Abstract

On décrit un système et un procédé permettant d'organiser graphiquement des informations relatives à des réseaux de transport de marchandises sur une carte distribuée sur Internet. Un sélecteur de voie de communication sélectionne un plan géographique de plusieurs voies de communications pour les afficher sur une carte. Un sélecteur de chargement affiche une partie sélectionnée par l'utilisateur de toutes les cargaisons transportées sur n'importe laquelle des voies de communication. Un sélecteur de caractéristiques géographiques sélectionne diverses caractéristiques géographiques pour les afficher sur la carte ou pour les éliminer de la carte. Dans le procédé de cette invention, un panneau de carte présente une pluralité de voies de communication et de caractéristiques géographiques en réponse aux sélections faites par l'utilisateur.
