A 3D modelling, simulation and analytics capability that uses social collaboration is empowering "virtual twin technology" to become a new tool to transform future mobility and help smart cities deal with traffic congestion and air pollution, according to the France-based 3D design software firm Dassault Systèmes.
Virtual twin technology is an extension of a digital twin, which is a digital replica of a physical object, system or process that integrates advanced technologies and data sources to enable more sophisticated analysis, decision-making and interaction with the virtual representation.
