This is known as a parallel coordinate map which is a map in which several different sets of information are able to be graphed, in the same plane, on the same graph. Above is a great example of this exact kind of map because it is part of a paper whose goal is to try and convey that information should be made available to the masses, and one great way is the parallel coordinate graph, which compiles and displays a lot of information in one way. These graphs can be used in instances where there are several factors that affect the outcome or when many factors need to be taken into account to get the "big picture." For this specific map, the colored lines actually represent cars and the sections are all the factors that affect them when they're being operated.
