Railway Ticketing
INTRODUCTION
Railway Ticketing is looking for an online solution to provide travelers with all facilities on internet. Providing the facilities like information of regarding trains, seat availability, online reservation/cancellation, information about train running etc.
Improve Railway Ticketing is looking for an online solution to provide travelers with all facilities on internet. Providing the facilities like information of regarding trains, seat availability, online reservation/cancellation, information about train running etc. The role of local rail services is primarily centered on improving accessibility to the key regional and sub-regional centers. Targeted development of the network through new and improved services, opening up access to communities and ensuring major new economic development areas are connected to the rail network, where a strong case can be made for investment, taking account of the strategic role of the rail network.
The Improve Railway Ticketing is doing path-breaking work in the area of fusing IT and domain expertise for cutting edge technology projects to improve Railways' operational efficiency and customer services. Under the new system, the moment the computer shows waiting list in a train, information will also be there on all trains on that route. Once journey details and other reservation information are fed, the accommodation options for all trains on the route will be flashed simultaneously on the computer screen.
The Improve Railway Ticketing will allow the passenger and the ticket booking official to view all options in one go. Thus other passengers will not have to spend much time in the Improve Railway Ticketing centre as waiting time for them will be considerably reduced .The responsibility for the provision of rail Services and associated infrastructure is, however, split between a large number of different organizations. The Government recently published a White Paper, ‘The Future of Rail’, which sets out the conclusions of the Department of Transport’s review of the rail industry. The White Paper outlines a new structure for the railways, building on the principles of public and private partnership and identifies The following changes:
The Government will take charge of setting the strategy for the railways; Network Rail will be given clear responsibility for operating the network and for its performance; Track and train companies will work more closely; There will be more local decision making in England; The Office of Rail Regulation will cover safety, performance and cost.
System Analysis
Purpose of the System:
This system provides an online solution to provide travelers by giving facilities like information regarding trains, seat availability, online reservation or cancellation etc.
Existing System:
This system doesn’t provide register the multiple trains at a time
This system doesn’t provide online help to the public
This system doesn’t’ provide agents registration and book the bulk tickets
This system doesn’t provide late running trains information before 3 hours
Proposed System:
The development of this new system contains the following activities, which try to develop on-line application by keeping the entire process in the view of database integration approach.
This system provide online help to the public
This system provide agents registration and book the bulk tickets
This system provide late running trains information before 3 hours
In case of waitlisted tickets user must have an option of booking in multiple trains by paying only the cost of highest amount
Whichever ticket gets confirmed first is sent to the user and all others are automatically cancelled and any amount left is refunded
Online status of the tickets must be provided in real time
In users home page any information regarding late running of train must be displayed
Feasibility Study
TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY:
Evaluating the technical feasibility is the trickiest part of a feasibility study. This is because, at this point in time, not too many detailed design of the system, making it difficult to access issues like performance, costs on (on account of the kind of technology to be deployed) etc. A number of issues have to be considered while doing a technical
analysis.
i) Understand the different technologies involved in the proposed system:
Before commencing the project, we have to be very clear about what are the technologies that are to be required for the development of the new system.
ii) Find out whether the organization currently possesses the required technologies:
o Is the required technology available with the organization?
o If so is the capacity sufficient?
For instance –
“Will the current printer be able to handle the new reports and forms required for the new system?”
OPERATIONAL FEASIBILITY:
Proposed projects are beneficial only if they can be turned into information systems that will meet the organizations operating requirements. Simply stated, this test of feasibility asks if the system will work when it is developed and installed. Are there major barriers to Implementation? Here are questions that will help test the operational feasibility of a project:
Is there sufficient support for the project from management from users? If the current system is well liked and used to the extent that persons will not be able to see reasons for change, there may be resistance.
Are the current business methods acceptable to the user? If they are not, Users may welcome a change that will bring about a more operational and useful systems.
Have the user been involved in the planning and development of the project?
Early involvement reduces the chances of resistance to the system and in
General and increases the likelihood of successful project.
Since the proposed system was to help reduce the hardships encountered. In the existing manual system, the new system was considered to be operational feasible.
