Digital twins for transportation in Smart Cities

Abstract:
Many cities that are developing their “smart city” concept have over time built so-called living laboratories, parts of cities designed for the development and testing of new technologies. Their purpose is not just testing the functionality of new technologies, but they are used to monitoring the impact of smart solutions on the behavior of the population in the area, examining how different groups of people accept these solutions, how to adjust them to increase their impact, etc. In Prague, as part of the TAČR D3E project (of which we are the principal investigator) such a living laboratory is currently being created. We are currently working on the concept of the Transport Digital Twin, where the real traffic situation in a part of the city will be mirrored to the virtual world. In the next steps of the project, we will study new trends related to the development of smart cities in the field of transport. To do this, we use adaptive algorithms of intelligent transport systems, which consider the possibilities of cooperation and mutual influence of individual vehicles as well as the interaction of vehicles with urban infrastructure. Partially or fully autonomous vehicles together with elements of intelligent infrastructure play an important role here, but our emphasis will be on traffic management and control from the point of view of infrastructure. In the project, students can get involved in solving real projects. The main tasks fall into the following areas: •Creation of a traffic digital twin (traffic simulations in the SUMO environment, data processing and analysis, and more) •Design of new traffic management algorithms incorporating cooperative and autonomous systems (GLOSA, local level routing, and others) •Studies of traffic behavior (survey data processing, creation of models in the MATSim environment, and more) •many other topics by agreement. We expect the project students to work closely together with the team within the LAMbDA laboratory (lambda.fd.cvut.cz), which is directly connected to European (H2020 MAVEN, H2020 nuMIDAS) and national (TAČR D3E, OP VVV SMART) scientific research projects and industrial partners.
