Enhancing the railway ticket issuing procedure by enabling facilities such as online, mobile phone based ticket booking. Tickets can be purchased from teller machines which are available at railway stations. This project also interconnect all major railway stations.
Online ticket issuance is done via the Lanka Gate Country Portal and from the SLRD website Customers can pay using credit cards or via mobile services. Customers can print out the tickets that are issued online.
The teller machines will have touch screens and will accept Sri Lankan currency notes (2) The railway conductors will have handheld, battery operated barcode readers to check the validity of the tickets.
There will be a high speed network connecting major railway stations with a state of the art data center located in the Western Province. (2) The data center will have an associated DRC (Disaster Recovery Center), and will be manned 24/7, 365 days per year. (3) The SLRD data center will be connected to the Lanka Government Network (LGN) data center via a high speed VPN.
Charging services are done via Lanka Gate
As we have no clear idea about “usability” and “printed tickets with barcodes we are going to use an evolutionary approach. We have to work with SLRD, to explore their requirements and to evolve a final system iteratively. We will start the project with well understood parts of the system. The system evolves by implementing and improving features proposed by SLRD.
These phases are not distinct. These phases are done iteratively until the requirements are fulfilled.
