RAILWAY ENQUIRY AND RESERVATION SYSTEM
[attachment=17602]
INTRODUCTION
This project aims at development of an Online Railway Reservation Utility which facilitates the Railway customers to manage their reservations online, and the Railway administrators to modify the backend databases in a User-Friendly manner.
The Customers are required to register on the server for getting access to the database and query result retrieval. Upon registration, each user has an account which is essentially the view level for the customer. The account contains comprehensive information of the user entered during registration and permits the customer to get access to his past reservations, enquire about travel fare and availability of seats, make afresh reservations, update his account details, etc.
MOTIVATION
This project is dedicated to
model the existing Railway/(other) reservation systems
provide a comprehensive set of features to enhance their operational limits
evaluate their performance in different scenarios
suggest modifications for greater efficiency
SCOPE AND FEASIBILITY
Implementations of this project idea are in industrial use in the form of irctc.co.in , etc. Hence, this can be used for suggesting improvements in design, performance and greater usability
FUNCTIONALITY
The Customer and the Railway Administrator are the two parties which interact with the database, who have different view level schemas to the database information.
Customer Services
