The Airport Digital Twin Workgroup will work to identify and define common Digital Twin challenges so that opportunities for industry advancement and open standards can be further explored and developed.

Common Challenges that current exist are:

Creating a single source of truth requires significant data cleansing, rectification, and standards.

Old systems and work arounds will be revealed and will need resolution to get data flowing smoothly.

Establishing a coherent vision of a Digital Twin is a fluid process.

A core team is a must to carry the program forward and push through issues.

Model development present challenges in data age and standards

 

Problems to be solved:

  1. Awareness and a Common Definition of Digital Twin for Airports
