Indian Railway is the world largest transport system which is currently facing a lot of human-related errors and problems. This paper tries to address the problems associated with manual system of ticket verification and seat allocation. This investigation presents an automated biometric system for use in Indian Railway for ticket verification, which verifies passenger’s ticket through the biometric input (fingerprint). This minimizes the work of ticket collector in rail transportation. As in India, Aadhaar card is mandatory for all, it used as a tool for the project. The module installed in each compartment gets the passenger’s fingerprint and authentication is done using the information linked with Aadhaar id. Additionally, using GSM, information regarding berth confirmation will be immediately sent to the reservation against cancellation (RAC) passengers through SMS. By digitalizing the ticket verifying process, human errors can be highly reduced and verification process time can be minimized. And also, RAC passengers do not need to wait for travelling ticket examiner (TTE) approval.
