Abstract

ABSTRACT Nowadays large amounts of movement data is available. This makes it important not only to be aware of how to collect and store this data, but also how to visually represent the information to get insights and “read” the story behind data. When visualising origin-destination data, the traditional flow map is the solution most often selected. A single flow map, however, does not necessarily show all the available attribute variables and also tends too clutter quickly.A more appropriate solution is a dashboard. It provides users with summaries of the represented information. Despite the dashboard suitability to support getting insights, current dashboards have some limitations regarding the flexibility of the layout. To overcome these limitations, we introduce adaptability in dashboards. In our case adaptability ensures that users get insights into the component of interest (space, time, or attribute) on 3 levels of detail. Adaptability is initiated by user tasks to resulting in changes in the visualizations of represented information and dashboard interfaces. We illustrate the concept of an adaptable dashboard with two case studies.

仪表板适应性原则，以深入了解始发目的地数据

摘要:目前有大量的运动数据可供使用。因此，不仅要了解如何收集和存储这些数据，还要了解如何直观地表示这些信息以获得洞察力并“阅读”数据背后的故事。在可视化始发目的地数据时，传统的流程图是最常被选择的解决方案。然而，单个流映射并不一定显示所有可用的属性变量，而且也会很快变得过于混乱。更合适的解决方案是仪表板。它为用户提供所表示信息的摘要。尽管仪表板适合于支持获取见解，但当前的仪表板在布局的灵活性方面存在一些限制。为了克服这些限制，我们在仪表板中引入了适应性。在我们的例子中，适应性可以确保用户在3个细节层次上了解感兴趣的组件(空间、时间或属性)。适应性是由用户任务发起的，从而导致表示的信息和仪表板界面的可视化变化。我们通过两个案例研究来说明可适应仪表板的概念。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
