Abstract
This paper proposes a dynamic analytical processing (DAP) visualization tool based on the Bubble-Wall Plot. It can be handily used to develop visual warning systems for visualizing the dynamic analytical processes of hazard data. Comparative analysis and case study methods are used in this research. Based on a literature review of Q1 publications since 2017, 23 types of data visualization approaches/tools are identified, including seven anomaly data visualization tools. This study presents three significant findings by comparing existing data visualization approaches. The primary finding is that no single visualization tool can fully satisfy industry requirements. This finding motivates academics to develop new DAP visualization tools. The second finding is that there are different views of Line Charts and various perspectives on Scatter Plots. The other one is that different researchers may perceive an existing data visualization tool differently, such as arguments between Scatter Plots and Line Charts and diverse opinions about Parallel Coordinate Plots and Scatter Plots. Users' awareness rises when they choose data visualization tools that satisfy their requirements. By conducting a comparative analysis based on five categories (Style, Value, Change, Correlation, and Others) with 26 subcategories of metric features, results show that this new tool can effectively solve the limitations of existing visualization tools as it appears to have three remarkable characteristics: the simplest cartographic tool, the most straightforward visual result, and the most intuitive tool. Furthermore, this paper illustrates how the Bubble-Wall Plot can be effectively applied to develop a warning system for presenting dynamic analytical processes of hazard data in the coal mine. Lastly, this paper provides two recommendations, one implication, six research limitations, and eleven further study topics.
