Abstract

By gathering data from the actual environment and simulating it, digital twin (DT) technology portrays the twinning behavior of a tangible thing or process, i.e., the current and future behavior. In a variety of fields and industries, including industrial, automotive, medical, smart cities, etc., it is utilized for predictive analysis. In the age of a growing urban population, it is a challenge not only to maintain water quality but also to develop a system that manages water logging-related problems like sewage overflows and flash floods. Numerous initiatives have failed to meet the needed performance standards because there is insufficient ongoing monitoring of data in real time and a poor knowledge of self-propelled systems. To address these issues, engineers are seeking to build a network embedded with data sensors and online models using digital twin technology for real-time monitoring of system dynamics. Operators can use this technology to spot odd sewer network conditions and then dispatch a maintenance crew to conduct repairs before damage is done. It results in reducing the operational cost of the system and preventing sewer overflows and waterlogging to a large extent. The main challenge of DT technology in social adoption is the lack of standardization of definitions and characteristics. Performance ...
