CIV5802 · Smart urban mobility and digital twins

Overview

This unit is designed to give you a deep understanding of urban mobility, covering its fundamental principles and key challenges, including sustainable mobility, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), and data-driven approaches. You will gain a thorough grasp of digital twins: what they are, how they’re built, and the diverse data sources that feed into them. The unit focuses on practical applications, guiding you to design, develop, validate, and optimise mobility solutions using digital twins to tackle real urban challenges like traffic congestion, energy efficiency, and accessibility.
