BASIC CONCEPT OF DIGITAL TWIN AND APPLICATION TO CIVIL ENGINEERING

Abstract

The concept of a digital twin is to create a virtual space that is an abstraction of the real space, process information in the virtual space, and reflect it in the real world. Information acquisition function for creating virtual space corresponding to real space, function for sharing and transmitting information in virtual space, information processing function for processing information, and information processed in virtual space to real space. The information utilization function of the action is the skeleton of the digital twin concept. This paper considers the functions required of digital twins, organizes the use cases in which digital twins are currently expected to be used, and organizes them as research issues that need to be resolved in order to implement digital twins in society in the future. do.
