A digital map of the appropriate route of river navigation in the tigris river of baghdad based on the survey data of longitudinal and transverse sections of the river, remote sensing techniques and gis

In this study, a model of an integrated river navigation database was constructed in Baghdad and applied to regulate the path and assess the river's validity based on the data of the bottom-up bathymetric survey by using the Echo Sounder device. This may help to choose the appropriate signature for the stations of reception and departure near the bridges between Karkh and Rusafa and contribute to the reduction of traffic and the creation of alternative river streets and determine the points of the path of navigation and accessibility by building a set of layers built on detailed corrected maps and images of high and modern spatial accuracy of Ikonos And Quick Bird 2 for the year 2015. Then, a spatial analysis of the geographical database designed for application in the transport sector is conducted .The results of the spatial analysis were linked to the application of Itracking GPRS and Tracking GPS devices that connect to navigational vessels and transmit digital signals either via messages on the mobile or via a digital control system to regulate the navigation path. The study indicates the success of the integration of spatial analysis of field surveys of the river bed and space surveys, and the technique of Geographic information systems in the selection of accurate route for navigation and the selection of transport stations and submarine vehicles and the appropriate load for transport according to the validity of the river.
