Baiyun studies digital twin city IoT sensing platform construction

Song Xusheng, secretary of Baiyun district's Party committee, led a team to investigate and study the construction of the digital twin city Internet of Things (IoT) sensing platform at the Guiyang bureau of natural resources and planning on April 22.

He requested that the district learns from the bureau and shares the benefits to lay a solid foundation for promoting Baiyun district as a new industry area.

At the symposium, Dai Yi, director of the Guiyang Geographic Information Big Data Center, shared ideas on twin city technology, modeling and energization, as well as the overcoming of technical difficulties and current issues.

The bureau has built a digital twin city IoT sensing platform and a nationally-leading digital twin urban space after nearly seven years of effort in information construction. It aims to develop a national benchmark for intelligent big data application by using digital twin technology in product life-cycle management.

The platform used the Guiyang government office block, the office building of the Guiyang bureau of natural resources and planning, and part of the Financial City to develop a pilot application for the digital twin city system.

Intelligent infrastructure was arranged inside and surrounding the pilot buildings, using technologies such as geographic information systems, building information modeling and IoT to integrate collected data with existing 3D virtual city system simulations.

Via the IoT devices' real-time access to monitoring data, the information flow of the area's entire building cycle, and the rapid simulation of dynamic changes in the built environment, the platform became a total element digital spatial map reflecting real-time updates of people, events and objects.
