A ‘digital twin’ is a virtual, data-driven representation of the many characteristics and behaviours of any real-world physical asset, process or system. In the railway sector, ‘digital twins’ could be used across several different engineering, planning, and operational aspects, such as monitoring physical assets (rolling stock and infrastructure), monitoring train movements and providing information about passenger behaviour on-board trains, in stations or on platforms.
As Europe advances rail modernisation, ERTMS projects remain challenging to deliver across diverse legacy systems and national requirements. The challenge now is achieving implementation that is both consistent and efficient, a goal that is becoming more attainable through emerging digital delivery methods.
