Advanced train reservation and passenger intimation with safety system

In India train is the preferred mode of transport most widely used by all class of people. The present system needs much advancement in railway communication system in the area of journey reservation, catering, safety and rescue operations. It is pertinent to bring out here the present expectation of passenger should be of interactive mode and user friendly. This paper technically brings out a visible solution for modernising the railway system. By listing the priorities it is seen that there is a need for display of seat layout for passenger selection during reservation. The present static reservation chart displayed on the train lacks updated information for the usage of enroute passengers. Also there is no facility for finding out details such as actual arrival and departure timing for onboard passengers, catering arrangements and rescue operations for intimation and immediate action. For obtaining technical solution this paper proposes to take the help of modern technologies such as GPS, touch screens, GSM and other advanced communication system. Alarm, trip system and interlock can be provided in the hardware for meeting exigency.
