Digital Twins Help Cities Study Operations of Infrastructure Systems

To assist with city management and planning, a growing number of local governments may eventually turn to digital twins — virtual models that replicate the performance of real-world systems, structures and processes.

Digital twins take the concept of a computer simulation to the next level by incorporating information about how an existing item is functioning, collected via Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, to provide a more in-depth, accurate projection.

While digital twin platforms are still an emerging technology, they have a number of potential applications in municipal environments.
