CATT Lab Director Writes Feature Article for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)

The Center for Advanced Transportation Technology Laboratory (CATT Lab) director, Michael L. Pack wrote “Visualization in Transportation: Challenges and Opportunities for Everyone” which was featured in July/August issue of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Computer Graphics and Applications newsletter.

Pack’s article discusses the preconceived notions about transportation engineering and research, the broader aspect of the field and where the field is headed. Pack notes that five promising areas of transportation research include: real-time visualization; wide-area, real-time visualization; visualizing and mining archived data; massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs) for transportation; and virtual design and construction.

This article was also published in the August issue of IEEE’s Computing Now newsletter. To read the article visit: Computing Now (links to article).
