Train Ticket Reservation System in Railways Based On RFID Technology

Indian Railway is currently dealing with a lot of problems such as availability of confirming seat to waiting list passengers after its departure. Moreover, there is no such system or regulation in Indian railway that instantly gives accommodation to waiting list passengers during their journey. This paper proposes the Dynamic Seat Allocation (DSA) in train ticket reservation system by considering the advantage of RFID tag processing which seem use of wireless communication. RFID tags are embedded within train tickets, for allowing real-time monitoring of seat occupancy status. RFID readers are installed in the trains to track seat availability continuously. Based upon reservation, passengers RFID tag enabled tickets are scanned and the system dynamically allocates available seats to Waiting list passenger by means of factors such as passenger preferences and real-time seat availability.
