Urban Planning & Parking Solutions

How to Balance Functionality and Sustainability with Digital Twin Simulation?

In today’s cities, where space is limited and sustainability is crucial, effective planning is essential for building efficient infrastructures. Balancing practical use and environmental impact in the design of roads, public spaces, and parking infrastructure is key to ensuring sustainable urban growth. How can planners achieve this balance when population growth, traffic patterns and environmental regulations are constantly shifting? Cities need smarter planning tools that allow them to predict outcomes and optimize designs to meet current and future demands, such as:

  • Reducing traffic congestion and improving pedestrian flow
  • Designing parking solutions that maximize space without harming the environment
  • Ensuring accessibility while minimizing the carbon footprint
  • Enhancing green spaces and community amenities to promote sustainability

With the power of accurate Digital Twin simulation, these challenges can be effectively addressed. By simulating different what-if scenarios and using real-time data, urban planners can make informed decisions that lead to more functional, efficient, and sustainable urban developments.

Key Benefits of Digital Twin Solutions

Digital Twin simulation enables city planners to see the outcomes of “what-if” scenarios for urban landscapes, facilities, and processes before real-world implementation. By leveraging real-time data, planners can test strategies, monitor performance, and make informed decisions to improve urban planning and operations. From individual buildings to entire cities, our Digital Twin software provides critical insights that lead to smarter, safer and more sustainable development.

Traffic Flow and Pedestrian Safety

Analyze traffic patterns and safety hazards under different conditions, such as peak hours or construction, helping planners create safer transportation networks that serve vehicles, pedestrians, and emergency services.

Sustainable and Efficient Parking Solutions

Model diverse parking solutions, including underground garages and EV charging stations, to maximize space and meet sustainability goals in green-conscious, pedestrian-friendly environments.

Streamlined Construction and Logistics

Optimize construction by simulating logistics, minimizing waste, and ensuring projects are completed on time and within budget. Simulate the entire construction process, from material delivery to labor scheduling, for cost-effective and resource-efficient development.

Benefits of Simulation

InControl offers a powerful platform that enables you to create a Digital Twin of real-world infrastructures and systems. This virtual replica allows you to gain valuable insights into the behavior of the actual system under various conditions and scenarios. By modeling manufacturing plants, supply chains, logistics networks, transportation systems, and more, you can understand and optimize the performance of your operations.

The software’s core functionality involves simulating the flow of entities, such as products, persons, or vehicles, through an infrastructure or system. By considering factors like resource allocation, processing times, and transportation, users can experiment with diverse strategies and policies. This experimentation empowers you to optimize processes, boost efficiency, mitigate bottlenecks, and proactively identify potential issues before implementing changes in the real world.

Reduced costs

Minimize rework and optimize material usage by identifying potential issues early in the design phase, saving you time and money.

Enhanced Efficiency

Streamline workflows by leveraging simulation to test various design iterations quickly and efficiently, accelerating project timelines.

Improved Safety

Identify potential structural risks and ensure the integrity of your designs before construction begins, mitigating safety hazards.

Elevated User Experience

Design with human comfort and functionality in mind. Simulate realistic behaviour to create spaces that are functional and user-friendly.

 OUR DIGITAL TWIN SOFTWARE

Our powerful Digital Twin software application is designed to model any kind of pedestrian infrastructure or environment.

Our software significantly contributes to the customer experience, (cost) efficiency, innovation, safety, and security of your event. It has been widely employed in numerous large-scale projects across critical infrastructure environments, including stadiums, airports, public transport terminals, mega-events, and urban planning.

The software offers a rapid model-building environment, delivering both time and cost savings. With just a few straightforward steps, even the most complex operations can be efficiently modeled. For instance, in crafting a Digital Twin for an airport terminal, multi-source data inputs such as CAD drawings and BIM models are seamlessly integrated. Once the layout is established, the simulation incorporates all types of visitor/pedestrian data.
