Abstract

Transportation is the backbone of the civilization and the reason for the economic prosperity. There´s serious money in our transportation infrastructure, research, policy, data collection, and, yes, software and other IT systems. The paper presents a highlevel introduction to current visualization research for transportation, discuss research opportunities, and encourage the CG community to get involved. It briefly covers transportation data visualization, wide-area real-time simulation, visualizing and mining archived data, massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs), and even virtual design and construction.
