This document provides an overview of a proposed railway reservation system project. The goals are to automate the reservation process and make it more efficient and fast. The system will include modules for train schedules, seat allocation, fare calculation, and administration features. It aims to provide security, accuracy, and reduce manual work while giving users and administrators a friendly interface. The software will use Visual Basic and MS Access, and require at least 512MB RAM and 20GB hard disk on Windows OS.

3. INTRODUCTION
Railway Reservation System is developed for to automate the railway reservation
system. It includes modules required to successfully operate railway reversion
process smoothly. It has train master to add modify train information, Train
schedule to enter train journey details include all the station name, arrival time
and departure time. It includes automatic fare calculation as per the distance
between two stations.
Reservation module consists of automatic seat no and coaches no allocation
system. Daily schedule for updating of not confirm seat and coach no. All master
like train master, train schedule, reservation fees, cancellation fees charges can be
modified individually from front end and changes reflect in all modules
immediately.
Therefore proposed “Railway Reservation System” has been designed to automate
the process of railway for ticket reservation and back office activities. System can
make the daily activities efficient and providing the fast response.
GOALS & OBJECTIVES
Our project introduces railway reservation system with an objective to make the
reservation system more efficient, easier and fast. This project explores how
computer technology can be used to solve the problem of user. The main objectives
provided bythis software are as follows:
 To enquire about availability oftrains
 To reserve and cancel their seats
 To modify the information related to
a) Trains
1. Time Table

4. 2. Train Name
3. Train Number
b) Ticket Fare
This project is dedicated to model existing railway reservation systems that aim at
development of Railway Reservation System that facilitates the railway customer to
manage their reservations and the railway administrator to modify the backend database in a
user-friendly manner.

5. SCOPE OF PROPOSED SYSTEM
The aim of proposed system is to develop a system of improved
facilities. The proposed system can overcome all the limitations of the
existing systems. The system provides proper security and reduces the
manual work.
 Security of data.
 Ensure data accuracy’s.
 Proper control of the higher officials.
 Minimize manual data entry.
 Minimum time needed for the various processing.
 Greater efficiency.
 Better service.
 User friendliness and interactive.
 Minimum time required.
