The growth of smart cities includes the application of next-generation information technologies across all urban operation domains, thus enabling the deep integration of urbanization, industrialization, and informatization. This integration not only eliminates the "urban diseases" but also achieves digital, refined, and dynamic management, which in turn, upgrades the modernization of the urban governance system and capabilities, and therefore allows the citizens to physically experience the sense of gain and happiness brought by the urban development. Digital twin technology, being the innovative leading technology for new-type smart city construction, is the main pillar among them—and the Digital Twin Urban Management Platform is its main vehicle. This platform duplicates urban operation in a virtual space, facilitates smart urban parking, creates a digital twin intelligent traffic management system, increases the foundational power of the urban brain, and accomplishes full-domain, full-temporal-spatial data integration of the dynamic and static traffic. It has been tested as a valid method for intelligent transportation informatization construction and has become a new industrial development trend.
The Digital Twin Urban Management Platform is mainly supported by the data and models integration serving as the base and the core. Within the digital space, it maps out in detail the physical objects in the real world, and by using data integration and analytical forecasting it can simulate, validate, and control the full-lifecycle processes of physical entities. The data of the platform is comprised of the real-time sensing data and operational historical data while its models range from physical to mechanistic and to process models. It can be seen as a concept that goes beyond reality and can be considered a digital mapping system of one or more critical, interdependent equipment systems. In the case of urban governance scenarios, this platform is a "virtual script" of cities: it breaks down the real and the virtual world's divide, harnessing the data to support the operation and decision-making of urban operation management.
Paired with it, the Intelligent IoT Sensing Terminal (Smart Light Poles and Gas Inspection Robots) is the front-end core of the data collection. Smart Light Poles combine the functions of environmental monitoring, video surveillance, and 5G communication among others, thereby they are "nerve endings" of the urban sensing network. Gas Inspection Robots inspect pipelines, detect leaks, and carry out other tasks on their own, thus, they help in elevating the work of urban safety operation and maintenance to a higher level. These terminal devices keep sending the real-time data to the Digital Twin Urban Management Platform which is crucial for the platform’s dynamic simulation and at the same time helps to maintain the real-time and accuracy of urban governance.
On this initial basis, the Integrated Smart Urban Administration Management System harnesses governance resources across multiple domains to the fullest. It facilitates connection with the virtual mapping data of the Digital Twin Urban Management Platform, and incorporates real-time monitoring data from the Intelligent IoT Sensing Terminal hence consolidating business modules like urban appearance management, facility operation and maintenance, and emergency response. These, therefore, create a closed-loop management process of "perception-analysis-decision-execution," which drastically increases the collaborative efficiency of urban governance.
The Urban Governance Industry-specific Large Model is the intelligent decision-making brain to the aforementioned systems. It is trained on the vast urban governance data and capable of optimizing and simulating scenarios output by the Digital Twin Urban Management Platform. Besides, this model can provide very accurate scheduling proposals for the Integrated Smart Urban Administration Management System and make predictive maintenance on the operational status of the Intelligent IoT Sensing Terminal. All these are means by which the level of intelligence in urban governance is raised.
In the traffic governance sector, the Intelligent Traffic Signal Control and Optimization Platform is the centerpiece application. The platform is able to extract both dynamic and static traffic data from the Digital Twin Urban Management Platform, aggregate deduction results from the Urban Governance Industry-specific Large Model, and reprogram the timing of traffic signals in an adaptive way so as to relieve the congestion at traffic nodes and maximize the travel efficiency. Besides that, it also communicates with an Intelligent IoT Sensing Terminal(e.g. the traffic monitoring modules of Smart Light Poles) and thus creates conditions for the traffic incidents to be rapidly perceived and dealt with.
The use of these Urban governance intelligent products in collaboration makes urban governance more efficient and intelligent. At CITSE, the technologies and products identified will be completely featured amid their real-life application scenarios, thereby indicating how digital twin, IoT, large models, and other technologies are deeply integrated into the entire urban governance process, thus, providing new solutions for the sustainable development of cities.
