Visualization for Insight into the Overall NAS (Vision)
Abstract
The VisION project presents 12 new visualization concepts for generating insight and understanding from National Airspace System simulation data, along with three preliminary and initial evaluations for those. Researchers developing new approaches to increase NAS capacity need improved visualization techniques to better understand the simulated results of their concepts. We instead develop novel visualization approaches that do not rely primarily upon plotting data at their true geographic coordinates. The goal is to generate insight and allow observers to find important characteristics that they did not even know to look for initially. The report documents our approach and strategies, ideas considered but abandoned, and the 12 concepts that reveal different aspects of NAS simulation data. A separate software description report documents the three implemented concepts. A separate evaluation report documents the observations and lessons learned. We documented cases where the visualization modes enable us to see patterns, trends, correlations, features, and relationships that we were previously not aware of.
