Excercise 1 - making the invisible visible - rail journey planner
FC-01x Future Cities (1st Run) - Exercise 1 : "Making the Invisible - Visible"
Uploaded on 2014-12-09 by MicScu
The first system to make the invisible visible is the display board in the upper part of the image; what time the train is expected to leave based on its progress arriving at designated points before the station. This system allows us to visualise the train in a time slot so we can plan accordingly. The second system is a journey planner mobile phone application which visualises segments of several journeys to plan ones own journey. This system predicts journey times based on a 'live' feed of information from various sources, such as the rail network's own news feed and signals from current commuters experience. As illustrated there appears to be difficulty on 2 of the 3 routes. Over time the predicted times will expand and contract depending on delays on the rail network.
