1)VISIBLE INFORMATION: Central Train Station of Antwerp; Uber Eats scooter; 2 bicycles waiting at the traffic lights; Lots of bicycles parked; Green lane next to the road; Bicycle lane at the road; At the clock of the station we can see it’s 22h10; Terraces of bars and restaurants 2)INVISIBLE INFORMATION: Urban functionality=>we have an important building for the city In this picture, the Central Train Station. It’s maybe interesting to see how many people pass by and which transportation method they use to get into the station. This could help us to detect urban dynamics and to evaluate urban functionality. - interchange patterns spatially and temporally. It tells the redistribution of passengers in the traffic network. So those diagrams represents interchange volumes at a junction. To transportation planners it is very useful to us for querying the situation for traffic flows. 3)KNOWLEDGE:As said we can study the interchange patterns spatially and temporally. This is one of the city kerns and its interest for urban and transportation planners to know how many people move around that building, how and with what purposes to design the appropriate infrastructure to make the urban functionality of this building the best as possible.
