DT Hub Working Groups – choose our priority topics

[Ali Mahdmina]

I suggest a transport infrastructure group

[Luke O’Rafferty]

For sector specific I’d look at any of the infrastructure groups that are already engaged and making headway to get to a point of maturity at the interfaces so we can make the NDT more “real”. For example, can we get to a space where we can agree what the energy sector would like to know, what we can call it and then publish for use? That could be something like “ELEC_FORECAST_DRAW” we all agree would be useful for the energy companies to know for a standardised forecast from anyone who is willing to provide it. We can then target our sites/manufacturing facilities/offices to produce a “real” source of data that can be drawn upon at a national level. Perhaps they provide an “ELEC_MEASURED_DRAW” data feed in return and people start to see how things are going to interconnect and develop.

Could we look at potential International opportunities for UK companies? 

Also it would be good to hear from DT projects from outside of the construction/infra realm.

I suggest a Housing/ residential working group

[David Murray]

It may be helpful to set up a group, possibly initially from Network Leaders and The Skills & Capabilities document contributors, to steer coherence between sectors. Sharing skills and competencies between sectors would help more rapid development of all sectors and simplify a ‘grand joining-up’ at some point in the future. Contributing to this would be the simplification of personnel transfer between sectors and sharing common standards.

A geospatial / economic digital twin – capturing all the key data used for green book calculations in building infrastructure business cases – to accelerate and drive efficiency in infrastructure planning for transport and social infrastructure, as wll as being useful to help design and make the case for geographically sensitive policy deployments.

 

[Benjamin Ford]

a digital twin of the movement of people – understanding people flows, origin destination and interchange accross all modes, providing a shared basis to manage passenger journeys instead of infrastructure movements. needs to be publicly owned and operated so as to optimise for collective public / economic benefit rather than private interests, in the long term aims to become the ultimate guide to transport operational decision making and planning

I missed the poll but I belive the two most important features for development are:

 

• Open standards and interoperability

   

• Governance models and trust
