Visualization in Transportation 101

Visualization has become a catch-all for many visually enhanced applications that have found their way into the transportation industry--such as modeling, animation, simulation, and virtual reality--to improve the ability to fund, develop, and deliver timely, cost-effective, and safe transportation systems in synch with society's needs. This brief introduction to this issue of TR News, after defining visualization, discusses the intent of this issue, which is to introduce the transportation research community to an assembly of knowledge, perspectives, and references to visualization-related activities that are having an impact on transportation.
