United States air traffic monitor visualization

Here's a SAS Visual Analytics report showing animated airplane traffic routes. It's a relatively simple structured report but I wanted to test out geographical animation using actual location changes. I did not have data for things like airplane positions so the sample report shows generated data only. As shown in the animation - one can change the desired carrier by selecting the related bar in the top left corner. Interactivity will update other visualizations given this new selection including the geographical map and network routes.

 The data for the flight routes (network visualization) are provided by openflights.org.

Hello sir,

can you guide how the aeroplane geo graph was created or implemented on viya 

Hi - this sample utilizes two geographical maps:

  1. Geo Coordinate
  2. Geo Network

The #1 object was used for the right hand map animating the path of airplanes. A custom icon was assigned using display rules and animation was enabled by assigning a date data item to the 'animation' role in the roles panel

The #2 object in the bottom left corner is a Geo network graph showing flight paths between major US airports.

You can learn more about all available geographical visualization and required data structure / role assignments in the official VA doc https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/vacdc/8.5/vaobj/n14ezqxeg2a195n1au1q980gbkte.htm.

Hope this helps! Falko
