AI BASED MUSEUM TICKETING SYSTEM

REQUIREMENTS GATHERING:

VISITORS: local, international tourists, families, groups

Local visitors: Rs. 50 per person

Family of 4: Rs. 125 (2A + 2C)

Group booking: 3 – Rs. 75; 4 – Rs. 150; 5 – Rs. 175

Hi this is a lengthy task please help me in it.

I am going to make a ticket booking chatbot. The idea is to book and give a ticket based on the user’s
prompts in a chatbot format based on a database. The database contains DATE, TICKET NUMBER,
TIME SLOT, CATEGORY, TICKET TYPE, CUSTOMER NAME, PRICE AND PAYMENT STATUS. When the
user selects a date, the chatbot is supposed to check with the database and see if any time slot is
free in that particular day, and display all the available slots so the user can select from it. Once the
user selects the time slot and provides other details, its supposed to update those information in the
database automatically and produce a ticket for the user.

Ill split the task into 3 parts:

1. Database creation

2. Front end

3. Back end

1. Database can be in SQL Lite with the information mentioned above. It must be volatile and should
be constantly updated based on user input after they confirm ticket. The ticket number column must
be self generating with the following format date-no. of people-01, and the 01 must keep on
incrementing according to the number of users. In a day there are 4 slots: 9-10 am, 10-11am, 4-5pm,
5-6pm, and each slot can accommodate 10 people. So if a person chooses 9-10 am slot, the bot must
check the number of slots available in that time period and if available, it should book the ticket.

Can we do this much for now?

I have no idea about web development so you have to please help me. I would like to use FLASK like
you recommended. The site specifications are as follows:

I want a chatbox in the centre of the webpage. Webpage header: ‘National Museum of India’.
Chatbox must have some inbuilt buttons which the users can click and proceed to next step. The
buttons must be placed next to each other neatly, so the chatbox width should be fixed according.
User Interface is extremely important here. The user prompts: aligned to right and chatbot response
to the left, like WHATSAPP. Default message of chatbot should be “Welcome to the National
Museum of India! How can I help you?”. The 2 buttons should be: BOOK TICKET and MUSEUM
INFORMATION.
When user clicks on BOOK TICKET, next prompt should be SELECT DATE OF VISIT and it must display
a calendar in which the user can choose the date. After that the program should check the database
for empty slots in that particular day and display the available slots. The user can select the slot and
then it must proceed to the next step. User must choose the Ticket type. There are 3 ticket types:
SOLO (type 1), GROUP (type 2) and FAMILY (type 3) (must be displayed as buttons). If user chooses
SOLO, display: ‘What category would you like to explore? (to learn more about the categories, visit
‘MUSEUM INFORMATION’

The buttons to be displayed in this step are:

1. Art Exhibition

2. Historical Tour

3. Sculpture Showcase

4. Interactive History

5. Science Expo

Once the person selects the category, we have to start calculating the price – which can be explained
later.

If the person selects group, display: “Select the number of members in the group” the options
should be 3,4 and 5.

If person selects family, display: “Select number of children (0-9 years)” and provide the options
1,2,3 in button.

Great it worked! But one more correction, when they select FAMILY, after asking for number of
children it must also ask for number of adults. Moving to payment calculation, solo: Rs. 50 per
person

Family of 4: 30 per adult, 25 per child

Group booking: 3 – Rs. 75; 4 – Rs. 150; 5 – Rs. 175

So after the user selects the category, they must get the calculated ticket price in the display. “Total
cost:”+display cost.

After this, display: “Do you want to confirm the tickets?” the buttons: ‘Confirm’ and ‘Cancel’ must be
displayed and once they select confirm the details they entered must be updated in the database
along with new ticket number.
### Viability of the Project (Point Form)

Proven technologies are readily available and widely supported.

Cloud platforms ensure scalability and flexibility to handle peak demands.

Automates ticketing, reducing wait times, human error, and improving efficiency.

Multilingual support and intuitive design enhancing efficiency and user experience.

Long-term cost savings from reduced staffing needs and increased automation.

Growing demand for digital, automated ticketing solutions post-pandemic where younger audiences
expect modern, self-service booking experiences.

### Overall Conclusion:

The project is **highly viable** across all dimensions (technical, operational, financial, market),
offering long-term benefits, cost savings, and an enhanced visitor experience.

1. Technical Challenges:
o Integration Complexity: Difficulties in integrating chatbot, payment
gateway, and databases.
 Solution: Use well-documented APIs, conduct thorough testing, and
employ modular design to ensure seamless integration.
o System Downtime: Risk of the system crashing during peak times.
 Solution: Use cloud infrastructure with auto-scaling and load
balancing to handle high traffic.
 Natural Language Processing (NLP) Limitations: Chatbot may struggle to
o
understand diverse queries or languages.
 Solution: Continuously improve the chatbot’s language model, using
user feedback and regular updates.
2. Operational Challenges:
o Scalability: Handling large volumes of bookings during special events or peak
times.
 Solution: Implement cloud-based services with auto-scaling
capabilities to accommodate high demand.
o System Maintenance: Keeping the chatbot up to date with new features or
fixing bugs.
 Solution: Use automated CI/CD pipelines for smooth updates and
frequent testing.
3. User Challenges:
o User Resistance: Some visitors, particularly older or less tech-savvy
individuals, may be hesitant to use the chatbot.
 Solution: Provide a simple, intuitive interface and an optional manual
booking system for those who need assistance.
o User Frustration with Errors: If the chatbot fails to understand user queries
or provide accurate information, it could lead to frustration.
 Solution: Implement a fallback option to connect users with human
support or a help desk.
4. Security Challenges:
o Data Privacy and Security: Risk of personal data or payment information
breaches.
 Solution: Implement encryption, ensure compliance with data
protection regulations (e.g., PCI-DSS), and conduct regular security
audits.
o Fraud and Payment Issues: Vulnerability to fraudulent transactions or
payment failures.
 Solution: Use secure payment gateways with fraud detection measures
and robust error handling.

Overall Solutions:

By addressing these challenges through thoughtful technical design, regular updates, strong
security protocols, and user-friendly features, the project can succeed with minimized risks.
