![enter image description here][1] Visible Photo (by me)—Two adjoining level crossings in the downtown of Bikaner city 2. Identify and present two "invisible information" that can be extracted out of the visible information of this photo. Invisible information-------- (1) Two adjoining level crossings have no nearby grade separation like underbridge / overbridge needing undue traversing of more than two kms to go to other side during closure (2) Increasing carbon footprint dur to undue long traversing during closure resulting in excessive pollution due to emission of vehicles of the city having population of 0.6 Million ---- due to lack of political will power to remove encroachments of right of way of railway land https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iU3ZRTkouW8&feature=youtu.be Youtube vide showing frequent traffic jam due to two adjoining level crossings at the downtown of the city-Bikaner 3. Select one of your choices from the previous question and describe how this invisible information can become knowledge and contribute to the planning of a more liveable urban space. This invisible information of lack of alternative grade separators nearby level crossings in the densely populated area showing very urgent solution of grade separation to cross railway line to get rid of traffic jam. Indian railway have ruling for provision of overbridge of TVU (traffic vehicles unit) acquired by multiplying road traffic and number of rails crossing at level crossing. Such problem is common in the urban areas of developing countries needing serious consideration. [1]: https://edxuploads.s3.amazonaws.com/1435691482299384.jpg
