Digital Twinning for Crisis response in Transport-based Scenarios: Research Outcomes: DTBOC - Digital Twins Beyond Observed Capabilities: Summary Report

The findings in this report are based primarily on data collected from two sandpit events which brought together over 100 participants from research institutions, government, and industry. The findings are also supported by desk-based research, including a comprehensive literature review, and by the researchers’ own experience and judgement. Feasibility analysis was conducted on 24 crisis resilience digital twin (CRDT) value propositions, considering technological, social, legal, and economic factors, as well as delivery timescales. Digital twins are virtual models of objects, systems, or processes, connected to their real-world counterpart by a 2-way flow of right-time data, meaning they mimic the counterparts in all aspects. This project focussed on digital twins for crisis response and resilience in the context of transport related risks.
