1. ABSTRACT

Traveling is a large growing business across all countries. Bus reservation system
deals with maintenance of records of details of each passenger who had reserved a seat
for a journey. It also includes maintenance of information like schedule and details of
each bus.

We observed the working of the Bus reservation system and after going through it,
we get to know that there are many operations, which they have to do manually. It takes a
lot of time and causes many errors. Due to this, sometimes a lot of problems occur and
they were facing many disputes with customers. To solve the above problem, and further
maintaining records of items, seat availability for customers, price of per seat, bill
generation and other things, we are offering this proposal of reservation system.

By using this software, we can reserve tickets from any part of the world, through
telephone lines, via internet. This project provides and checks all sorts of constraints so
that user does give only useful data and thus validation is done in an effective way.

2. INTRODUCTION

Our project is to computerize traveling company to manage data, so that all the
transactions become fast and there should not be any error in transaction like calculation
mistake, bill generation and other things. It replaces all the paper work. It keeps records
of all bills also, giving to ensure 100% successful implementation of the computerized
Bus reservation system.

Our reservation system has three modules. First module helps the customer to
enquire the availability of seats in a particular bus at particular date. Second module helps
him to reserve a ticket. Using third module he can cancel a reserved ticket.

 First module retrieves data from tables required for enquire.

 Second module inserts values into the tables on reservation.

 Third module deletes values into from the table on cancellation of tickets.

As our application is hosted using IIS Server onto internet it can be accessed by
many number of people concurrently.

3. SYSTEM STUDY

System study aims at establishing requests for the system to be acquired, development
and installed. It involves studying and analyzing the ways of an organization currently
processing the data to produce information. Analyzing the problem thoroughly forms the vital
part of the system study. In system analysis, prevailing situation of problem is carefully
examined by breaking them into sub problems. Problematic areas are identified and information
is collected. Data gathering is essential to any analysis of requests. It is necessary that this
analysis familiarizes the designer with objectives, activities and the function of the organization
in which the system is to be implemented.

3.1. Study of existing system

 Existing system is totally on book and thus a great amount of manual work has to be
done. The amount of manual work increases exponentially with increase in bus
services.

 Needs a lot of working staff and extra attention on all the records.

 In existing system, there are various problems like keeping records of items, seats
available, prices of per/seat and fixing bill generation on each bill.

 Finding out details regarding any information is very difficult, as the user has to go
through all the books manually.

 Major problem was lack of security.

3.2. Proposed system

The system is very simple in design and to implement. The system requires very low system
resources and the system will work in almost all configurations. It has got following features

 Ensure data accuracy.

 Records are efficiently maintained by DBMS.

 DBMS also provides security for the information.

 Any person across the world, having internet can access this service.
Bus Ticket Reservation P a g e |6

 Availability of seats can be enquired very easily.

 Passengers can also cancel their tickets easily.

 Minimum time needed for the various processing

 Better Service

 Minimum time required

 This would help the corporation prepare and organize its schedules more efficiently on
the basis of traffic demand.

3.3. Introduction about the front end(.NET)

This proposed software is going to be development using the latest technology from Microsoft
called Microsoft .NET and it is the software that connects information, people, systems, and
devices. It spans clients, servers, and developer tools, consists of:

 The .NET Framework 3.0 used for building and running all kinds of software,
including Web-based applications, smart client applications, Mobile applications
etc.

 Development tools, such as Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2010, which provides
an integrated development environment (IDE) for maximizing development
productivity with the .NET Framework.

3.4. Introduction about the back end(SQL SERVER 2008)

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 is comprehensive, integrated data management and analysis
software that enables organizations to reliably manage mission-critical information and
confidently run today’s increasingly complex business applications. SQL Server 2008 allows
companies to gain greater insight from their business information and achieve faster results for a
competitive advantage.

 SQL Server is the fastest growing Database and Business Intelligence vendor.

 SQL Server is more secure than Oracle. Since July 2003 more than 100 critical Oracle
database security vulnerabilities have been identified, compared to ZERO for SQL Server
for that period.

7. TESTING

Testing is an investigation to provide clients with information about the quality

of the product. Testing method can be implemented at each phase in the
development process, however the most test effort is employed after the
requirements have been defined and coding process has been completed.
