Rail transportation planning is a continuous, multi-phase, functioning scale that is based on reconstructing the spatial system, thus contributing to build a more quality-focused, long-term-oriented and balanced approach. This paper presents cartographic modelling and multi-criteria analysis (CMCA) for the optimum route/station location in accordance with selected criteria and constraints for rail transit system planning. The methodology is based on overlay analysis (cartographic modelling) to combine diverse criteria maps and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method for criteria weighting. The purpose of the study is to examine a GIS multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework by considering Stream, Geology, Slope, Land use and Population decision criteria. The decision modelling framework conceives an additional prominent approach by co-producing with the public, especially for underserved areas of low socio-economic status and public user expectations in the railway transport planning process. This model applied to a candidate metro line referred to as M 18 (Başakşehir-Esenyurt-Beylikdüzü) with eight railway stations for the preliminary stage evaluation. The outcomes of this research will close the gap by establishing a novel suitability framework which can be used as a preliminary analysis for transforming and developing urban rail transit networks.

轨道交通规划是一个连续的、多阶段的、基于空间系统重构的功能尺度，从而有助于建立一个更加注重质量、着眼长远和平衡的方法。本文根据轨道交通系统规划的选定标准和约束，介绍了最佳路线/车站位置的制图建模和多标准分析 (CMCA)。该方法基于叠加分析（制图建模）以结合不同的标准地图和用于标准加权的层次分析法（AHP）方法。该研究的目的是通过考虑河流、地质、坡度、土地利用和人口决策标准来检查 GIS 多标准决策 (MCDM) 框架。决策建模框架通过与公众共同制作构想了一个额外的突出方法，特别是对于铁路运输规划过程中社会经济地位低和公众用户期望低的服务欠缺地区。该模型适用于称为 M 18 (Başakşehir-Esenyurt-Beylikdüzü) 的候选地铁线路，该线路具有八个火车站，用于初步阶段评估。这项研究的成果将通过建立一个新的适用性框架来缩小差距，该框架可以用作改造和发展城市轨道交通网络的初步分析。该模型适用于称为 M 18 (Başakşehir-Esenyurt-Beylikdüzü) 的候选地铁线路，该线路具有八个火车站，用于初步阶段评估。这项研究的成果将通过建立一个新的适用性框架来缩小差距，该框架可以用作改造和发展城市轨道交通网络的初步分析。该模型适用于称为 M 18 (Başakşehir-Esenyurt-Beylikdüzü) 的候选地铁线路，该线路具有八个火车站，用于初步阶段评估。这项研究的成果将通过建立一个新的适用性框架来缩小差距，该框架可以用作改造和发展城市轨道交通网络的初步分析。
