Uploaded on 2018-11-09 by Olga Leshchenko
We observe a bright mall Bikini Berlin, a walking path with trees. There is a road with the cars, a street light and a parking space. We see people driving cars, waiting for the street light, walking next to the shopping mall, going in and out, walking on the opposite side, many lights in the mall are on. There can be two invisible information derived: 1. What is the age, class, gender, nationality of people visiting the shopping mall and to which shops in the mall they are going? 2. People who are driving the cars, where are they going, what is their navigation, did they use this road to go to an area nearby, or as a transit, or they are avoiding a traffic jam on the other street. From the second we can get knowledge on the traffic organization in the district by analyzing the reasons of taking that path. This can help us to improve the traffic organization in the city. Knowing that there is a traffic jam people avoid by taking longer path, producing more CO2, we can reorganize the traffic, help google maps create the way it takes less time and becomes more sufficient.
