This hardware is deployed across the globe to record and accumulate an abundance of real-time environmental data by several agencies. In order to summarize vital information and data to avoid overwhelming the end user, these agencies create a dashboard with visually-enhanced features to convey the knowledge.From a developer perspective, presenting the data effectively and concisely is the first crucial step in implementing effective monitoring systems. A graphical user interface should be designed to be self-descriptive and intuitive to the point that you need no insight about the underlying functionality. Patterns, trends, and alerts might go undetected in textual format, but huge amount of information can be accessible and understandable with visualization. Although, there are abundant tools and techniques to boost visualization, choosing the right fit can be challenging.This thesis work is focused on developing a dashboard application for weather monitoring at the Port Mann Bridge, Canada where ice and snow pose serious hazards to motorists and cause frequent traffic disruptions. The dashboard is designed, to help the bridge maintenance and operation personnel, in a way to provide all necessary information in one place and in the least amount of time which will be invaluable. In addition, based on the previous studies and consultation with weather experts, an algorithm is developed which can notify the qualified personnel and experts in cases where critical conditions are probable. The dashboard is developed using JavaScript with NodeJS/Express framework on the back-end and Twitter Bootstrap framework on front-end with state-of-the-art visualization techniques powered by HighCharts, a JavaScript library. Graphical User Interface is designed using conservative methodologies and using interface metaphors to offer a good way of interaction with the user. The system developed for this thesis can be extended for other structures and bridges as well. 2019-10-24 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1562842819492322 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1562842819492322 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
