Towards digital twinning for multi-domain simulation workflows in urban design: a case study in Gothenburg
In the ever-evolving landscape of urban development, ensuring environmental sustainability is paramount. However, the complexities of analyzing various environmental factors often pose significant challenges. Through digital twinning we could revolutionize how we assess urban developments. In a research article published on Taylor and Francis online, “Towards digital twinning for multi-domain simulation workflows in urban design: a case study in Gothenburg”, work is presented within the area.
DTCC Milestone Project Lunch Seminars 2024
This year we will present our Milestone Projects within DTCC in the form of digital lunch seminars via Zoom. Join us and learn more about the research being done in the Digital Twin area!
Film: Information visualization in urban 3D-models
A new video has been released as part of the Miljövis II project – part of the DTCC Milestone Project Twinable. The transdisciplinary project MiljöVis II aims to further develop and scale up new methods and solutions for 3D-visualization of invisible data (air, sound, and social consequences) in large scale infrastructure models, developed in an earlier project (MiljöVis I).
Pedestrian movement modeling crucial for urban planning
Urban design is evolving, and sustainability and inclusivity is now on the agenda. Pedestrian movement is an important part of it, and with the contribution of effective modeling of pedestrian flows, urban planning can promote sustainable mobility, reduce carbon emissions, enhance public health, and foster social cohesion. Within DTCC, the milestone project Crowd Movement has been working to link macroscale and microscale simulations to predict pedestrian movement flows. The project has now released its first research report.
