A new episode of “Incontri con il Futuro – Storie di innovazione dall’ecosistema RAISE”, the video-podcast created in collaboration with Rinnovabili.it, is now available. The series explores experiences and key players in robotics and artificial intelligence research.
This episode has focused on the application of digital twins to urban mobility, offering a concrete perspective on how digital models can support city planning. It has explored the Be-Twin project, developed within Spoke 4 of the RAISE ecosystem, which uses traffic data and advanced simulations to analyze and predict urban scenarios.
The guests of the episode are Francesco Rebora, CEO of Exis Engineering Solutions, and Ginevra Roggero, mobility engineer at the same company. During the conversation, they have described how the project has integrated engineering expertise and digital tools to address challenges related to traffic management and infrastructure planning.
The digital twin has represented the core technology of the project. By creating a digital replica of the city, the system has enabled the simulation of urban mobility under different conditions. Data analysis has made it possible to observe the impact of variables such as traffic flows, road network changes, and the introduction of new services, providing concrete support for decision-making processes.
The episode has highlighted the importance of data as a key element in understanding the complexity of urban environments. The Be-Twin project has collected and integrated information from multiple sources, building models capable of delivering a dynamic representation of the city. This approach has enabled the anticipation of critical issues, the evaluation of alternative scenarios, and the identification of more effective solutions to improve mobility.
Throughout the episode, the potential of digital twins to support more informed and sustainable planning has clearly emerged. Simulations have provided a valuable tool to test interventions before implementation, reducing uncertainty and supporting more informed choices. This has outlined a vision of cities where technology and data guide urban development.
The discussion has also emphasized the importance of collaboration between research and industry. The experience of Exis Engineering Solutions has shown how the integration of technological innovation and real-world applications can generate solutions with a tangible impact on people’s quality of life.
This episode offers a clear and accessible overview of how digital twins can transform urban mobility, highlighting their role in designing more efficient, sustainable, and people-centered cities.
