Simulating the Future: The Role of Digital Twins in Transportation Planning Q&A with Dr. Anu Kuncheria

Digital twins—virtual models that simulate real-world city dynamics—are transforming urban transportation and mobility planning. These intelligent systems integrate real-time data, machine learning (ML) algorithms, and transportation research to optimize citywide solutions. By simulating traffic patterns, travel demand, and road dynamics, cities can make informed, equitable decisions that benefit all residents. Yet, critical questions arise as urban areas embrace these artificial intelligence (A

Missing Heritability: Much More Than You Wanted to Know
