?
1. The situation map is an important tool for emergency staff to gain situational awareness. It must distinguish between certain and uncertain information to properly plan emergency responses. Current methods of displaying uncertainty take up too much cognitive resources.
2. The researchers analyzed existing uncertainty visualization techniques and proposed two new methods: thin lines and dotted lines to depict uncertain information more efficiently.
3. An experiment found that the dotted line technique allowed emergency staff to classify certain and uncertain information faster than existing methods, reducing the cognitive load. The new techniques provide more effective displays of situational uncertainty.
