The Katechaki metro station The "401 General Military Hospital of Athens" Calatrava's pedestrian bridge of Katechaki The pedestrian entrance of Katechaki parking B. Invisible information 1. The pedestrian patterns of preference in order to cross the crossroad in a combination with the destinations. 2. Data of the anxiety and alertness levels of pedestrians when they cross the road C. Making the invisible - visible By accessing Biometric parameters like heartbeat rates and emotional responses we could understand better the preferences of the paths & patterns of crossing the streets. This data and information could provide us a deep understanding of the social practices, preferences, and decisions based on the culture of the pedestrians in order to provide the right knowledge of everyday life patterns. With that knowledge, we rearrange in sort term the traffic lights and traffic policeman resources. And provide the right urban design solutions & infrastructures in the long term
