The research agenda is provided as a part of the present synthesis not as a set of recommendations, but more so as a means of more clearly characterizing what might be/become the major research components in the area of transportation visualization. TOWARD THE DEVELOPMENT OF A RESEARCH AGENDA FOR THE APPLICATION OF VISUALIZATION IN TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM APPLICATIONS TRB PAPER NUMBER 05-0230 This agenda has since been modified and the following represents the latest in the efforts of the task force.

Important elements to focus on should be: • Distinguishing user needs from design requirements, • Aligning user needs and values with project requirements, • Identifying visualization methods that facilitate developer and user focus on values, • Soliciting user input and comment in a collaborative and measurable environment, • Quantitative methods for tracking the development of consensus, and • Visualization applications to constructability and construction phasing.

Rationale: The Internet is rapidly becoming a chief media source from which individuals seek to acquire information about their world surpassing in many instances radio and television and the printed media. Government agencies that use the Internet to communicate with stakeholders need to clearly understand the technology and its effective use.

Visualization may serve not only to see what a final product may look like, but to facilitate improved understanding of the design and engineering principles or processes that make such a product possible. Important elements to focus on should be: • Using visualization to think/plan "outside-the-box." • Exploring innovative, sometimes unconventional concepts and system approaches.

With 3-D geometry captured as part of the design process, and operational performance assessed as part of new visual-centric traffic modeling technologies, immersive and desktop driving simulators would provide project teams with the most comprehensive understanding of the human's perspective of their projects without actually building them. Important elements to focus on should be: • Understanding the practical applications of these simulator technologies in both agency and consultant-based environments by synthesizing and assessing "lessons-learned" in the defense and aerospace industries.

Research in this area must address both the technical aspects of the visualization tools employed as well as the communication issues associated with collaborative planning and design. Important elements to focus on should be: • Understanding issues associated with the use of visualization at the community or system level versus the level of the isolated facility.
