CReDo Phase 2: Developing Decision-Support Use Cases

Report for CReDo Phase 2 produced by Frontier Economics with Connected Places CatapultFOREWORD The opportunities from digital twins lie in their ability to operationalise real world data to support better decision-making. Here we lay the groundwork for CReDo as a decision-support and cost-benefit analysis tool for the strategic resilience planning use case. Developing and embedding economic cost models and decision-making algorithms in this phase of work will enable CReDo to generate actionable insights from complex infrastructure and weather data.

There are many other high impact decision intelligence use cases for CReDo and connected infrastructure digital twins that have the opportunity to provide real benefits to customers, network operators, and wider society. Machine learning and artificial intelligence systems will enable CReDo to optimise across richer and more dynamic sources of data. Exploring these will be the subject of future work.
