Three Articles about Digital Twins that Really Add Value

Is the concept of the digital twin merely a hype, or do digital twins actually offer lots of opportunities? As these three articles show, they really can add value – especially if you remain critical and take a nuanced view of their applications. And on another positive note, all the mainstream attention being paid to digital twins right now highlights the value of geoinformation – which is good for the geospatial industry too!

数字双胞胎：全面的解决方案还是充满希望的愿景？

自2016年以来，数字双胞胎的概念一直在地理空间领域中获得显着的动力。尽管在数字双胞胎的基本特征上达成了一些共识，但仍需要进行一些批判性反思来使该概念有形。只有这样，数字双胞胎才能作为技术解决方案实现，该解决方案将其扩展到现实世界中的问题，而不是对部分解决方案的抽象愿景。让我们借此机会反思地理空间领域中实用的数字双胞胎相关挑战。

‘Digital twin’ is a catch-all term that has come to be used in many different ways in the geospatial domain since its introduction a few years ago. Without a common understanding of what the concept entails (and what is new to it), DTs can end up being treated as unproductive goals on their own, rather than the best means to support current challenges such as climate adaptation and urbanization. There is also a risk of non-directed, fragmented solutions with unrealistic promises, which can fail to implement DTs as a real-world solution beyond pilots and projects.Read the entire article here

Building a Digital Twin for Germany

德国联邦制图和大地测量机构（BKG）正在创建德国数字双胞胎，可用于模拟各种未来的情况，以充分解决社会挑战，例如对土地的日益增长，能源需求的日益增加和极端天气。德国的数字复制品将被建造为一个智能的3D世界，其中包含所有必需的地理空间对象，从而使相关的过程可以在整体上绘制并基于共同的数据基础相互映射。这旨在支持更快，更明智和更可靠的决策。

数字双德国远远超出了3D模型的结构。此外，目的是在联邦和州一级建立和建立利益相关者的沟通渠道和网络。通常，它应该使决策者和决策者能够监视特定条件和测试场景。可以对系统如何对变化和修改做出反应进行预测。这创建了新的决策工具，公共部门员工可以通过这些工具最佳地管理其任务。例如，联邦政府中的一个有趣的应用是全国性的环境监测系统。

3D City Models and Their Multitude of Purposes

3D city models can be used in map applications, urban planning, virtual events and as a starting point for various other applications. At Aalto University, research into the topic has focused on ways to use city models in the capital region of Finland and on applying new 3D mapping technologies to the modelling of cities.

Helsinki Smart Digital Twin 2025项目尤其着重于资本3D城市模型的利用率和开发。其目的是发现在不同流程和商业生活中使用城市模型的新的，更有效的方法。该项目旨在提高知识，并在赫尔辛基市，其公民和公司之间发展专业知识和经济基础。188asia备用网址
