The two invisible information that can be extracted from this photo are 1. The traffic flow pattern throughout the day and 2. The information from the Bus stop. I will try to elaborate on second point. By installing sensors at the Bus stop we would be able to measure the number of people waiting for the bus at various times of the day. Also we can track the frequency of buses on various routes via this bus stop. The number of people using a bus on particular route can be monitored in real time. This will help in proper planning of variable bus frequency on a route with this over the day data. This can help in reducing the citizen's waiting time on the bus stop. Also bus fleet capacity can be optimized resulting in fuel saving and better service.
