Implementation of Digital Twin in Vehicular Network Applications
摘要
Intelligent transportation systems (ITSs)Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) areDT applications envisioned to utilize information and communication technologies to enhance road safety and traffic management. Since pedestrians and vehicles are the natural and primary participants in transportation systems, incorporating both entities into real-time decision-making and control processes becomes necessary for ITSs, giving rise to the concept of pedestrians and vehicles in-the-loop [23, 43, 60]. Such an “in-the-loop” scheme requires to continuously collect and process data from various sources, dynamically adjusting traffic operations based on real-time pedestrian-vehicle interactions, with both vehicles and pedestrians acting as active participants and decision-makers in the traffic management process.
