Hi Tom & David,
Another really interesting and thought provoking presentation, thank you.
David:
Where in your work has the simulated digital twin helped decision makers explore and understand the connections between infrastructure?
Looking at scenario development – do you please have examples of where you have looked at built environment disaster recovery for power failure or flood risks?
Many thanks,
Katharine
Answering part 1, in Leeds and another project in the midlands once we’ve mapped the various infrstructure datasets/or IoT sensors into a common geospatial format we can trace through network behaviour the causal relationships. For example:
- Satellite imagery from ESA Sentinel programme gives mm accuracy ground movement every 6 days
- At the same long/lat there might be reports of a water pipe leakage
- These can be correlated to imply a relationship but requires a domain expert to either check by visting the location or doing further analysis
We haven’t yet done anything around disaster recovery but would love to have a chat about it and see if we could do a case study with you.
