1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions, which when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method of visual data mining, the method comprising:
determining with a computing device, trip data comprising a first trip data set and a second trip data set, the first trip data set corresponding to one or more first vehicle trips and the second trip data set corresponding to one or more second vehicle trips, the first trip data set comprising first location data and first trip parameter data corresponding to at least one trajectory of the one or more first vehicle trips and the second trip data set comprising second location data and second trip parameter data corresponding to at least one trajectory of the one or more second vehicle trips, wherein the first location data comprises a plurality of first location data and the first trip parameter data comprises a plurality of first trip parameter data associated with the plurality of first location data, and wherein the second location data comprises a plurality of second location data and the second trip parameter data comprises a plurality of second trip parameter data associated with the plurality of second location data;
determining with the computing device, whether the one or more first vehicle trips are more or less efficient than the one or more second vehicle trips based at least in part on a comparison of the first trip data set to the second trip data set, wherein the comparison of the first trip data set to the second trip data set comprises comparing one or more first parameter values corresponding to the first trip parameter data to one or more second parameter values corresponding to the second trip parameter data;
mapping the one or more first parameter values and the one or more second parameter values to a visual spectrum based at least in part on a mapping formula, the mapping formula correlating one or more colors and/or patterns to the one or more first parameter values and the one or more second parameter values; and
transmitting with the computing device, trip trajectory data configured to cause a display device to display a map of a geographic area corresponding to at least a portion of the trip data, wherein the map of the geographic area comprises at least one of: the first location data mapped to the geographic area with the one or more first parameter values displayed at one or more first geographic locations corresponding to the first location data, and the second location data mapped to the geographic area with the one or more second parameter values displayed at one or more second geographic locations corresponding to the second location data.
