Revolutionising Urban Transport with Digital Twins
The concept of digital twins is revolutionizing various industries by creating precise digital replicas of physical entities, enabling better analysis, monitoring, and optimization. In the field of smart mobility, digital twins are proving to be a game-changer. This innovative technology is being harnessed to enhance urban transportation systems, making them more efficient, sustainable, and responsive to real-time demands.
Training and Expansion of DigiTwin4Mobility
The fourth edition of the DigiTwin4Mobility initiative, supported by EIT Urban Mobility, will train 100 professionals from the automotive and mobility sectors. This specialized programme is designed to provide experts with the required knowledge and skills to apply digital twins technology to urban mobility challenges. Through the programme, participants will learn to create and use these virtual models to optimize urban transportation systems. This iteration of DigiTwin4Mobility will have four courses: one in Barcelona, one in Thessaloniki and two in Istanbul.
CARNET, in collaboration with the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), the Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH), AIMSUN, Transcality, UPC School, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Major Development Agency Thessaloniki, and Sabanci University, remains committed to advancing expertise in digital twin technology. This consortium is dedicated to providing top-tier education and coaching, ensuring that professionals in the sector are well-prepared to leverage digital twins for urban mobility applications.
The courses of this edition will take place in the second half of 2026. Interested individuals can find more information and register for the courses through UPC School’s official website. The course will delve deeper into the practical applications of digital twins, offering hands-on training and expert guidance.
Future Prospects and Global Outreach
Recognizing the transformative potential of digital twin technology, the DigiTwin4Mobility consortium plans to continue expanding through Europe. After a third edition in Budapest, this fourth one includes Istanbul for the first time, a city that bridges Europe and Asia. This ambitious scaling will also extend the reach of the course to professionals across different countries, fostering a global network of experts equipped with advanced knowledge in smart mobility solutions. The international expansion aims to amplify the impact of digital twins, driving innovation and efficiency in urban transportation systems worldwide.
Digital twins represent a key advancement in the quest for smarter urban mobility solutions. Through initiatives like DigiTwin4Mobility, professionals in the automotive and mobility sectors are being empowered to harness this technology to its full potential.
