Design and implementation of data visualizations of the European Commission’s data in the field of transport

Nowadays, an enormous amount of information is at our disposal, from which we are called upon to make decisions that affect us and those around us. It is therefore important to find ways to explore all of this information in order to make the best possible decisions. One of the available tools to assist us in this task is data visualization.
This thesis concerns the design and implementation of data visualizations of the European Commission’s data in the field of transport. The main purpose of this work is to provide a better and easier understanding of the state of the transport sector within the European Union. The recipients of this information range from the general public to the members of the European Commission and other stakeholders responsible for policy and decision making. The data come from the TRIMIS project which is part of the European Commission's Joint Research Centre.
This thesis presents the methodology used for appropriate data visualisations, as well as the ways and tools with which they were implemented. The design and implementation of the data visualisations followed an iterative design approach. The main tools used for implementation were Drupal 8 and D3.js.
The end result of this work was the creation of a central dashboard that summarizes all the important information and enables the user to explore and compare the data with each other, as well as the creation of standalone visualizations that enhance the material and information found on the TRIMIS project website. All visualisations are available on the new TRIMIS project website.
