[Very very draft] HE DT Policy
I’ve been drafting a Digital Twin Policy for HE and would appreciate any feedback. Some of it is quite HE-specific, but I’m hoping that the broader structure and themes is accessible to non-HE people. What do you think?
[Very very draft] Highways England Digital Twin Policy
Â
Purpose of this document:
- Definition:Â To agree a working definition of Digital Twin for Highways England, and provide some context on the National Digital Twin programme.
- Principles: To establish a consistent and generally accepted set of principles for the creation and use of Digital Twins by Highways England and associated supply chain projects, and align these to the Information Principles described in our Information Vision & Strategy.
- Architecture: To describe the common data and technology underpinnings of Digital Twin development within Highways England, including infrastructure, integration, and interfaces, aligned with National Digital Twin programme’s Information Management Framework.
- Capability:Â To highlight the skills we require as an organisation in order to be an informed client and custodian of Digital Twins.
- Ethics:Â To set guidelines around the ethical implications of using Digital Twins to manage the Strategic Road Network.
- Governance:Â To document how we will govern Digital Twins within Highways England as a collaborative body of practice, as well as how we will quantify and capture the benefits of investment in Digital Twins.
This document should be read as contributing to the realisation of Highways England’s Information Vision and Strategy and abide by our Information Management System.

oh man this is big, I’ve skimmed it, but I’ll come back to it in earnest soon @Ian Gordon.
From my first pass the tone is right and it doesn’t read like policy statements of old that sought to write in stone eternal truths and irrefutable facts with thou shalts and orders from on high, but ultimately were trying to nail jelly to the wall. This reads like something that clearly sets out the philosophy, the context and the direction of travel for digital twins in HE that understands the fluid nature of the situation and is ready to adapt to that.
