The Digital Twin of Moscow is a city management tool based on a 2500 square km 3D model of the capital, which integrates street panoramas, models, information about buildings and communications, up-to-date spatial information, geoanalytics tools and other data — more than 5,000 information layers.
The Digital Twin helps to form a comprehensive approach to the development of infrastructure and the improvement of the city that takes into account all parameters and development scenarios. For example, specialists can change the parameters of the model online, including the location of the designed infrastructure facilities, the characteristics of landscaping elements, and evaluate and choose the most optimal development scenario.
The Digital Twin is in high demand in urban planning and city development, for example, during the planning of the city’s development and territorial planning (with legal restrictions taken into account). During the construction of a new residential complex, specialists can visually assess the future architectural appearance of the area, simulate all stages of construction (from design documentation to landscaping of the courtyard area), assess the impact of the new facility on the load of public transport, schools, and hospitals.
Modeling of the road infrastructure within the framework of the Digital Twin helps to optimize traffic flows in Moscow.
