Architecture of automated reservation system using automated teller machine

Abstract

This paper aims at implementing an automated reservation system, more convenient for an end user using Automated Teller Machine. This paper would deal with automated travel ticket reservation system in three steps which are establishing a secure connection with a remote server, money transfer and successful reservation of the travel ticket. Main aim of this paper rests in providing an immediate availability of an option to the end user for purchasing a travel ticket at any instance of time period with ease. The main attempt of this system is to increase the convenience of the end user by providing to reserve travel ticket anywhere, anytime - implementing Any Time Reservation (ATR) System. This would not only reduce the time constraint of the end user, but also efficiently manage the underutilization of the ATM Terminals. Providing an efficient utilization of the under-utilized Automated Teller Machine also is the aim of the ATR system. A RESTful web service is implemented as a prototype in to demonstrate automated reservation system. Active establishment of session between ATM Terminal and remote server is guided through National Financial Switch (NFS).
