Energy Balance: A web-based Visualization of Energy for Automotive Engineering using X3DOM
2013
Automotive systems can be very complex when using multiple
formsof
energy. To achieve better energy efficiency, engineers require specialized tools to cope with that complexity and to comprehend how energy is spread and consumed. This is especially essential to develop hybrid systems, which generate electricity by various available
formsof
energy. Therefore, highly specialized visualizations of multiple measured energies are needed. This paper examines several three-dimensional
glyph-based visualization techniques for spatial multivariate data. Besides animated
glyphs, two-dimensional visualization techniques for temporal data to allow detailed
trend analysisare considered as well. Investigations revealed that Scaled
Data-DrivenSpheres are best suited for a detailed 3D exploration of measured data. To gain a better overview of the spatial data, Cumulative
Glyphsare introduced. For
trend analysis, Theme River and Stacked Area Graphs are used. All these visualization techniques are implemented as a web-based prototype without the need of additional web browser plugins using X3DOM and
Data-DrivenDocuments.
