A university in Turkey is creating digital twins for the countries 81 provinces to assist in urban development.
The Istanbul Technical University is developing the twins to improve transportation concerns and bolster environmental protection by reducing pollution.
The initiative hopes to provide better security against natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes. Virtual replicas can mimic life-threatening environmental challenges and scenarios, enabling authorities to plan effectively against them.
In the future, this initiative is looking to roll out nationwide, with the University looking to spearhead the development in line with its mission to become a top-ten global university.
This project underscores the potential of digital twins to shape how we combat climate change. Not only can twins help lower pollution levels due to their efficiency impact on companies, but they can also be used to mitigate against potential environmental threats through accurate simulation.
Thus, Istanbul Technical University is at the forefront of this technological change, developing innovative use cases for how we digital twins in the fight against climate change. For more information on the uses cases of digital twins, check out our intelligence platform, for the latest data.
