CAA research team at Carleton University in Ottawa has developed a digital twin platform for Canada, aiming to create a comprehensive virtual representation of the country's built environment and related data. This platform allows users to integrate various types of data—such as sensor readings, imagery, environmental metrics, and census information—with building and planning projects. The initiative, led by Dr. Stephen Fai, includes open-source software and a not-for-profit organization called Collab Digital Twins to promote adoption. The concept aligns with global trends in using digital tools to enhance urban planning and infrastructure management, moving away from traditional paper-based methods to advanced 3D modeling and data integration.
