A Case Study on Visualizing Large Spatial Datasets in a Web-Based Map Viewer

摘要

Lately, many companies are using Mobile Workforce Management technologies combined with information collected by sensors from mobile devices in order to improve their business processes. Even for small companies, the information that needs to be handled grows at a high rate, and most of the data collected have a geographic dimension. Being able to visualize this data in real-time within a map viewer is a very important deal for these companies. In this paper we focus on this topic, presenting a case study on visualizing large spatial datasets. Particularly, since most of the Mobile Workforce Management software is web-based, we propose a solution suitable for this environment.
