Acknowledgement

The project members would like to express the deepest appreciation to our teacher
Mr. Bikash Neupane, who has the attitude and the substance of a genius; he
continually and convincingly conveys a spirit of adventure in regard to guiding to
study and preparing this project.

The project members are deeply grateful to the Project Supervisor Mr. Dipak
Paudel for supervising, motivating and being co-operative throughout this project
work, who gave me the golden opportunity to do this wonderful project on the
topic Railway Reservation System, which also helped us doing a lot of Research
and The project members came to know about so many new things for which we
are really thankful to them.

Without his/her guidance and persistent help this project would not have been
possible. The project members are grateful to all the teachers who had helped us
directly and indirectly throughout this project.
 Abstract
This project enables us to choose the train even there is no necessary to fill a form
at the railway reservation counter. If there is any concession we can also avail it
and then program gives us the final output as train ticket with the amount to be
paid. Railway ticket reservation will help the passengers to book their
tickets for their journey, search train between two stations and get details of
particular t r a i n   s c h e d u l e s   i n c l u d i n g   t h e i r   f a r e   d e t a i l s . The
administrator is responsible for dealing in crucial role for keeping records and for
the secrecy of the Railway Reservation System. This project attempts to Railway
Reservation easily and adequately.

1.1 Background
This project keeps the track of Name and number of Rail, start time and
reached time, start place and reached place, distance and contact number
systematic manner. In this project, record of both the Rail station and costumer
can be added, viewed and deleted.

1.2 Significance
 It helps to reduce the complexity of Railway Ticket Reservation.
 Redundancy of data can avoid.
 It helps to reduce time and cost for reservation .

1.3 Objectives
 To provide better and efficient service to the passenger well as train worker.
 To save the information for future and to Perform multiple tasks in short time.

1.4 Features
 Add passenger
 View Ticket
 Available seat
 Cancelling Ticket
 Fair structure

Chapter 5 Limitation:

There is no research work without any limitation. The objectives mentioned may not
be fully succeeded. So some limitation occurred during this project are:-

 The software is not able to reserve tickets for more than 10 people per train.

11
 The fare allotted for every reservation is independent of 5 Kilometer
travelled instead it is set for every mode (AC, Non-AC or General) of each
train.
 The software does not provide concession in fare rates for children, aged
people, armament etc.
 The software does not take into consideration the stations falling in between
the source and destination station

Chapter 6 Future Enhancement:

 Sorting the record of passenger and empty seat serially .

 Providing automatic ID when the new passenger add their records.
 Searching the record using ID.
 Daily entry system for the passenger

12
 Chapter 7 Conclusion

The project members have a great experience designing and implementing the
Railway Reservation System by using C++ programming language and to work on its
documentation. From this project, the project members learned many new things.

This project helped us in getting the basic understanding of basic programming

concepts of C++ language such as loop, structure, arrays, file, functions etc.

The project members have used almost every concepts of C++ language we had
learned. After completing this project, the project members are in position to explain
C++language concepts and apply them to the modeling real world system.
