Android App for Local Railway Ticketing Using GPS Validation
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
One of the biggest challenges in the current ticketing facility is "QUEUE" in buying our suburban railway tickets. In this fast growing world of technology we still stand in the queue or buy with oyster & octopus cards for our suburban tickets, which is more frustrating at times to stand in the queue or if we forget our cards. Android Suburban Railway (ASR) ticketing is mainly to buy the suburban tickets which is the most challenging when compared to booking the long journey tickets through 'M-ticket' which fails with suburban(local travel) tickets. The ASR ticket system can be bought with just a smart phone application, where you can carry your suburban railway tickets in your smart phone as a QR (Quick Response) code. It uses the smart phones "GPS" facility to validate and delete your ticket automatically after a specific interval of time once the user reaches the destination. User's ticket information is stored in a CLOUD database for security purpose which is missing in the present suburban system. Also the ticket checker is provided with a checker application to search for the user's ticket with the ticket number in the cloud database for checking purposes.
