About Our Software
Our software revolutionizes Sri Lanka’s railway ticketing system by introducing a smart card-based ticketing solution that ensures seamless and efficient travel. This role-based system provides two dashboards:
- Customer Dashboard – Allows passengers to look their travel and check balances.
- Station Dashboard – Enables station administrators to monitor train entries, transactions, and passenger movements.
How It Works
- Smart Ticketing System: Passengers use a smart card to enter the train by tapping at the entry gate. The system verifies the card, checks the balance, and grants access if the amount is sufficient.
- Real-Time Travel Monitoring: At the exit station, passengers tap the card again. The system calculates the fare, deducts the amount from the balance, and records the transaction.
- Transaction & Data Management: The deducted fare is stored in the backend, and passengers can view their transaction history.
