This project is mainly about railway reservation system using
socket programming.
Sockets allow communication between two different
processes on the same or different machines. To be more
precise, it's a way to talk to other computers [3].
There are many types of sockets mainly- Datagram sockets,
also known as connectionless sockets, which use User
Datagram Protocol (UDP); Stream sockets, also known
as connection-oriented sockets, which use Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) or Stream Control Transmission
Protocol (SCTP); Raw sockets, which are typically available in
routers and other network equipment- here the transport
layer is bypassed, and the packet headers are made
accessible to the application [1].
Socket programming is basically programming of sockets
which uses some functions, such as, listen(), accept(), etc.,
to communicate b/w clients and server. [2].](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/clclclclccccccccccccccc-170407143950/85/Railways-reservation-system-using-socket-programming-5-320.jpg)
Railways reservation system using socket programming
- 1. RAILWAY RESERVATION SYSTEM USING SOCKET PROGRAMMING IN ‘C’ PRESENTED BY UJJWAL MAHAJAN UTKARSH SHARMA RISHABH AGRAWAL SANYAM GARG 500041345 500041161 500041139 500040778
- 2. ABSTRACT Railway reservation must be faster and efficient. Using this program, users can book a ticket without filling a form at the railway reservation counter. Users can directly choose from the option provided such as book a ticket, cancel a ticket, etc. If a user selects to book a ticket, ticket would be booked and final amount would be displayed on the screen. Implemented through socket programming in C language.
- 3. INTRODUCTION The Project “Railway Reservation System” aims to provide a mechanism for the railway management to deal with a number of tasks efficiently using this system. There are three basic tasks under this system which are: RAILWAY MANAGEMENT FARE MANAGEMENT TIMETABLE MANAGEMENT
- 4. PROBLEM STATEMENT The existing railway reservation system has many shortcoming associated with it. In the existing system, railways used to set train reservation levels higher than seating capacity to compensate for passenger cancellation thus wasting time and money for all. With the advent of this project these flaws can be overcome. The use of Socket programming is going to do extend the reliability & extensibility of the railway and will also improve the user comfort.

- 6. OBJECTIVES To view trains between stations. To implement a chat server. To view seats available. To view status or PNR. To view train route.
- 7. METHODOLOGY File handling is used for storing database. A chat server linked with the database and clients for requesting the chat server are also created for reservation or cancellation. If any seat is available for reservation, it would respond on the request else would display a message for waiting. Basically, two kind of user are available. TEMPORARY USER. PERMANENT USER.
