Data Visualization Techniques: Synthesis of a Workshop

This chapter describes how the workshop participants were introduced to innovative visualization techniques that are used in transportation planning. The participants also explored the potential uses of visualization for improving travel survey data. It is argued that by improving and expanding visualization methods, transport researchers and practitioners will improve the quality of their data and more effectively convey the richness and insights of that data to policy makers and stakeholders and this would thereby support higher levels of communication, awareness, understanding and decision-making.
