LIGHT RAIL LINE DESIGN FOR EAST BLACK SEA REGION: A CASE STUDY OF TRABZON
LIGHT RAIL LINE DESIGN FOR EAST BLACK SEA REGION: A CASE STUDY OF TRABZON
Transportation is an important problem in metropolitan cities population of which increases rapidly. Nowadays, local governments often recommend using public transport to solve transportation problems.In this study, the light rail network was designed for the province of Trabzon by using orthophoto and Landsat satellite images. While this railway network is being constructed, many criteria such as regional population density, slope, minimum service interval, integration with other transportation networks, geological structure, and proximity to public institutions and organizations have been used together. These criteria are shown with a GIS-based design model. Analysis maps were created by using the conditions/criteria and synthesis maps used in the design model. It is foreseen that the light rail system will provide the most suitable, modern, fast, comfortable and safe transportation in the long term considering the number of passengers and many criteria. This light rail system designed for the province of Trabzon is thought to be a pioneering work for the Black Sea region through the interpretation of the resulting map and route networks.
