Abstract: The paper proposes the model of dynamic seat allocation (DSA) by incorporating the RFID technology using an android application that encompasses fair-queuing scheduling mechanism. At present there is no system that facilitates fair queue based seat allocation for waiting list passengers (i.e., both long distance & short distance waiting list passengers) during their journey. RFID technology using an android application with the help of NFC (Near Field Coupling) technology has been evolved as an idea that replaces the manual checking and verification of train tickets done by the TTE’s. The system enables the dynamic allocation of seats which is both system and passenger specific. This eliminates the need for human effort, time and money by increasing the revenue for the Indian Railways Department. The idea has been evolved by modernizing Indian Railways and to eliminate the drawbacks in the present system.
