Greetings!
This issue of vuPoint examines the elements of visualization as it applies to control room design and display technology. Also featured are real-world deployments including how the Port of Long Beach, the second largest Port in the nation, operates its joint command and control center.
Many thanks to this month's contributors including Brian Gorman of the NJ Transportation Management Center, Mike McMullen from the Port of Long Beach, and Matt Krstulja of Mitsubishi.
If you have any comments, ideas, or you are interested in contributing

balancing systems have evolved into Smart systems which essentially take the manual
manipulation element out of the equation.
