helps the user to go through the rates quoted by different travel agencies and select the

convenient rate that is suitable for him.

the time of urgency. The advantages of proposed system are that security is maintained

in the new system. Securities for all important data are maintained confidentially. As it

is easily understandable and user friendly, quick entries can be made in this system.
