Abstract
Interactive data visualization leverages human visual perception and cognition to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of data analysis. When integrated with data mining algorithms, data visualization systems combine human strengths with the computational power of machines to solve problems that neither approach can solve in isolation. In the intelligent transportation system domain, such systems are necessary to support decision making in large and complex data streams that originate from multiple sources, such as traffic cameras, vehicles, and traffic management centers. In this chapter, we provide an introduction to several key topics related to the design of data visualization systems. In addition to an overview of key techniques and strategies, we will discuss practical design principles. We conclude with a detailed case study involving the design of a multivariate visualization tool using automobile data.
