Railway Reservation System || C Code Projects for School students

 Reference: CCP_L01_D03_Railway Reservation System

🚆 Introduction

A Railway Reservation System is an essential tool for booking and managing train tickets. This project, developed in C programming, is a simple yet powerful way for students (8-16 years old) to learn file handling, functions, structures, and modular programming.

In this blog, we will explore how the Railway Reservation System in C works, its features, functionalities, and enhancements, along with the full C source code for implementation.


📌 Project Overview

Project Name: Railway Reservation System
 
Programming Language: C
 
Target Audience: Beginner Students (8-16 years old)
 
Development Tools: Code::Blocks IDE with MinGW C Compiler
 
Data Storage: File-based system using trains.dat


📌 Features of the Railway Reservation System

🔹 View Train Schedule: Displays available trains, routes, and seat availability.
 ðŸ”¹ Seat Availability Checking: Ensures users can check vacant seats before booking.
 ðŸ”¹ Ticket Booking System: Books a ticket, assigns a seat, and generates a PNR number.
 ðŸ”¹ Ticket Cancellation: Allows users to cancel tickets and update seat availability.
 ðŸ”¹ File Handling: Stores train data permanently in a file (
trains.dat).


📌 Code Implementation

The system is implemented in a single C source file, adhering to modularity with separate functions for booking, cancellation, and train management.

🔹 Functions Used:

     viewTrains() – Displays available trains.

     bookTicket() – Takes user details and assigns a seat.

     cancelTicket() – Cancels booking and updates seats.

     loadTrains() – Reads train details from a file.

     saveTrains() – Saves train details to a file.

🔹 File Handling:

     The system reads and writes train details from trains.dat.

     A separate program (create_trains.c) initializes train data.


📌 How to Run the Project?

1️⃣ Download & Install Code::Blocks IDE with MinGW C Compiler.
 2️⃣ Copy & Paste the C Code into a new project in Code::Blocks.
 3️⃣
Run the create_trains.c program to generate trains.dat.
 4️⃣
Run railway_reservation.c and interact via the menu-driven system.


📌 Enhancements & Future Scope

🔹 Add User Authentication (Admin, Operator, Passenger).
 ðŸ”¹ Implement Graphical UI using
graphics.h.
 ðŸ”¹ Introduce Dynamic Pricing & Waitlist Management.
 ðŸ”¹ Store ticket booking data permanently in a file.


🎯 Conclusion

This Railway Reservation System in C is a fantastic project for students to learn real-world programming concepts like file handling, functions, and data structures. With further enhancements, this can become a more robust system for real-world applications.
