1. Introduction
Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS) is the predominant ticketing system on Indian
Railways in terms of the number of passengers it serves. The application was first
Implemented in 2002 and is now operational at nearly 5700 locations over 16 Zones of
Indian Railways. During the commissioning of UTS over 'D' and 'E' category stations, it
was found that number of things adversely affecting its working mainly the network
failure due to cable cutting in remote areas. The Thin Client was the best possible
solution for link failure but its working adds some additional cost in the remote areas
i.e. cost for network equipment & channel hiring and cost for Generator set including
recurring cost of fuel. Despite of that much effort uninterrupted UTS ticketing in remote
areas is still a dream.
All the above factors warrant a cost-effective and reliable alternative ticketing system
which can be used for extending UTS over F-category stations along with Halt stations.
As solutions to all the above requirements are ETMs (Electronic Ticketing Machines).
This document is intended to describe the functional specifications and system
requirement for UTS ticketing through Electronic Ticketing Machine.

2. Overview of UTS over ETM Project

UTS is operational through face to face counter, Ticket Booking Sevak (JTBS) and
Automatic Ticket Vending Machine (ATVM) on major stations of Indian Railways. Due to
higher cost of commissioning UTS through these types of terminal, it cannot be
commissioned over smaller category of stations mainly the F-category stations. ETM is a
handheld device which has the capability to issue unreserved passenger tickets and
synchronizes data with Central server over GPRS connectivity and also provides wired
connectivity to a computer. In case of non transfer of data through GPRS, these
intermediate computers connected with the central server will transfer data to zonal
server.

3. EOI Objective

The objective of this EOI is to find out technical solution along with Hand held
terminal suitable for implementing the UTS ticketing over F-category stations
including halt stations.

The solution providers are free to provide technical solution along with Hand
held terminal giving justification why the proposed HHT devices along with
provided solution is better in meeting above objective.

7. Indicative Architecture of UTS over ETM System

The major components of the ETM system are:

Portable Unreserved Ticketing Machine (HHT/ETM)

Zonal UTS servers
HHT/ETM/TABLET application server
VPN Server

Highlights of Architecture

HHT/Tablet is a smart device which is capable of running the ticketing

application. It will be able to work in disconnected mode. The routes, classes and
other booking master (static) data will be validated in the local database, and
ticket booking information (Dynamic) will also be recorded in the local database
before completing the ticket booking process. The data stored in the local
database of the device should be encrypted. The local database should be
accessible only through ticketing applications.

Whenever there is a change in the Static data of Zonal UTS server should be
synchronized to the HHT/Tablet local database.

The ticketing data of HHT/Tablet will be synchronized to zonal UTS server on a

regular interval through intermediate application server. Option for manual data
synchronization will also be available in ticketing application. In case the device
is not able to connect through GPRS then there will also be option to connect the
HHT/Tablet to the network hub placed at the nearby UTS location.
Every day, HHT/Tablet client will check whether all the data is in sync with
centralized UTS zonal server after 00:00 hrs of that day, which will ensure
proper application releases with cutoff date.

If the previous day's data is not synchronized with the zonal server, then
ticketing is not allowed for the next day. This ensures proper accountal.
