Abstract

Development of intuitive visualizations requires a systematic approach that includes a focus on the user. Creating interactive visualizations for complex systems often requires the integration of information from existing systems and sensor data to provide the operator with real-time information. The objective of this research was to fuse information from sensor technology with flightline maintenance information to support aircraft maintenance logistics. The research was conducted in two phases. A user-centered approach was used to design visualizations in each phase; however, in Phase II a cluster analysis technique was utilized to support the design. User feedback indicated that incorporating a technique to map data and decisions resulted in interactive visualizations that were well accepted by users and provided the important information needed for their decision making tasks.
