The objective of this research is to provide a guidebook for airports to understand the concept of digital twins and the potential stakeholder benefits, and develop a roadmap for implementation of a digital twin program. The guidebook and roadmap should be scalable to airports of all sizes and accompanied by an executive summary for airport leadership.
The guidebook should address and/or include, at a minimum:
(1) A glossary of terms;
(2) An introduction and definition of digital twins;
(3) The range of requirements (security, legal, data systems, functionality, personnel, budget, training, etc.) for implementation of digital twins;
(4) An overview of current data visualization techniques, platforms, and technologies;
(5) Explore partnerships for both funding and data sourcing;
(6) General use cases for digital twins focusing on different airports functions (i.e., landside, terminal, airside, and cargo operations);
(7) At least four (4) specific airport case studies incorporating airports of various sizes, technological maturity, etc.; and
(8) At least one (1) case study from outside the aviation industry.
The roadmap should make sure to address the following elements at a minimum:
(1) Identifying and developing a digital twin use case template;
(2) Identifying and collecting necessary data, both real-time and historical;
(3) Incorporating predicative analytics tools;
(4) Reporting and using the outcomes to make decisions;
(5) Program governance including data and platform ownership; and
(6) Program maintenance and upgrades.
