Abstract

The idea of cartographic and spatial modeling of train movement comes as a result of frequent accidents and irregular train movement on the one hand, and the difficulty of citizens dealing with scheduled data related to train times. Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Global Coordinate System (GPS), Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), and Database Management Systems (DBMS), in order to build and manage a new kind of database, which are databases of moving objects, which through processing, cartographic representation, and management allow Interactively animated object paths and streamlines.
The study showed that it is possible to manage the operating system of railway trains by building a spatial and electronic database for its network of lines, stations and slides. to overcome its problems as soon as possible; Due to the ease of dealing with data in its digital form and quickly extracting results in the form of interactive maps, this system can be used to manage the railway network, address its crises and reduce risks, in addition to creating an interactive electronic atlas that contains a large number of maps instead of tabular data, which facilitates Retrieving data electronically and allowing continuous change in it by the competent authorities, and inquiring about this data by travelers.
