This is Moscow autumn foggy morning. It’s one of central streets and we can see visible information, a traffic jam, this is a typical situation on this road on workdays. We see only one car of public transport, trolley. And that’s interesting, that we can’t see people. Also, we can see that one part of roadway (on the bridge) is empty, while the other part is in jam - I think this situation shows us, that there is a real traffic problem. The invisible information here is about transportation of course. At first, it’s a data about patterns of car holders behavior. It could help specialists to find a good decision to solve this hard problem of traffic jam in this local part and Moscow center at all. I think this case is on work now in Center for Organization of Road Traffic of the Government of Moscow. At second, invisible information is about public transport. It shows behavior patterns of people who use public transport. This data could show is this part of route effective and popular, could it partly solve the problem with traffic jam. But I think that in Moscow collecting the data about behavior passengers of public ground transport is not objective, because people check they travel cards only when they come in buses/trolley/tram and they don’t check out. Maybe we should use mobile operator data to distinguish which stops are popular and why but I think it’s difficult to separate passengers from others – pedestrians and car drivers. Anyway I’m interesting about features of collecting and analysis of such data, but I’m not a specialist at all.
