> selected data ANALYTICS

As a Learning Experience Designer (LXD) at FourthRev I worked on multiple data analytics courses.

For one course I created an operational dashboard, using Tableau Public to build and deliver the dashboard.

The brief

  • Assist a customer service team to book customer flights with the lowest chance of delays
  • The team needs to compare all flight options for a selected destination, inclluding surrounding areas
  • Develop a proof of concept dashboard using data for flights departing from Atlanta airport in 2015


Tips

  • You can view the dashboard in full screen using the icon at the bottom RHS under the bar charts:
  • if the dashboard embedded here does not display correctly on your device, go to Tableau Public

 

Dashboard features:

  • designed for desktop computers
  • allows users to compare the options for flights to each airport at the destination, along with the average arrival delays

 

detail of Tableau dashboard

  • horizontal bar charts are easy to understand: the longer the bar, the larger the delay
  • width of the arrival delay axis is fixed so that the scale doesn't resize depending on the filters
  • colour is not used to visualise numbers, but rather to visually group data from the same airport
  • map can be used to include areas surrounding the destination
  • menu-based alternative enables filtering by one or more cities and is accessible for vision-impaired users
  • all non-text content has a textual equivalent
  • the colour palette used is Tableau’s Colorblind palette
