INTRODUCTION
1.1 About Your Project

This project will give us the information about railway reservation .

This system is basically concerned with the reservation and
cancellation of railway tickets to the passengers. To be more specific,
our system is limited in such a way that a
train starting from a particular source will have a single destination .
The basic functions being performed by our system are reservation and
cancellation.

Customers can find the proper and correct information about the railway
and shows the

 It reserves and cancels seats for the passenger.

It contains information about the trains.
It contains information about the Seat Availability
Railway time table
Reservation Possibilities.
 Train Ticket booking,
 Booked Railway Ticket Status,
 Train between station

1.2 Features Of Project

1. Searching of data is easy
2. Passengers don't have to wait for a long time
3. Information is accurate
4. It is a fast process
5. Data efficiency is more

1.3 Scope
The scope of this project is limited to an engineering college. This project aims to

maintain passenger and train information.Other scopes of this project are as follows:

•Freight Revenue enhancement

•Passenger Revenue enhancement

•Improved and optimised service

1.4 Limitations:
When the train journeys started in India, it used to work with steam
engines and it has developed through time till they become electric
express trains. Thanks to modern technology, the Indian Railways have
now their distinguished revolutionary concept to the extent that you can
have your reservation while you are at home using the internet. No doubt,
this is a very brave step; especially when you talk about a country where
internet illiteracy is so highhig
1.5 Process Framework
A process framework establishes the foundation for a complete software
process by identifying a small number of framework activities that are
applicable to all software projects, regardless of their size and complexity.
In addition, the process framework encompasses a set of umbrella
activities that are applicable across the entire software process.

The following generic process framework is applicable to the vast

majority of software projects.

Communication: The framework activity involves heavy communication

and collaboration with the customer and encompasses requirements
gathering and other related activities.
Planning: This activity establishes a plan for the software engineering
work that follows. It describes the technical tasks to be conducted, the
risks that are likely, the resources that will be required, the work products
to be produced, and a work schedule.
Modeling: This activity encompasses the creation of models that allow
the developer and the customer to better understand software
requirements and the design that will achieve those requirements.
Construction: this activity combines code generation and the testing that
is required uncovering errors in the code.
Deployment: The software is delivered to the customer who evaluates the
delivered product and provides feedback based on the evaluation.
The modeling activity is composed of two software engineering actions-
analysis and design. Analysis encompasses a set of work
tasks(requirements gathering, elaboration, negotiation, specification and
validation) that leads to the creation of the analysis model. Design
encompasses work tasks(data design, architectural design, interface
design, and component-level design) that create a design model.
The framework described is complemented by a number of umbrella
activities-
 Software project tracking control
 Risk Management
 Software Quality Assurance
 Formal Technical Reviews
 Measurement
 Software Configuration Management
 Reusability Management
 Work Product Preparation and Production

Feasibility Study
2.1Feasibility Study
feasibility study is a study, usually done by engineers, that establishes
whether conditions are right to implement a particular project. Feasibility
studies can be done for many purposes, and are sometimes done in IT in
order to look at feasibility for new hardware and software setups.

2.2 Three Phases Of Feasibility Study

Technical Feasibility

This is concerned with specifying equipment and software that will

successfully satisfy the user requirement. The technical needs of the

system may vary considerably, but might include :

• The facility to produce outputs in a given time.

• Response time under certain conditions.

• Ability to process a certain volume of transaction at a particular speed.

• Facility to communicate data to distant locations.

• Response time under certain conditions.

• Ability to process a certain volume of transaction at a particular speed.

• Facility to communicate data to distant locations.

Operational Feasibility

This is mainly related to human organizational and political aspects. The

points to be considered are:

• What changes will be brought with the system?

• What organizational structure are disturbed?

• What new skills will be required? Do the existing staff members have

these skills? If not, can they be trained in due course of time?

This feasibility study is carried out by a small group of people who are

familiar with information system technique and are skilled in system

analysis and design process.

Proposed projects are beneficial only if they can be turned into

information system that will meet the operating requirements of the

organization. This test of feasibility asks if the system will work when it

is developed and installed.

2.3 Steps Involved In Feasibility Analysis

Step 1: Conduct a Preliminary Analysis. ...

Step 2: Prepare a Projected Income Statement. ...

Step 3: Conduct a Market Survey. ...

Step4: Plan Business Organization and Operations. ...

Step 5: Prepare an Opening Day Balance Sheet. ...

Step 6: Review and Analyze All Data. ...

Step 7: Make "Go/No Go" Decision.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT

SPECIFICATION

3.1 INTRODUCTION

software requirements specification (SRS) is a

detaileddescription of a software system to be developed

with its functional and non-functional requirements. The

SRS is developed based the agreement between customer

and contractors. It may include the use cases of how user is

going to interact with software system. The software

requirement specification document consistent of all

necessary requirements required for project development.

To develop the software system we should have clear

understanding of Software system. To achieve this we need

to continuous communication with customers to gather all

requirements.

3.3 DETAIL DESCRIPTION OF THE

PROJECT

The Indian Railways (IR) carries about 5.5 lakhs passengers in

reserved accomodation every day.The Computerised Passenger

Reservation System(PRS) facilates the booking and cancellation

of tickets from any of the 4000 terminals(i.e. PRS bookin window

all over the countries). These tickets can be booked or cancelled

for journeys commencin in any part of India and ending in any

other part, with travel time as long as 72hours and distance upto

several thousand kilometers.

The project of PRS was launched on 15th November 1985,

over Northern Railway with the installation of Integrated

Multiple Train Passenger Reservation System(IMPRESS), an

online transaction processing system developed by Indian

Railways in association with Computer Maintenance Corporation

Ltd., at New Delhi. The objective was to provide reserved

accomodations on any train from any counter,preparation of train

charts and accounting of the money collected. The application

was implemented in 1987

Mumbai,Chennai,Kolkata,Secunderabad subsequently

3.3.1 INTRODUCTION
 Railway passengers frequently need to know about their ticket

reservation status, ticket availability on a particular train or for a

place,train arrival or departure details, special trains etc.. Customer

information centers at the railway stations are unable to serve such

queries at peak periods.

 The number of the reservation counters available to the passengers

and customers are very less.

  On most of the reservation systems there are long queues, so it takes

a long time for any individual to book the ticket.

 As now there are no call centers facilities available to solve the

queries of the passengers.

3.3.2 OVERALL DESCRIPTION

 ONLINE BOOKING: With the help of this people can book their

tickets online through internet, sitting in their home by a single click

of mouse. Using their credit cards people can easily get their tickets

done within minutes. There are certain charges for online booking as

well.

 COUNTER BOOKING: This is the oldest method of booking the

tickets. The reservation counters are there at railway department

from where people can get the tickets to their respective

destinations.

 3.6 INTRODUCTION TO VISUAL
BASIC/C++
Microsoft Visual C++ (often abbreviated to MSVC) is
an integrated development environment (IDE) product
from Microsoft for the C, C++, and C++/CLI programming
languages. MSVC is proprietary software; it was originally a
standalone product but later became a part of Visual Studio and
made available in both trialware and freeware forms. It features
tools for developing and debugging C++ code, especially code
written for the Windows API, DirectX and .NET.
Many applications require redistributable Visual C++ runtime
library packages to function correctly. These packages are often
installed independently of applications, allowing multiple
applications to make use of the package while only having to
install it once. These Visual C++ redistributable and runtime
packages are mostly installed for standard libraries that many
applications use.

 CHAPTER 4

ANALYSIS
1. In Online Railway Reservation System,for booking the

tickets online the intended user has to enter details like

username and password.

2. Once the username and passwords are verified then he is

allowed to enter the main system wherein he can select the

destination, date and no of tickets.

3. For the purchase of the tickets he is asked for payment

details (like credit card details etc).

4. The user is also provided with a provision of canceling the

reservation where in the entire amount is credited back to his

account.

The analysis part also comprises of the UML diagrams

that boost the program.

4.2 SPIRAL MODEL DIAGRAM

4.3 SPIRAL MODEL

 The spiral model, originally proposed by Boehm

[BOE88], is an evolutionary software process model that

couples the iterative nature of prototyping with the

controlled and systematic aspects of the linear sequential

model.
  It provides the potential for rapid development of

incremental versions of the software. Using the spiral

model, software is developed in a series of incremental

releases.

 During early iterations, the incremental release might be a

paper model or prototype. During later iterations,

increasingly more complete versions of the engineered

system are produced.

 A spiral model is divided into a number of framework

activities, also called task regions. Typically, there are

between three and six task regions.

4.4 USE OF SPIRAL MODEL

Figure depicts a spiral model that contains six task regions:

• Customer communication—tasks required to establish

effective communication between developer and customer.

• Planning—tasks required to define resources, timelines,

and other project related information.

• Risk analysis—tasks required to assess both technical and

management

risks.

• Engineering—tasks required to build one or more

representations of the

application.

• Construction and release—tasks required to construct, test,

install, and

provide user support (e.g., documentation and training).

• Customer evaluation—tasks required to obtain customer

feedback based
 on evaluation of the software representations created during

the engineering

stage and implemented during the installation stage.

determine whether a system under test satisfies requirements or works

correctly.The process of developing test cases can also help find problems

in the requirements or design of an application.

6.2 TYPES OF TESTING

Unit testing

Integration testing

System testing

Sanity testing
Smoke testing

Interface testing

Regression testing

Beta/Acceptance testing
 CHAPTER CONCLUSION
Practical Training is a very important part of the curriculum as it

strengthens the concepts and enhances knowledge about the practical

implementation of all the theory concepts, we have learn so far in

different subjects.

Our project is railway reservation system. This project is used to keep a

track on reserving the seat to the passenger. It helpsmanaging the

system very efficiently and conveniently.

Although the project work has been done in a complete and detailed

manner but due to the constraint of time, we could not include some

more features we wanted to. We left these features as a part of the

feature development. As soon as we’ll get time we’ll try to add them to

my project.
