1. Basic objectives of the system:
To provide real-time information about train timings and delays
To track train departures and arrivals at various stations
To predict arrival times at upcoming stations
To relay delay information to subsequent stations
To deliver real-time train schedule events to multiple client applications
To allow station masters to update train arrival times at their respective stations
2. Input, processor, outputs, and feedback of the system:
Input:
Train details and schedules entered by the Admin
Real-time updates on train departures from stations
Delay information entered by station masters
Login credentials for station masters
Processor:
Central server that receives and processes the input data
Algorithms to calculate expected arrival times and delays
Sorting mechanism to distribute relevant information to specific stations
Output:
Real-time train schedule information displayed at stations
Predicted arrival times at upcoming stations
Delay notifications
Updated schedules for subscribing client applications
Feedback:
Station masters updating actual arrival times at their stations
System recalculating arrival predictions based on real-time data
Continuous updates to the central database based on actual train movements

4. Advantages and disadvantages:
Advantages:
Provides real-time information to passengers, improving their travel experience
Helps railway staff manage train schedules more efficiently
Enables better decision-making for both passengers and railway management
Improves overall punctuality and reliability of train services
Allows for quick dissemination of delay information, reducing passenger frustration
Centralizes data management, ensuring consistency across all stations
Disadvantages:
Relies heavily on accurate and timely input from station masters and admins
Requires a robust and reliable internet connection at all stations
May be vulnerable to system failures or cyber attacks, potentially causing widespread
disruption
Initial setup and training costs could be significant
Maintenance of the system across multiple stations may be challenging
Potential for information overload if not presented clearly to passengers
