JView Visualization for Next Generation Air Transportation System

Abstract

This Final Technical Report discusses the accomplishments of an effort to support NASA and FAA goals for visualization of the National Airspace System (NAS) to aid in the analysis of proposed changes in order to increase its capacity to meet future needs. Using JView technology, CACI enhanced an application called the Airspace Concepts Evaluation System (ACES) Viewer they developed for NASA under a previous project. The ACES Viewer is an information visualization tool designed to provide visual representations of the output of the ACES NAS simulation developed at NASA. The application provides mechanisms to load the various types of data used and output by the ACES simulation, process the data, and then display it. The ACES Viewer is not limited to visualization of ACES data, as any data (in one of the supported formats) can be loaded and displayed. The application has been enhanced during this effort to serve more as an aeronautical research tool rather than simply a presentation tool. It has also been enhanced to serve as a platform for several other domain specific visualization tools.
