The project is done for an event named 'Softablitz' under the technical festival 'Avishkar 2020' of Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad. The project MUSAFIR is an app that provides a medium for both railway authority and passengers. Through this app, the Railway Authority can easily manage all the trains and various other facilities. They can keep an eye on multiple activities such as running trains on a particular day, canceling trains, removing them, rerouting them, etc. It also eases passengers' lives for booking tickets, sees trains according to their requirements, manages their booking history, checks PNR status, etc.
The project is wholly based on JAVA with an MYSQL database. The concepts of JAVA used are:
- Basics Of JAVA
- Object-Oriented Programming Concepts
- Socket Programming in JAVA
- JAVA GUI (e.g., Swing, AWT, etc.)
- Maintain customer information.

To use the application, one will first have to set up the 'Musafir Database'. After setting up the database correctly, he would have to create a new column inside the admin_info table in the database if he wants to be an admin. After that, he would have to run the 'server.java' file inside the 'MusafirServer' folder. After running it, he would have to run the 'LoginAdmin.java' file inside the 'Musafir' folder if he wants to access as the Railway admin or will have to run the 'Login.java' file if he wants to access as a passenger. If the passenger is new to the application, he would have to signup first, and then he would be able to access other features. That's it; now, we are ready to use the Musafir Application to its utmost.
The roadmap guides the passengers and admins on how to use various features of the Musafir Application.
If a Passenger is new to the app, he will first have to signup and submit various information asked in the Signup Form. Else he will have to log in to his account. After logging in, the home page will open. The home page consists of various buttons labelled accordingly. The Passenger can click any of them to perform respective task.
An admin will have to log in first by running the 'LoginAdmin.java' file inside the 'Musafir' folder. After logging in, he will be redirected to Admin Home Page, where he can perform the various tasks accordingly.
