Twin4Resilience simplifies digital and green transition

The green and digital transition is making decision-making processes increasingly complex for local and regional authorities, particularly in the area of spatial planning. Local Digital Twins (LDTs) can simplify and improve these processes.

Objective of Twin4Resilience

Twin4Resilience aims to increase innovative knowledge and skills among civil servants, urban development companies and citizens about the possibilities and limitations of local digital twins (LDTs). The project aims to promote the understanding and use of LDTs among stakeholders in order to stimulate their democratic application in decision-making.

What does the VMM do within Twin4Resilience?

Within T4R, we investigate the impact of overflowing on both water quality and water quantity. In the long term, an LDT can help to simulate the impact of measures in order to arrive at efficient solutions.

With the new European Urban Waste Water Directive (ERSA), the focus is shifting to overflows. Using an LDT, the overflows with the greatest impact can be identified so that they can be included more quickly in the minister's prioritisation areas. Sewer managers are given two years to draw up an action plan to tackle these problems in these areas.
