MOTIVATION AND OBJECTIVES

GAStech is a Tethys-based company that operates in the natural gas production site in the island country of Kronos for at least the past 20 years. In light of their success, GAStech held a celebration for their newfound wealth in January 2014. During which, found that several of their employees had just disappeared.

This project ultimately aims to shed some light onto the people and the locations that the law enforcement should investigate by analysing the movement and tracking data provided, thereby contributing to the investigation towards finding the missing staff members.

Through implementation of the appropriate visual analytics systems, GAStech would be empowered with the following competencies:

1. Visualization of all the recorded movements of GAStech employees across the Kronos Island over the 2 weeks
2. Identify unusual patterns of behaviors of the GAStech employees. Out of which, prioritize the patterns that might be related to the missing staff members.
