Although system administrators should monitor the health of each machine, they need to do so within the context of the whole computer network. Our visualization presents the health of a fictitious financial institution's computer network at a snapshot in time and over a time range, and preserves the important aspects of each facility's administrative and geographic context.

Instead, following recent contributions from information visualization [13] and data mining [5][7], this design study uses visual analytics techniques to identify, describe and explain cycling behaviours within a large and attribute rich transactional dataset.

Social networks were identified through direct calls between participants and calls to mutual contacts of participants. Direct contact between participants was sparse and deriving networks through mutual contacts helped enrich the social networks.

Studies concerned with actual rather than self-reported behaviour have generally been fewer in number and usually based on data from Global Positioning System (GPS) logs (Dill & Gliebe 2008) or automated traffic counts at fixed sites (Gordon 2012).

This novel visualization technique, presented at InfoVis 2008, has resulted in a number of insights and discoveries. Transport planners in our organization indicate that the graphics are effective and have advantages over alternatives.
