Abstract
This paper describes ongoing work and research perspectives for integrating cartographic presentations into decision-support systems for crisis management and resource planning in emergency situations. The spatial visualizations shall improve the communication and analysis of the situation at different decision levels. The information has to be adequately prepared and presented according to the user’s role, position and utilized device. The outstanding characteristics of the presented solution are (1) a context-dependent selection and visualization of data through location-based services and (2) a visualization of the situation at different perspectives. This reduces the amount of presented data and improves the understanding of the user’s current environment. The paper describes an application prototype designed for the European project SHARE and outlines perspectives by introducing time as another information dimension.
