Abstract: Road-based freight movements are a critical component of the supply chain and transportation networks. With the drive to invest in big data collection capabilities, most of the collected freight movement data remain underutilized. To improve the efficiency and resiliency of the supply chain, it is essential to enhance the visibility of goods movements on road networks. To this end, we provide in this paper a comprehensive literature review on this topic and analyze the previous research from different perspectives, such as data levels of abstraction and existing visualization techniques. In addition, we provide a taxonomy of freight transportation visualization according to the underlying analytic objective. Furthermore, we propose a decision support tool to aid freight data analysts in selecting the right visualization tools. Finally, we identify research gaps in the field of freight transportation visualization.Highlights Systematic bibliometric analysis of state of art research related to location-based telematics data visualizationApplications for location-based telematics data based on different levels of abstractionA taxonomy for visualization techniques for location-based telematics data and possible application in freight transportationA proposed decision support tool for selecting possible visualization techniques based on the abstraction and availability of dataDiscussion of challenges and future research direction for freight transportation data visualization
