From Situational Awareness to Situational Intelligence: The Digital Twin for Transit Decision-Making

Transit agencies already have vast amounts of information about their infrastructure, but it’s contained in various data silos. Asset management systems provide maintenance history and condition. Security systems detect and document incidents. Spatial (GIS) systems understand location and network relationships. Operations systems understand service status.  

This webinar explores the digital twin as the connective layer – the single point of truth – between the physical transit network and the systems used to operate, secure and maintain it.

We’ll examine how combining spatial relationships, physical security information, asset history and condition and current operational status can transform incident response and everyday decision-making.

A security event, for example, can immediately be viewed not only by where it occurred, but also by which assets are involved, their maintenance history, what services depend on them, what risks are developing and which response options are available.

By connecting these perspectives, agencies can move from monitoring individual systems toward understanding consequences across the network and making coordinated, context-aware decisions.
