One of the biggest factors in the quest to better wireless communication is cellular call handoff, which in tum, is a function of geographic location. In this thesis, our fundamental goal was to demonstrate the value addition brought forth by spatial data visualization techniques for the analysis of geo-referenced data from two different location tracking technologies: GPS and cellular systems.

Show moreOne of the biggest factors in the quest to better wireless communication is cellular call handoff, which in tum, is a function of geographic location. In this thesis, our fundamental goal was to demonstrate the value addition brought forth by spatial data visualization techniques for the analysis of geo-referenced data from two different location tracking technologies: GPS and cellular systems. Through our efforts, we unearthed some valuable and surprising insights from the data being analyzed that led to interesting observations about the data itself as opposed to the entity, or entities, that the data is supposed to describe. In doing so, we underscored the value addition brought forth by spatial data visualization techniques even in the incipient stages of analysis of georeferenced data from cellular networks. We also demonstrated the value of visualization techniques as a verification tool to verify the results of analysis done through other methods, such as statistical analysis.
