Connecting data for more road safety
Esri develops the classic “Digital Twin” into a "Living Digital Twin" by integrating dynamic sensor data from car manufacturers. This data, which is made available via the MDS, enables continuous and precise adaptation to the constantly changing traffic situation. The Living Digital Twin acts as a virtual image of the real traffic environment and provides real-time information on traffic density, road conditions, weather conditions and other relevant factors.
By analysing this data, traffic planners can make informed decisions to optimise traffic flows, identify bottlenecks, and minimise the risk of accidents. In this way, the Living Digital Twin can make a valuable contribution to improving police and rescue operations or more efficient route planning.

Esri's Living Digital Twin serves as a virtual image of the real traffic environment and provides real-time information on traffic density, road and weather conditions as well as other relevant factors.

Traffic information
Esri integrates dynamic sensor data from car manufacturers into its digital twin. This data includes geographic coordinates and transforms the digital twin into a living digital twin that continuously adapts to current conditions.
