Overview

With the growing attention to the maintenance and operation of transportation infrastructure and roadways, an informed decision-making process is crucial for ensuring asset reliability and performance. A digital representation of the physical asset, also known as the Digital Twin (DT), can visualize the performance of the infrastructure asset over its lifecycle using a combination of smart sensors, Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) and in most cases Building Information Modelling (BIM).

The main goal of this online training is to introduce the fundamentals of Digital Twins for road infrastructure. Different aspect of transportation infrastructure digital twins in terms of performance data sources, performance monitoring and decision making will be discussed. Moreover, the main tools to build a digital twin for roadways will be introduced to showcase their capabilities in digitizing and visualizing the asset performance.

Participants will be guided through various interactive course modules and tutorials to gain the skills and knowledge for successful development and implementation of digital twins for roadway infrastructure. Roadway professionals, highway practitioners and local highway agency engineers will learn and benefit from the various aspects of digital twins that can be employed and implemented in their daily operations.
