Digital Twin Simulation

We have produced a 3d model of Syracuse.

Comment

Inspiration

We previously worked at a company whose mission is to produce a realistic digital twin of the entire earth. We used our experience to create a program that creates simplified digital twins of cities based on available GIS data.

What it does

Our digital twin of Syracuse contains roads, sidewalks, parking lots, bodies of water, buildings, and trees. It could be used to simulate cars, airplanes, drones, pedestrians, or trains.

How we built it

We used Python to create the mesh and Unity to create the simulation program.

Data Sources

Syracuse City Tree Dataset OSM Buildings OSM Water OSM Railways Manually-annotated road polygons Manually-annotated sidewalk polygons Manually-annotated parking lots Manually-annotated baseball fields

Challenges we ran into

There was not a dataset for road and sidewalk polygons. We had to manually annotate them in GIS software.
