ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Around a period of two months I was working hard to achieve my goal. I have strived hard to
complete my assignment. My goal was to give an exceptional and appreciating performance.
Though there were lots of problems I had faced but I moved on and on.
Firstly, I would like to thank APIIT SD INDIA to provide me the opportunity to do
such an assignment. I am very much thankful to my Module Lecturer Ms. Sulekh Sharma. For
her uninterrupted support in the development of the assignment and have enabled me to complete
my assignment on the given period of time. She was always there to listen and to give advice and
she also taught me how to express my ideas and views professionally. I greatly acknowledge the
effective contribution of Director R.K Choudhary, who encouraged me and provided me with all
kinds of conveniences including Ultra modern Library and Computer Lab. I would also like to
thank all our friends, family and everybody else who helped me anyways in our assignment.
Last but not the least; I want to acknowledge all my friends and colleagues who supported me in
my assignment.

1.0. Introducing Online Railway Reservation System
Technology has transformed many aspects of life in the 21st century, including the way many of
us make train reservations. For example, to make ticketing more convenient for travelers, Indian
Railways* has started an online reservation system, which helps us in booking tickets from the
comfort of our homes or offices. While this is convenient for most people, it has made things
particularly easier for people residing in remote locations.
The system is basically concerned with the reservation and cancellation of railways tickets of the
passenger. 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 easier if the
system is computerized.

a very complex task if done manually but it can be made easier if the system is computerized.
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.
2.0. Abstract
Railway Reservation System is a complex online distributed transaction application based
on client server architecture. The salient features of the software include allowing user from
anywhere to do a booking for a journey in any train in any class from anywhere to anywhere;
handling reservation, modifications cancellation/refunds.

This project is all about the railway reservation online i.e., Software includes allowing
user from anywhere to do a booking for a journey in any train in any class from anywhere to
anywhere; handling reservation, modifications cancellation/refunds.
3.0. Problem Background
In the existing system Reservation is done manually by a user at railway reservation
counters. User has to wait for a long time in the queue to get the reservation. Like this wasting
the time of user and for this lot of man power is required. and lot of paper work is also required.
4.0. Proposed Solution
To avoid all the above pitfalls the system proposed is “Railway Reservation System”. In this all
the reservation process through online. This system saves money, manpower, time. It provides
security compared to existing system.
The basic functions being performed by our system are status, reservation and cancellation.
These functions will be handles with the help of following sub functions:-
 It reserves and cancels seats of passenger.
 It contains Information about the stations.
 It contains information about the trains.
 It contains information about the passenger.
 It contains the details of reservations fare.
 It makes entries for reservation, waiting, cancelled tickets.
 It will update for uptime and downtime trains.
 The passenger could search for trains from a particular source to destination.
 The record of train status includes dates for which tickets can be booked, total number of
seats available, number of seats already booked and waiting slot
How does it work?
Railway Reservation system is to eliminate heavy load paper work by converting it into web
based computer process. This web-based application is completely client - server oriented for
processing

5.0. Programming Environment
Visual Studio .NET2008
Visual Studio .Net is the rapid application development tool for BASIC. Visual Studio .Net
offers complete integration with ASP.NET and enables to drag and drop server controls and
design Web Forms as they should appear when user views them.
ASP.NET programming languages
ASP.NET has been designed to work seamlessly with WYSIWYG HTML editors and other programming
tools, including Microsoft Visual Studio .NET. Not only does this make Web development easier, but it
also provides all the benefits that these tools have to offer, including a GUI that developers can use to
drop server controls onto a Web page and fully integrated debugging support. Developers can choose
from the following two features when creating an ASP.NET application, Web Forms and Web services,
or combine these in any way they see fit.
SQL Server 2008
A database system must provide the following features:
 A variety of user interfaces
 Physical & Logical data independence
 Query optimization
 Data integrity
 Concurrency control
 Backup and recovery
 Security and authorization
SQL Server is a Relational Database Management System. The SQL Server relational language
is called Transact-SQL.SQL is asset-oriented language. This means that SQL can query many
rows from one or more tables using just one statement. This feature allows the use of this
language at a logically higher level than procedural languages. Another important property of
SQL is its non- procedurally. SQL contains two sub languages DDL and DML.

16.0 Conclusion
The main aim of developing Reservation system is to provide all information that is required by
the users. User friendliness is a must that is the user must get the details without complicated searching
procedures. Other important requirements of software are data security, extensibility and maintainability.
All these features are included in this web application.
The project greatly helped in understanding the various phases in website development and
exposure to a new developer platform MS Visual Studio .Net and database MS SQL Server.
