TITLE OF THE PROJECT-

Railway Reservation System

INTRODUCTION-

Railway Reservation System is loosely based on the concept IRCTCs current

railway reservation system. This project is a simple console application built
without the use of graphics. In this system, there is a login feature present in
Admin Mode where admin can create the database. The user can book tickets,
enquire about trains, and cancel tickets. The mini project contains limited but
essential features.
We have following modules in this project-
 Admin Mode: To create the database.
 Ticket Booking: Use to book tickets.
 Train Enquiry: Use for enquiring about trains.
 Ticket Cancellation: Use for cancelling tickets.

OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT-

The main objective of this project is to provide simple system for reserving tickets
and cancelling them and to enquire about trains. The user can easily book a ticket
by providing boarding station, stoppage station, train name, name and age and
phone number and date of journey. The user can also easily cancel their ticket by
entering the PNR number and also enquire about trains. The purpose of the project
is to build and program to reduce the manual work. All the transactions are
executed in offline-mode only.
SCOPE OF THE PROJECT-

 It satisfies the user requirements.

 Be easy to understand by the user and operator.
 Be easy to operate.
 Have a good interface.
 To utilize resources in an efficient manner by increasing their
productivity through automation.

METHODOLOGY-

Feasibility Study-
 The developing system must be satisfied by cost and benefit.
 One of the factors, which affect the development of a new system, is the
cost it would require.
 All hardware and software cost has to be borne by the organization.
Requirement Analysis-
 System needs to store
 System needs to store information about new ticket booking.
 System needs to maintain quantity record.
 System needs to keep the record of booking.
 System needs to update the record.
Design-
 Design various blocks for overall system processes.
 Design smaller, compact and workable modules.
 Perform documentation of the design.
 Specify the details of programs to achieve the desired functionality.
Coding-
 We would use C++ programming language for making source code of
this project.

LIMITATIONS-

Although we have put our best efforts to make this project flexible, easy to
operate but limitations can’t be ruled out even by our team. Though the software
presents various options to its users, some intricate options could not be covered
into it. Paucity of time is also major constraint. Thus this is not possible to make
the project full proof and dynamic.
