Digital Twins : A new model for urban governance
A vivid three-dimensional rendering of a bridge appeared on the intelligent monitor and evaluation platform at Beijing Yunlu Technology , pointing to key factors of bridge health . Real-time status , events , transportation navigation and traffic conditions were all tracked on the screen . This article by China Report ASEAN explores the excellence of Digital Twin technology and its opportunity for governance of urban spaces .
N umerous sensors installed on bridge track every minor dynamic change on the bridge surface and perform digital analysis , according to Gao Fengyong , a regional chief with the tech firm . When a large vehicle approaches , the system checks its weight and produces an early warning if the vehicle and its load is heavier than the bridge was designed to support . The vehicle is then immediately intercepted from crossing the bridge as an emergency response . The screen of the monitor platform shows a Digital Twin replica of the bridge .
