ABSTRACT

This system is basically concerned with the reservation and cancellation of railway tickets to

the passengers. The need of this system arose because as is the known fact that India has the

largest railway network in the whole of the world and to handle it manually is quite a tough

job. By computerizing it, we will be able to overcome many of its limitations and will be able

to make it more efficient. The handling of data and records for such a vast system is a very

complex task if done manually but it can be made much easier if the system is computerized.

It reserves and cancels seats for the passenger.

It contains information about the trains.

It contains information about the passenger.

It contains the details of reservation fees, any concessions etc.

It makes entries for reservation, waiting, cancelled tickets.

It will update for uptime and downtime trains.

INTRODUCTION TO THE

ORGANIZATION

Indian Railways have been divided into 9 Zones - Western, Central, Eastern, Northern, North

Eastern, Northeast Frontier, Southern, South Central & South Eastern covering the largest

route length of over 63000 Kms of total Indian boundary. The last stations of the four

directional boundaries are West-Mumbai, South-Kanyakumari, East-Guwahati,North-Jammu.

It is the most convenient way of travelling if you are travelling on a budget. The railways

have one of the most efficient communication systems between 2 stations. The types of class

available are 1st class,AC 2tier, AC 3tier, 2nd class sleeper & chair car. The 1st class being

phased out being converted in to AC 2 tier/AC 3 tier (recently being introduced in some of

the trains).

INTRODUCTION TO THE RESERVATION

SYSTEM

The Indian Railways (IR) carries about 5.5 lakh passengers in reserved accommodation every

day. The computerized Passenger Reservation System (PRS) facilitates booking and

cancelling of tickets from any of the 4000 terminals (i.e. PRS booking windows) all over the

country. These tickets can be booked or cancelled for journeys commencing in any part of

India and ending in any other part, with travel times as long as 72 hours and distances up to

several thousand kilometers.

The pilot project of PRS was launched on 15 November 1985, over Northern

Railway with the installation of the Integrated Multiple Train Passenger

Reservation System (IMPRESS), an online transaction processing system

developed by the Indian Railways in association with Computer Maintenance

Corporation (CMC) Ltd., at New Delhi. The objective was to provide r e s e r v e d

a c c o m m o d a t i o n o n a n y t r a i n f r o m a n y c o u n t e r , p r e p a r a t i o n o f

t r a i n c h a r t s a n d accounting of the money collected. This application was

subsequently implemented in 1987, at Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata and

Secunderabad. With the addition of new locations and many redefinitions, the

IMPRESS system fell short of growing expectations of the travelling public.

Hence a new application software, i.e., Country Wide Network for Computerized

Enhanced Reservation and Ticketing (CONCERT) was developed by the Centre for

Railway Information Systems (CRIS), New Delhi primarily using ‘C’ and also using

‘FORTRAN’. The application was first implemented at the Secunderabad PRS site in

September 1994 and subsequently at the o the r f ou r PRS s i t e s .

.

i n t e r -ne two rk ing o f f i ve PR S nodes was completed in April 1999.

Interconnectivity is established between the five PRS centres over 2mbps leased

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) lines. The system has the capability

of issuing reserved tickets from anywhere to anywhere, in any train, date or class between

any pair of stations from any booking terminal of the PRS. The main modules of the PRS

are the Reservation module, the Cancellation and Modification M o d u l e , t h e

passengers’ request for reservation, cancellation and modification of journey are handled by

the system through requisition slips. Major outputs generated by the system are Reservation

cum- journey tickets, Cancellation/Modification tickets, Reservation Charts and Daily

Terminal Cash Summary. The system is also capable of generating different types of

Management Information System (MIS) Reports. Indian railway is having ten zonal railways

namely Eastern Railway (ER), Northern Railway (NR), Southern Railway (SR), Central

Railway(CR), Western Railway (WR), South Central Railway (SCR), North Eastern Railway

(NER),South Eastern Railway (SER), North East Frontier Railway (NFR) and East Central

Railway(ECR).

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, sitting in their home by a single

click of the mouse. Using their credit card people 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 the ticket. The reservation counters are there at

railway departments from where people can get the tickets to their respective destinations.

Nowadays there are various ticket counters, apart from railway station counters where tickets

are available.

FEATURES OF VISUAL BASIC

Highlights

Addressing and changing Forms,

Controls and records

Responding to clicks, typing and other events.

The VBA-language itself is rather simple and has the same components as many other

programming languages, for instance Java and C++. The difficult part is how the program

cooperates with the built-in objects and how these objects really work. This is our focus in

this chapter

88

The objects in Access

Access concepts: tables, queries, forms, and controls. How do they relate to each other? When we work

with Access, we work with two different systems, the SQL engine and Access. The Access is primarily a

tool for accessing data in databases through user windows (forms). Access can also work with other

SQL engines than Jet, for instance Oracle. When doing this, we may lose some designer features but gain

other qualities, for instance speed and reliability.

Databases: Access can handle and connect to several open databases at the same time.

Recordsets, tables and queries: A database contains a number of recordsets. Some

recordsets are tables, others are queries (shown as subclasses). Each recordset has a

description for each of its fields. The description includes the field name, the field

type, format, etc. A query has also an SQL-property - the text that describes how to

compute the records in the query. Tables and queries play much the same role. Both

of them can for instance be the record source for a Form.

Records and fields: Each recordset contains a number of records, and each record

contains a number of fields. Each field has only one attribute, the value stored in the

field. We can see the records in Datasheet view. We look either directly into a table or

into records selected and computed by a query.

Access instances: Access window has a title bar and a database window inside. The

Access window corresponds to an object in the Access class.

89

Visual Basic tools

The Visual Basic window may contain many frames. In Access 2000 and 2003, 2007 they

may be docked inside the window or undocked , i.e. floating as separate small windows. By

accident it can be docked or undocked, and it may be very frustrating trying to get

them back where it is wanted. The frame will dock somewhere along a side of the

window. Where it docks does not depend on where the frame is when the mouse button is

released. It depends on where the mouse pointer is when we release the button.

Project Explorer: To the left there is a list of all forms in the database. In object-

oriented terminology, each form is a class. The class has a code module with event

procedures for the controls on the form. When you double-click a form on the list,

you will see the code module to the right in the Visual Basic window. The database

may also contain code modules (classes) that are not forms. They are shown at the

bottom of the Project Explorer list. All code modules may contain procedures and

declare variables. VBA offers three kinds of modules:

Form module: A form module has event procedures for all controls on the form, and

it may have ordinary procedures too. It may declare variables. When you open a form,

you get an object based on the form class. The object is a visible form and it has a set

of variables corresponding to the declarations. We get more form objects, appearing

as other open copies of the form. Each copy has its own variables, but the same code.

When the code uses addresses such as Me.txtName , it refers to the controls and

variables of this particular copy of the form.

Class module: A class module corresponds to a class in other object-oriented

languages. It has procedures and declares variables, and you can create multiple

objects based on the class, each with their own variables. The only difference between

form modules and class modules is that the latter are not visible to the user and have

no controls.

Module (simple): A simple module is similar to a class but there is only one object

based on the module. The system creates this object automatically. The first versions

of Visual Basic had no class modules, only simple module.

90

Code window: To the right in the Visual Basic window, there is a code window with

the Visual Basic program. Scroll to other event procedures and controls, or they can

be selected by means of the two combo boxes at the top.

Creating an event procedure: Initially, the event procedures are not in the code, but if we

select one of them by means of the combo boxes,Visual Basic creates it. The same thing

happens if an event procedure is selected through the control's property window. However,

Access doesn't always coordinate these two things. An event procedure may be created in the

code window, but it doesn't appear in the property box. As a result, Access never calls the

event procedure.

91

FEATURES OF MS - ACCESS BASED

USER INTERFACES

Highlights

• Construct user windows ( Forms).

• Add fields, sub-windows, etc. (Controls).

• Construct menus and other details.

An Access-based user interface consists of user windows (called Forms in Access) ,menus,

and all the little things such as error messages (message boxes) and pop up help when the

cursor rests on a field (control tips). These are the things the user sees on the screen. Access

provides a lot of built-in functionality that makes the user interface respond to user actions.

However, for a real system the built-in functionality is rarely sufficient, and you will have to

add program pieces written in Visual Basic.

Forms and simple controls: This window helps the ticket booker to find a passenger

or a booking in the database. Any railways may have more than 100,000 passangers in

the database. In the Access world, the window consists of a Form with various

Controls on it. A control may be a simple field such as Last name, a button such as

Find guest , an area for a list of records such as the list of stays, and several other

things.

Text box, label and command button: The screen should show a toolbox window

where choosing between various controls. If it doesn't, use View -> Toolbox to see it.

The Text Box tool looks like ab | . It should be two grid units high and about ten units

wide. At this stage, the controls may not be properly aligned and sized. Access has

automatically added a label part to the left of the field. If we double click the text

box icon in the toolbox, the draw tool remains selected for many text boxes.

Creating a database:

Transform the data model to a database in M S Access.

Use lookup-fields to enter foreign keys and enumeration types.

92

SCOPE OF THE PROJECT

1. The scope of project included evaluation of the application and was primarily concerned with the

transactions related to booking of tickets from the terminals operated by the railway personnel.

2. Application controls, simulation and online enquiries were used to evaluate data validation and

program logic. The selected data, as made available, for substantive checking of the completeness,

integrity and consistency of data using computer assisted applications such as VB, MS Access and

Structured Query Language (SQL).

3. The records maintained in the database of the railways reservation centre were also reviewed.

Discussions were held with the database users to gain understanding regarding the various functional

aspects of the system.

93

REASONS FOR SELECTING THIS SYSTEM IN 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

customized 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 system. With the help of an online system they can show the

information in a click.

In case of cancellation, the online system instantly credits the amount from the

passengers’ account.

It updates the changes instantly, thus, the user working on the database will not have

togo to each database and make the changes.

94

MARKET POTENTIAL & COMPETITIVE

ADVANTAGE

No one can easily plan the journey comfortably as the process is efficient and fast with being

easy to access. Reservations can be made through the Indian railways site or at the sample

reservation centers all over the country. Also now there are authorized agencies which

provide reservation facility on behalf of India railways and without waiting in long line one

can easily book a ticket. The booking is done through an E- Ticket issue which has a PNR

number of which one has to take a print and just have to show at the station.

It not only provides reservation but cancellation can also be done through this system at ease

and one can use a credit card to complete the process.

This being a big step in terms of improvement in the railway system it is widely accepted

across the country.

95

CONCLUSION

This project is about the designing the railway reservation database system using

M S Access, and Visual Basic 6.0. This project presents an investigative view of present

railway reservation system including the history of railways and detail of network topology

of PRS. Present system of Indian railway reservation system is having some

shortcoming on which we have tried to work on that to eliminate the disadvantages.

We have made a database for passengers and trains and connected

these two tables from the custom made data entry form built in Visual Basic 6.0.

There are options for new entry which will be stored in M S Access database and

retrieved from database in future.

This project was a small attempt to make the railway reservation database system

using M S Access, and Visual Basic 6.0. We have talked with some of railway

officers about the features and shortcoming of present railway reservation system

after the research with the associated peop l e and o the r sou rce s we we re ab l e

t o found ou t some o f t he ma jo r f a c t s r ega rd ing t he reservation system and

tried to eliminate the shortcoming of system.

I n t he l a s t we conc lude t ha t I nd i an Ra i lway i s

hav ing a s t r ong IT In f r a s t ruc tu r e and a we l l - equipped railway reservation

system but there is some shortcoming in the system on which we have tried to work

on it and successfully completed our project.

96

FUTURE

If anyone wants to extend this project then he or she can make an additional database and

database for updated availability of seats which is available after the cancellation of ticket on

that specific train. Etc.

He or she can also add some more command buttons in the existing software and extend

working of the existing software.
