The technical tool is time series similarity analysis. As a result, the work identifies the main patterns of user behavior on the use of railway stations (railway transport). The results of the work were used in the design of new lines of urban railways. Obviously, the use patterns reflect the current state of the transport system and the urban environment. Accordingly, the recorded changes in usage patterns can serve as indicators and metrics for changes in the urban environment. Our paper in Arxiv
