Dynamic Seat Allocation in Indian Railways

This document summarizes a proposed model called the Dynamic Seat Allocation system to improve the journey experience for waiting list passengers on Indian Railways. It describes problems with the current system such as people boarding without tickets. The proposed model uses handheld devices for Train Ticket Examiners to quickly scan QR codes on tickets. This allows verification of passenger information by connecting to the Passenger Reservation System database. It also allows for vacant seats to be reallocated to the waiting list. The system aims to bring more transparency and reduce activities of unauthorized ticket sellers.

Abstract-
 World’s largest human transport system is Indian Railway, is currently
dealing with a lot of problems, such as availability of confirming seat if
available during immediate cancellation / getting down at destination.
 where other waiting list passesnger from that destination can board a train
and reach the destination to avoid not allowing the other people who enter
the train without buying tickets and then buy tickets from tc, reduce the
burden of passenger to carry ticket.
 Moreover, authentication seat allocation checking by tc is done using an
another android app for tc which verifies qr code information with the
database and reduces the burden of tc. Through this research paper our
approach is to make journey of waiting list passengers more convenient in
Indian Railway
Indian Railway
 Indian Railway is India’s third largest human transport system over
which 2 crore people travel daily all over India.
 Even if there are seat available random people who don’t buy tickets
enter the compartment and buy tickets from the tc.
 These waiting list passengers accomplish their journey from their
source station to destination in standing mode.
 The number of passengers in Indian Railway has been increasing
drastically in every year, in a rate of 25 to 50 percent from its previous
year.
 Increase rushes in train which results “happy journey” slogan of Indian
Railway in to “unhappy journey”.
QR code 2d Image
 There are different forms of qr code ie 2d,3d,4d etc as the dimention
increases process time and scanning time increases to avoid this we
make use of qr code 2d image which reduces the time of scanning and
makes the work of tc much faster. 1sp16is039
PROBLEMS IN CURRENT SYSTEM
 There is possible to book illegally and sell the tickets at more price.
 Less use of technology , for example travelling ticket examiner still use
pen and reservation charts to verify the chats .
 Lack of optimization in seat allocation, for example whether passenger
has boarded or not his seat remains reserved till his destination.
 One of the problems is, with the waiting list passengers, because they
are not able to get their confirm seat up to their destination due to
rush.
Proposed Model
 The dynamic seat allocation system is the proposed model which is
helpful to Indian Railway in many ways.
 If anyone want to discontinue the journey then check-out procedure
will be followed that gives the vacant seat information to the PRS and
PRS will allot this seat to a non-confirmed passenger informing by an
SMS.
 In this device there will be 3 interfaces as follows.
 i. CHECK-IN
 ii.CHECK-OUT
 iii. BOOKING
 Our proposed DSA model is divided in the following submodule
 (A) Little modification in current Passenger Reservation System.
 (B) Check-in, Check-out and Booking procedure.
 (C) Automatic up gradation procedure.
 (D) Allocation Procedure.
Modification in Current Passenger
Reservation System
 for example
http://xyz.in/nr/c4Lj9gMwhich is
passenger specific and give the detail of
that passenger from whom the QR-Code is
extracted.
 A sample of QR-Code image is given in
the following
Check –IN and Check OUT
CHECK IN
TTEs make a request to passenger to show his ticket.
 Passenger places his Mobile Phone or ticket in his hand
near Hand Held Terminal of TTEs to read QR barcode for
check-in.
The information obtained from PRS is then matched with
the ticket of passenger.
CHECK OUT
TTE press the check-out interface and scan the QR code.
HHT redirects to PRS server and fetch the passenger detail.
 TTE authenticate the passenger with the Information
provided by PRS server and press OK
BOOKING
 This is used when a passenger is boarded in the train without ticket.
 TTE press the Booking interface in HHT and its camera is switched on
to take a snap of passenger or her ID card or her photograph.
 Enters her name and journey detail
 After payment ticket is booked and she is authorized to travel in the
train.
END OF THE JOURNEY:
 Now the check-out procedure is done automatically by the DSA system
when the passenger completes his journey and leaves the train. B. But
if the passenger left the journey in-between due to his personal reason
then the TTEs will check-out to give the information to DSA for
dynamically allocation of seat.
Automatic Upgradation Procedure
 The DSA Architecture is based on 3-tier
client-server distributed transaction
paradigm as shown in figure.
 The system has distributed architecture
with 5 server clusters placed in server
centers in five cities:
 Mumbai, New Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai
and Secunderabad along with the PRS
server.
 The server clusters are connected
together by a core network based on a
mesh of 02×02 Mbps leased lines using
RTR (Reliable Transmission Router) as
middleware.
CONCLUSION
 This model proposes radical change in train operation and passenger
experience.
 Hand Held Devices are given to TTEs for smooth and faster verification
of passengers.
 QR code is printed on the tickets and this QR code is scanned by HHT
devices.
 In QR code a passenger specific URL is stored, when HHT device
encode this URL by Check-in process it redirects to PRS server and
fetch stored data to verify the passenger.
 Check-in process updates the information of all passengers available in
the train and let the DSA server to make the seat reserve or vacant.
 DSA server allot the seats of absent passengers to waitlisted passengers
and if still some seats remain vacant then reflect them as available
across railway network from where any passenger willing to board on it
can book the ticket.
 These technology inclusions in the railway bring transparency and
reduce the activities of touts at peak seasons.
 Finally we proposed the “Online Reservation System Using QR
Code based Android Application System” to solve the problems in
the IndianRailway.
