29 CONCLUSIONS This study summarizes the use and value of data visualization for geotechnical hazard mitigation and disaster response in the transportation profession. The objectives of the study were to quantify the nature and number of geotechnical hazards and disasters facing transportation personnel, determine what types of geotechnical data and visualization tools are available to them, and evaluate the effectiveness of the geotechnical data visualization (GDV)

30 Geotechnical Hazard Identification and Prioritization Natural phenomena and geotechnical hazards are generally well understood by the geotechnical leaders in transportation; but additional research is needed to identify and prioritize all significant geotechnical hazards in transportation systems -- a particular challenge because many of the hazards are hidden from view and may not be recognized until disaster strikes. Research into geotechnical hazard identification should be focused on improving methods of subsurface investigation and additional application of remote sensing technologies.
