3.2 Advanced Preliminary Research
The idea came to the mind of developer while going through the railway station to get the general
ticket with the counter after standing in long queue which is the offline mode. Developer has seen
that due to this long queue or we can say that due to less counter some of the people who are in
hurry to pick his train he/she didn’t able to get the ticket only due to the long queue and the less
counter and due to this it is directly effect to the revenue of the railway. Then the developer has
crack the idea in his mind why not we do this in online mode, as we know that the irctc website
for railway which booked the reserved ticket only but developer think that why it is not possible
that we can book the general ticket in online to solve these problems which are facing by the
general user and it is also directly beneficial to the revenue of the railway people get more ticket
no any problem to stand in queue and it’s also save the time of the people.
As we also know that we are in that era where android mobile is the common for every user. If we
take the hundred people 95% of the people having own smartphone in his hand so why not, we
develop the system in android mobile. There are a lot of application like UTS (Unreserved
Ticketing System), IRCTC Rail info etc. which show the list of the general train, fare of every
train but none of them can book the ticket for the general travelling purpose. In the last year april
2015 irctc has launched the one application which is UTS (Unreserved Ticketing System) which I
want to develop but the main drawback of that system is it just book the ticket for only some select
cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Calcutta etc. but some who wants to travel in the general from Delhi to
Panipat this app is useless so for that these users have to go in offline mode i.e. counter based
ticket. So, developer wants to develop the application like irctc but only for the general as well as
for the platform ticket and stored the user information at the time of registration in the database
for the security purpose and also developer want to gives the facility to the user to the balance
through his e-wallet which is time saving process more in compare to online transaction some time
it being with friend or family transaction process is lost. Also, developer wants to give the ticket
to the users in the form of QR code which is more better way in compare to printed ticket. It that
QR code is has scan by the TTEs where the all the user information is stored in the database and
it also show that the ticket is valid or not. These all the thing which developer think that it is totally
new because none of the system exists in now days so in future it may be possible that it is directly
useful and implemented by the irctc.
The application’s domain area is focused on android based application and mobile computing. To
have a deep knowledge of user requirements and important aspects of the system, researcher has
to implement the technology to reduce problems faced by the user at the time of getting ticket.

An activity diagram is a type of UML (Unified Modeling Language) diagram that visualizes the
flow of activities or actions within a system or process. It is used to model the workflow or
behavior of a system, showing how different activities are performed sequentially or concurrently.
Key Components of an Activity Diagram:
1. Activities:Activities represent the tasks or actions performed within the system. They are
depicted as rounded rectangles and can include actions such as "Upload Resume,"
"Analyze Data," or "Generate Report."
2. Transitions: Transitions show the flow of control between activities. They are represented
by arrows and indicate the sequence of activities in the workflow. Transitions may also
include conditions or triggers that determine when one activity leads to another.
3. Decision Points (Branches): Decision points, often depicted as diamonds, represent points
in the workflow where the sequence of activities may diverge based on certain conditions
or criteria. They are used to model decision-making processes within the system.
4. Forks and Joins: Forks represent points in the workflow where multiple activities can be
performed concurrently or in parallel. Joins indicate the merging of multiple parallel paths
back into a single flow.
5. Start and End Nodes: Start nodes indicate the beginning of the workflow, while end nodes
represent the completion or termination of the process. They are typically depicted as solid
circles or ovals.
6.4 Normalization
Ensures that each column in a table contains atomic values, meaning that there are no repeating
groups or multivalued attributes. To achieve 1NF, you split the table into smaller tables and ensure
that each attribute contains only single values.
Ensures that non-key attributes are fully dependent on the primary key and not on a subset of the
primary key. This involves removing partial dependencies by splitting tables further and creating
relationships between them.
Ensures that there are no transitive dependencies, meaning that non-key attributes are not
dependent on other non-key attributes. To achieve 3NF, you further decompose tables and remove
any attributes that depend on other non-key attributes.
CHAPTER 7: IMPLEMENTATION
7.1 Introduction
After the completion of the design phase, the developer analyzed that it was necessary that the
requirements quoted down must meet the proposed system development schema. Implementation
phase is one of the most essential stages of any project as the developer would work to implement
the system design into a real system. Implementation phase involves the vivid usage of tools to
convert the design modules into a real working system. For working on the real system, the
prerequisite for the developer would be a programming language and a programming tool. The
developer chooses to work Android SDK and the development language chosen would be JAVA.
The developer had to undergo through a series of errors which was obstructing the implementation
tenure. This chapter further throws light on how the design has been implemented and what were
the shortcomings during the making of the system. Furthermore, list of problems are mentioned
and what were the probable solutions that were provided.
