Title: Visualizing Sea Level Rise Impacts in Transportation Planning  
More Information: This US DOT-funded research project compares 3D technologies depicting sea level rise in a South Florida location and tests whether 3D technology helps residents better understand the impacts of SLR on transportation infrastructure and communities. Residents used 3D visualization technology and indicated via a survey whether the 3D visualization technologies led to a deeper understanding of the issues and whether they might become more engaged in community planning activities.  View

Title: Visualizing the Quality of Mobility in your City using the Mobility Energy Productivity metric 
More Information: The Mobility Energy Productivity metric is a new paradigm for evaluating mobility options within an urban area. This accessibility measure is appropriately weighted with respect travel time, cost, and energy of modes that provide access to opportunities in any given location. The modular nature allows visualization specific to mode and trip purpose, and can even be used to locate and characterize mobility desserts associated with specific goods or services.   View
