Creating a digital twin of a train station using drones and LiDAR technology. 10:51

Remco discusses creating a digital twin of a large train station in Holland using drones and software, with 2 million passengers passing through daily.

Remco explains how they used drones and LiDAR technology to create a 3D model of an office building.

Robbrecht defines digital twin as a physical model of a building or asset with actual location of assets and their data.

Digital twin technology for railway station maintenance. 17:40

Station manager uses digital twin to monitor building systems and optimize operations.

Station manager gained visibility into escalator/elevator issues, prioritized repairs to improve accessibility for passengers with disabilities.

Complicated ownership and responsibility of assets in railway organization, with different companies and stakeholders involved.

Digital twin technology in asset management. 23:41

MacKenzie and Remco discuss challenges in implementing digital twin technology, including resistance from maintenance personnel.

Organization needs to work together to make innovative ideas a reliable and trustworthy productive system.

Robbrecht: Real value of digital twin is better maintenance and faster response to disturbances.

Optimizing rail station operations using data analytics. 30:33

Combining data from multiple assets can optimize energy use, reduce carbon footprint, and improve efficiency in a publicly-held company.

Remco predicts more cases of passengers being stranded at platforms due to elevator and escalator issues, and seeks to add more sensors for safety and AI-powered solutions.

Robbrecht suggests using sensors to detect and respond to crowd cheering or gunshots in train stations to help first responders locate emergencies more quickly.

Scott MacKenzie adds that the model can also detect slow degradation in train stations, such as water leakage in basements, and simulate the impact of design changes on passenger flow and stress on escalators.
