Indian railway is the third-largest human transport system in India with over 30 million passengers travelling every day all over the country. One of the most prevalent problems in Indian Railway stations is that the platforms are overcrowded. A system to tackle this issue has been recommended. The system that is proposed is to issue a smart seat allotment to passengers. Every ticket will have its own QR code which will have to be scanned to enter into the platform. The scanning of the ticket will automatically confirm the presence of the passengers and these seats will be locked till the passengers’ destination. Passengers should scan the QR code on their ticket against the scanner and go through a turnstile in order to gain access to the platform. The turnstile will also keep track of how many passengers pass through, in cases where the ticket that has been generated is booked for more than one passenger. The turnstile will also screen and record the temperature of the passenger. The temperature of the passenger at the time of boarding will be recorded. Should the passenger have a temperature beyond 100.4 F, their ticket would be cancelled automatically, for the safety of the rest of the passengers, especially during the pandemic. Scanning of the ticket will confirm the presence of the passenger/passengers on the platform and thereby, locks their seat/seats. Passengers have a small window of 45 minutes to board the train at the next station in case they have missed their boarding station. On missing their window, the reservation would be cancelled and will be allotted to passengers travelling in RAC. The seat will be allotted to the RAC passenger, prioritizing their age and gender
