Brief Description
The ticket clerk here acts as a server system to manage every request from verifying login credentials to
generating unique session id for a session with user to maintain the database of reserved and unreserved seats
and also allows communication between passenger and bank for enabling online payment service.
The Passenger is expected to be computer and Internet literate and be able to use an e-commerce
website. The main screen of the Online reservation system Website will have the login function. Passenger must
have credit/debit card or internet banking account for making an online purchase of ticket. However, Passenger
is only required an account in the official website to check the trains availability and seats or reservation/PNR
status. The passenger should also have a web browser installed in is desktop and a reliable internet connection.
The Online Reservation System will be on a server named as Ticket Clerk with high speed Internet
capability. A separate server is required for making payments and that should be maintained by banks. The
server is a web based server and is therefore accessible to all. The server will use required services and source
coed to maintain the database for any update is database for seat availability as well as train availability between
stations.
The website will be the link to the reservation system. The login credentials will be verified by the
server and then it will allow the access to his/her account and then Passenger may describe about his journey for
checking trains between stations and checking the seat availability. The server will then process the request and
book the desired ticket only after making the payment which is made by making another query to the bank
server for making a purchase. The Passenger/user may then see any ticket booked or its status or can cancel
his/her ticket any time before 2 hours of departure of train from its source station.
