When the science of where is not enough

When analyzing transit and mobility it is always a great help to draw things on a map. This helps us answer the question “ where are things happening?”

Nonetheless, many times the result of the analysis can change drastically if we don’t take the time into account. Maybe the most obvious example is when analyzing commuting patterns: if you analyze the whole day it looks like the people going to the city center is approximately the same that goes in the opposite direction. When you split it by time of day you can see a big difference in the way people moves in the morning (going to work) and the afternoon (returning home).

In this kind of cases where we want to deepen our understanding of a particular situation, we need to add a second variable to the analysis: time . This will help us answer when things are happening.
