CALL FOR PAPERS - IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportations Systems
Special Issue on Visual Analysis for ITS

 

Sensing technologies, social media and large-scale computing infrastructures
have produced a variety of traffic and transportation data, e.g., human
mobility, mobile trajectories, mobile phone calls, traffic, and geographical
data. Despite the wealth of research on intelligent transportation systems,
contemporary analytical tools are often inadequate in regards to handling
the large volume, sparseness and heterogeneity of data, let alone in
supporting interactive visual analysis for data-intensive applications.
Consequently, how to connect the data management technologies, analytics
models and the experience of domain experts is the key to developing
effective analysis schemes for transportation data. 

The goal of visual analysis for intelligent transportation systems (ITS) is
to develop methods and tools  that can help analysts understand and utilize
traffic and transportation data in an inter-connected and relation-aware
perspective  Such tools and methods must couple visual representation,
querying and reasoning via interactive displays in order to help manage ITS
demands of the future. By employing visual channels to represent datasets
and transforming various types of data into appropriate visual components,
visualization can enhance a user's understanding and analysis. Then, by
coupling these visual representations with interactive queries, analysts can
investigate and directly access selected data points or features,
discovering interesting patterns or events. By interactively investigating
data, analysts can engage in visual reasoning which allows users to derive
insights, e.g., it is desirable to show only the most relevant portions of a
dataset while suggesting directions for potential exploration.

The special issue on "Visual Analysis for ITS" of IEEE Transactions on
Intelligent Transportation Systems aims to address issues related to the
representation, visual design, visual mapping, interaction, analysis and
applications of multi-variate and time-varying data collected in traffic and
transportation systems. We solicit papers describing frameworks, theories,
approaches, and techniques from visualization, visual data mining and visual
analysis for designing, building and managing intelligent transportation
systems. The topics include, but are not limited to:

1. Visual representations, visual design, visual query, visual interaction,
visual reasoning, visual decision-making for ITS;

2. Visualization theories and visual analysis models for ITS;

3. Descriptive and predictive visual analytics for ITS, and

4. Applications, Surveys, and Evaluation approaches of visual-assisted ITS.
