Many important planning decisions in society and business depend on
proper knowledge and a correct understanding of movement, be it in
transportation, logistics, biology, or the life sciences. Today the
widespread use of mobile phones and technologies like GPS and RFID
provides an immense amount of data on location and movement. What
is needed are new methods of visualization and algorithmic data
analysis that are tightly integrated and complement each other to
allow end-users and analysts to extract useful knowledge from these
extremely large data volumes. This is exactly the topic of this
book. As the authors show, modern visual analytics techniques are
ready to tackle the enormous challenges brought about by movement
data, and the technology and software needed to exploit them are
available today. The authors start by illustrating the different
kinds of data available to describe movement, from individual
trajectories of single objects to multiple trajectories of many
objects, and then proceed to detail a conceptual framework, which
provides the basis for a fundamental understanding of movement
data. With this basis, they move on to more practical and technical
aspects, focusing on how to transform movement data to make it more
useful, and on the infrastructure necessary for performing visual
analytics in practice. In so doing they demonstrate that visual
analytics of movement data can yield exciting insights into the
behavior of moving persons and objects, but can also lead to an
understanding of the events that transpire when things move.
Throughout the book, they use sample applications from various
domains and illustrate the examples with graphical depictions of
both the interactive displays and the analysis results. In summary,
readers will benefit from this detailed description of the state of
the art in visual analytics in various ways. Researchers will
appreciate the scientific precision involved, software
technologists will find essential information on algorithms and
systems, and practitioners will profit from readily accessible
examples with detailed illustrations for practical purposes.
