1. This picture is taken from the most populated area of Aligarh. The rotary connects four directions, leading to four most important cities of the country, including India's capital. As can be seen, in the picture, two buses and some auto-rickshaws are there, which indicates that this area carries heavy traffic daily. Almost 5000 people walk through this area in a day. This rotary is located at the center of Aligarh, so if any person wants to move from one corner to another corner of the city, he/she needs to cross the rotary. Traffic, along with people migration, is visible information that we can see in this picture. 2. In this picture, we can see that the patterns of travel behaviour vary with respect to the person requirement. Most of the people prefer public transpot while a little prefer their own vehicles. The next invisible information is the idea of people travelling in different times of the day. The redistribution of passengers is also an invisible information which helps us in future design. 3. This invisible information suggests for construction of a flyover or metro for easy movement of passengers and to reduce traffic.
