In reviewed applications, visualization has been used primarily for communicating information on the geometric design, or as photorealistic representations that place transportation projects within their existing or envisioned built or natural context. A review of examples of transportation visualization also indicates that visualization methods are mostly application specific. We focus on the use of visualization during the construction process of highway projects to facilitate collaborative decision-making on construction scheduling and traffic planning. For the visualization of construction scheduling and traffic planning a 4D technology that makes use of a comprehensive 3D project database is proposed. The same 3D database can be also used for the development of photo-realistic animations that can facilitate the dissemination of traffic measures information to the traveling public during construction. This approach has been used during the construction of a section of a large-scale highway interchange project in Dallas, Texas.","PeriodicalId":259374,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings on Seventh International Conference on Information Visualization, 2003.

When we build data collections, we want them to reflect the objective relations inherent in nature, but also classify these collections, adding subjective relations between data objects. Sometimes these two approaches conflict. We present two examples of blending objective and subjective relations in a single data collection, and discuss some possible generalizations. First example deals with the visualization of metabolic networks in three dimensions. We show that the network topology has a substantial subjective component in this case and discuss possible ways to minimize human inference. In the second example we present a collection of metabolic networks as a (subjective) hierarchical structure with (objective) binary relations between objects, and show how the data visualization may be made more logical via the procedure of \"hierarchization of relations\".","PeriodicalId":259374,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings on Seventh International Conference on Information Visualization, 2003.

The matrix-based structure of the system allows for adding new information at any time. For demonstrational purposes, the system model is applied to a specific domain of classical Ottoman architectural heritage and the site is called as the Mimar Sinan project site (MSPS). MSPS is designed to serve scholars, researchers, architects, designers, and historians for specific, comparative and/or complex research criteria.","PeriodicalId":259374,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings on Seventh International Conference on Information Visualization, 2003.

We have applied a task-analytical approach to tool selection and design, that is, we have first considered what analytical tasks may potentially emerge in the course of investigating and comparing scenarios. We have revealed a set of multifarious tasks, which can be grouped into four categories: 1) analysis in the attribute dimension; 2) analysis in the spatial dimension; 3) analysis in the temporal dimension; 4) spatio-temporal analysis. Then we have evaluated the techniques typically used for visualization of spatial and temporal data, such as (animated) maps or time graphs, from the perspective of supporting different task types. We have extended these techniques, mostly in the direction of increasing interactivity, and combined them for providing a better coverage of the task space. Using examples from the domains of forest management and agriculture, we illustrate how the resulting software tools help in fulfilling various tasks in the course of exploring and comparing scenarios. At the end, we set an explicit correspondence between the task types and the appropriate tools.","PeriodicalId":259374,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings on Seventh International Conference on Information Visualization, 2003.

Then the notion of spreading out points on axes with a few discrete values is introduced, which leads onto a simple focus+context technique when the user selects values on such axes.","PeriodicalId":259374,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings on Seventh International Conference on Information Visualization, 2003.
