Abstract

There exist different reasons for infrastructure providers to think about upcoming changes and necessary adaptations. This paper covers the experiences made during a three-year research project (called SinOptiKom) during the development of a geographic information system supported tool for analyzing time-dependent infrastructure optimization results. Beside the data preparation and requirements for the successful implementation of such a tool, the resulting design decisions are presented. Examples for the use and combination of common techniques (such as semantic zooming or highlighting) as well as important usability aspects are explained and will greatly support future research in the domain of infrastructure optimization.
