Sustainable Development Goals
Abstract/Objectives
The project explores how digital twins can enhance smart cities by focusing on key functions like object mapping and user interaction. It generates new research topics, innovative solutions, and boosts academic engagement. Tasks include developing a comprehensive digital twin system and creating open-source prototypes. Insights gained will help Taiwan's ICT industry transition to digital twin-enabled smart city services, fostering industrial progress. Ultimately, digital twin-enabled smart cities aim to meet diverse urban needs in line with UN Sustainable Development Goal 11.
Results/Contributions

The project aims to explore the utilization of digital twins in enhancing smart city applications by focusing on four key functions: object mapping, object relation, data availability, and user interaction. The project will lead to various research topics, contribute innovative solutions, and advance academic engagement in this emerging field. The project will involve developing a comprehensive urban digital twin system architecture, creating an open-source urban digital twin prototype system, and devising optimization algorithms for multiple usage scenarios. The gained insights will support Taiwan's ICT industry in transitioning towards offering comprehensive digital twin-enabled smart city services, thereby promoting industrial advancement. Ultimately, digital twin-enabled smart cities are envisioned to fulfill diverse urban needs, foster inclusive, secure, resilient, and sustainable urban environments aligned with UN Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities.
