Uploaded on 2019-07-03 by Lorrane Reis
I live in Brazil and this is the center of my city (Contagem, MG). in the photo we see little traffic and also few pedestrians, however this scenario changes when rush hour arrives. in the rush hour schedule the traffic is congested and there are many people circulating in the region. what should be done is to check which regions are most used at these times, thus doing a study of what can be done to give more fluidity to the transit, through the analysis of these data we can plan new routes, enlargements of streets etc. Visible * buildings, cars, people. Not visible * number of cars that travel the area at certain times * most accessed streets at certain times Making the invisible visible * With the study and analysis of the research data we can make a better planning for the flow of traffic, thus benefiting the city as a whole.
