Abstract

The low-cost train control system is new trend for modern train operation and management. Based on the functional requirement of track map database, generation of track map in GIS and schematic form are mainly studied in this paper, as well as their mapping description. In the low-cost scheme, the flow of the generation is discussed in detailed and several strategies are employed to realize the mapping of GIS and schematic track. With the generating software developed in this work, the generated track map database is validated in the simulation environment and the correction and effectiveness are guaranteed.
