This digital twin of Changi Airport Terminals 1 to 4 was created for Changi Airport Group for the purposes of documentation and simulation. The air-side and land-side roads and buildings were re-created through a combination of documented architectural drawings and detailing as well as data collected on site.

PROCESS

The process of digital twinning begins with the creation of an architecturally accurate digital model. After which, back-end systems are integrated into the model and with the input of data, the digital twin is able to simulate and visualize real-time information such as traffic flow and congestion etc. Real-time flight data is integrated for operational monitoring of accidents and incidences, allowing any ground crew to raise reports through a mobile application, which will be reflected live to the monitoring team.

Simulations

With a digital twin, Changi Airport Group architects and planners are able to visualize and simulate large-scale changes virtually, to better determine the effect and cost of implementing such changes before committing to them in real life.

For Changi Airport, we are able to simulate road signages and their visibility for the purposes of executing navigational studies on way-finding around the airport, greatly increasing safety and efficiency during the planning phase.

Operations

The digital twin serves as a platform for multiple discrete sources of data to be integrated and displayed synchronously. Real-time flight data may be incorporated into the system for monitoring, together with traffic information, as well as on-the-ground incidence reports.

The digital twin is geographically synchronized with GPS data, allowing for accurate day lighting simulation, weather simulation and real-time flight and traffic data display.
