Visible Information: The commercial street consists of modern buildings with different construction materials majorly used by motorized transportation. Some repairing work is going on road which is disturbing the traffic. Number of two wheelers in comparison to the four wheelers are very less. There is no dedicated pedestrian roads and crossroads for pedestrians. Not Visible: 1. The instinct invisible information we get from this image is, there is no information on how long the people travel to get at this place. Trip lengths of various people in this area and from which areas these trips are generated is invisible. 2. Also, amount of pollution that is generated by the vehicular movement on this road is invisible. Total fruit fall of this area daily and annually can’t be judged from this image. How invisible information can become knowledge: Cities are exploring for a more efficient mobility experience. Through gathered data cities should detect the flows of transportation modes used by people daily and their experience. For better urban design of any public place we should gather and use various data related to modes of transportation, better connectivity, encouraged public transport to get over various issues of urban city.
