Project background
This project represents an early trial to address the research gap on city-level digital twins. The pilot is focused on commutes, such as journeys to work, which are a key determinant of peak-time travel demand. It aims to develop a digital twin model prototype for examining the potential impacts of digital transformation on journeys to work in the Cambridge sub-region.
Outcomes
A computational digital twin model was developed based on the journeys to work data. The proposed digital twin model builds on established transport modelling methods and incorporates new explanatory variables relating to the type of employment and the demands on the built environment.
Method
- Data analysis
- Case study
