RAILWAY RESERVATION DATABASE SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
HISTORY
A plan for a rail system in India was first put forward in 1832, but no further
steps were taken for more than a decade. In 1844, the Governor-General of India
Lord Hardinge allowed private entrepreneurs to set up a rail system in India. Tw
o new railway companies were created and the East India Company was asked to ass
ist them. Interest from a lot of investors in the UK led to the rapid creation o
f a rail system over the next few years. Railways were first introduced to India
in 1853. By 1947, the year of India's independence, there were forty-two rail s
ystems. In 1951 the systems were nationalised as one unit, becoming one of the l
argest networks in the world. IR operates both long distance and suburban rail s
ystems on a multi-gauge network of broad, metre and narrow gauges. It also owns
locomotive and coach production facilities. The first train in India became oper
ational on 1851-12-22, and was used for the hauling of construction material in
Roorkee. A few years later, on 1853-04-16, the first passenger train between Bor
i Bunder, Bombay and Thana covering a distance of 34 km (21 miles) was inaugurat
ed, formally heralding the birth of railways in India.
INTRODUCTION TO THE RESERVATION SYSTEM
The Indian Railways (IR) carries about 5.5 lakh passengers in reserved accommoda
tion every day. The computerised Passenger Reservation System (PRS) facilitates
booking and cancelling of tickets from any of the 4000 terminals (i.e PRS bookin
g windows) all over the country. These tickets can be booked or cancelled for jo
urneys commencing in any part of India and ending in
any other part, with travel times as long as 72 hours and distances up to severa
l thousand kilometers. The pilot project of PRS was launched on 15 November 1985
, over Northern Railway with the installation of the Integrated Multiple Train P
assenger Reservation System (IMPRESS), an online transaction processing system d
eveloped by the Indian Railways in association with Computer Maintenance Corpora
tion (CMC) Ltd., at New Delhi. The objective was to provide reserved accommodati
on on any train from any counter, preparation of train charts and accounting of
the money collected. This application was subsequently implemented in 1987, at M
umbai, Chennai, Kolkata and Secunderabad. With the addition of new locations and
many redefinitions, the IMPRESS system fell short of growing expectations of th
e travelling public
RAILWAY RESERVATION METHODS :
Online Booking Counter Booking
ONLINE BOOKING: This facility is given to general public by railway department.
With the help of this facility people can book their tickets through internet, s
itting in their home by a single click of the mouse. Using their credit card peo
ple can easily get their tickets done within minutes. There are certain charges
for online booking as well. COUNTER BOOKING: This is oldest method of booking th
e ticket. The reservation counters are there at railway departments from where p
eople can get the tickets to their respective destinations. Nowadays there are v
arious ticket counters, apart from railway station counters where tickets are av
ailable.
PROPOSED RESERVATION SYSTEM ADVANTAGE

The proposed system is comparatively faster than the existing system. As the pro
posed system is comparatively faster than the existing system, there will be ver
y less rush and shorter queues at the reservation counters or centers. In the pr
oposed system, we are also making database for all the trains running across the
country. As required, we can edit the database of the trains and also add the n
ew trains which will be proposed in future budgets

MAIN OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT :
1. The acquisition and maintenance of a relational database with the help of har
dware, communication network and software including system design. 2. To assess
the if system chosen in the project operates in an adequately controlled environ
ment. 3. Whether the application's control are adequate and if the system is in co
mpliance with rules. 4. Adequate security from possibilities of fraud.
5. To show an effective mechanism to ensure most economic usage of available res
ources.
6. The control mechanism for credit card transactions were adequate
SCOPE OF OUR PROJECT WORK
1. The scope of project included evaluation of the application and was primarily
concerned with the transactions related to booking of tickets from the terminal
s operated by the railway personnel.
2. Application controls, simulation and online enquiries were used to evaluate d
ata validation and program logic. The selected data, as made available, for subs
tantive checking of the completeness, integrity and consistency of data using co
mputer assisted applications such as VB, MS Access and Structured Query Language
(SQL).
REASONS FOR SELECTING THIS SYSTEM IN OUR PROJECT
Indian Railways is huge. There are umpteen number of database in its system. The
use of MS Access and Visual Basic enables the person at the booking counter a c
ustomized and easy retrieval of information. An online ticketing database allows
the users of the Indian Railways Reservation System to track the whereabouts of
their travel. The passengers who need to know whether they are in waiting list
or confirmed need not travel to the ticket counter or call railway service syste
m. With the help of an online system they can show the information in a click. I
n case of cancellation, the online system instantly credits the amount from the
passengers' account. It updates the changes instantly, thus, the user working on t
he database will not have to go to each database and make the changes
