A generic digital twin framework to foster sustainable mobility in the 15mC

Project Details

Description

To implement the 15-minute city concept in urban areas, we need to rethink and reorganise our mobility systems. Digitalisation is a
key factor in this process, with digital twins being one of the promising technologies to be utilised. In the CITWIN project, we aim to
explore this potential by developing a generic digital twin framework that allows us to model potential changes to active transport
infrastructure in urban areas and evaluate their contribution towards the realisation of a 15-minute city. To make the framework
applicable within the 15-minute city context, we will explicitly model and evaluate social dimensions inside the digital twin, such as
the influence of the physical environment on the well-being of citizens. Two urban living labs will be established in the cities of
Aarhus and Eskilstuna, and serve as a testbed for the developments within the project.
