Abstract
This thesis describes the development of a web application that has been created in cooperation
with the ÖGEG, Austrian Society for Railway History. The aim of the project is to simplify
the process of booking tickets for a ride on the ship and to make it easier for the conductor
to validate the tickets. To fix the problem of endless paperwork and unpredictable human
errors, users can now purchase their tickets through a web-shop and are then granted a unique
QR-Code. The conductor is then able to validate the ticket’s data through our self-developed
mobile-app
The implementation includes a web interface that is hosted by ÖGEG. The core development
technologies that were used are React and CSS. Users first have to choose a desired line from
those available on the website. Then, they have to select the number of passengers per ticket.
Finally, they enter personal information, such as name, email address and phone number.
The web-shop then sends a message to the provided e-mail address. The e-mail contains a
QR-Code that can be scanned by the ship’s conductor using our app. Once scanned, a valid
ticket with the correct information is presented, allowing access to the ship.
