Invisible informations** a) *flow of shop and restaurant visitors* On the left side and on the right side of the street are shops, the flow of the people visiting the venues on this street. b) *use of public transport* As there is a Bus Stop on this picture, it is possible to measure the necessarity of this Bus Stop and the use of the public Transport in this street in general. **Measure the invisible information of example (b)** The use of public transport and the Bus lines can be measured with counting. You can find out how often which bus line passes this bus stop, how often a stop is demanded, how many people get in or out of the bus on this stop and it is possible to estimate the amount of passengers in the Bus. With this informations it is possible to improve and adapt public transport. For example, amount of busses passing per hour do we need more buses of less, when are the most people using the bus lines? Is this bus stop necessary? Questions like those can be answered by these observations and public transport can be improved. [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/1416531192699607.jpg
