Mobiliti: A Digital Twin for Regional Transportation Network Design and Evaluation

Mobiliti is introduced as a foundation for a Digital Twin for managing transportation systemsTransportation systems across metropolitan regions and for planning and designing urban networks. Regional transportation systemsTransportation systems consist of interconnected subnetworks, each governed by different municipalities. Although localization simplifies analysis, transportation projects must be evaluated within the context of the larger regional network due to their potential impacts on overall network performance. The computational challenges of simulating metropolitan networks are addressed through parallel discrete event simulationParallel discrete event simulation, enhancing the predictive capabilities of the Digital Twin framework. This technology demonstrates significant potential to enhance urban quality of life, encourage shifts to multi-person vehicle use, and provide actionable feedback on infrastructure investments to ensure that urban environments are economically viable, safe, and healthy.
