include the list defining the sequence of locations visited, the geographical map displaying the sequence of locations visited (linked with or without arrows), the table with the container movement details summarized by location and the full detailed table of container movement data. The geographical map not only allows for the typical zoom/move map operations but also uses dedicated symbols to visualize critical aspects of the summarized information, i.e. if the container is full or empty. Furthermore, the user can drill-down and see details of the events recorded by selecting a particular location.
Integrating container movement information into a Web GIS interactive system allows the risk analysis decision-makers to quickly identify useful intelligence. Therefore, there is the opportunity for better informed and faster decision-making. The prototype presented in this study can easily be expanded and integrated into other systems because of its structure and flexibility. It can easily be transformed and used in applications with different purpose; for example a GIS visualization system for moving objects.
