ABSTRACT

Journey became part and parcel of a human being’s life. Without moving around, people cannot communicate and share the moments with others. In this busy world, especially when more and more population is seen in the developing nations, it is highly essential to have a comfortable and safe journey. When a passenger wants to go on a journey, he wants to first reserve some seat in a bus and for the intended date. This becomes easy with EWheelz software which helps in obtaining reservations of seats in a bus well before and take the tickets also online by staying at home.

EWheelz software is a globally deployable, integrated, workflow based end-to-end system  starting from searching bus routes to book them online. This is a complete application for travelers as well as venders. Vendors provide the information like, available routes, timings, price, etc. Customers can book a ticket which is a five step process that includes Search Bus, Select Bus, Select Seats, Provide Customer Information and Make Payment.  This application also provides facility to cancel a booked ticket online. There is also scope to measure the user satisfaction regarding the entire booking process. He can express his views or grievances through testimonial option in the application so that it reflects the goodwill of the travel company and helps other users to have trust in the company.

Existing System:

Here the existing system is a manual one. When a customer wants a book a ticket for his journey then he needs to go to any booking branch office physically and book the ticket. In this case the branch people needs to check the available seats by making a call to main office and then only these people can book ticket which leads to improper synchronization between the branches. We can maintain all the booking details in a record at very branch  but finally checking the availability and allotting the seats may cause some human errors. It is very difficult to maintain the booking details of each bus and their status manually.

Disadvantages:

• Difficulty in co-ordinating different branches and allotting the seats
• Customer has to come and book the ticket physically which gives competitors to grab the market
• Difficulty of maintaining each bus booking details in record.

Proposed System:

The eWheelz is to replace the existing manual systemwith a online software solution using which provides lot of flexibilities for the customers from online. Customer can book ticket according to his requirement by viewing different different buses information and their seat arrangements on the console very easily. It fills the gap between different branches and provides effective synchronization between them. It allows the customers to post their feedback which will be displayed as testimonial.

Merits of This System

• Faster processing when compared to existing one.
• Centralized sytem
• Provides convenient way for the customer to book required seat as per their convenience and cancel the ticket also.
• Providing good co-ordination between different branches.
• Provides the facility to print the ticket.

Scope Of The System:

The proposed system scope is Internet. We are using this system through out the world. In future it can be enhanced to be a global communication medium for multinational companies. We can also implement internationalization (i18n) to support user interface in various/local languages.
