Real-Time Visualization of Moving Objects

Abstract

The development of visualization tools that help us assimilate the information that surrounds us is essential in business environments and most research fields. Data visualization is a powerful tool that lets us recognize patterns and trends easily, allows us to extract sensible information faster, stimulates hypothesis generation, and helps us make effective decisions. This paper describes the design and implementation of a web application that displays moving objects in real-time using Google Maps. This web application was done as part of an integrated system that addresses issues related to the automated driver assistance field. Moreover, this work seeks to be a reference framework that will provide visual support for researchers in the area of mobility looking to analyze moving object trajectories, evaluate prediction models, or explain their results.
