The most obvious issue for me would be that infrastructure owners tend to have a concern with a population of users or customers, but the infrastructure impacts much more widely (e.g. through externalities like congestion and pollution) – so crucial that all our approaches (SPENSER, QUANT, MISTRAL etc) are grounded in understanding trends, patterns and impacts across the whole population. This underscores the importance of having a NATIONAL digital twin and I guess a need to balance interests of infrastructure providers with local agencies and some coordination through central government/ NIC and the like. The Turing I think is well-placed to tread a middle ground between these various interest groups, and also particularly well-placed to engage with government.
