7/23/24, 11:15 AM Changing Tracks: How Digital Twins Can Sustain Rail Infrastructure
The adverse impacts of climate change on our transportation systems—from dried-up

rivers and canal beds, to destabilized roads as a result of historic flooding, to storm-
damaged ports and coastal cities—require us to make drastic and immediate changes to

the ways we move people and goods across Europe. In this respect, our economic and

environmental goals are powerfully aligned, and more urgent than ever.

But technology is on our side. Emerging infrastructure digital twin capabilities can help
modernize and transform rail networks that are badly in need of refurbishment and enable

us to build different and better infrastructure in the future. State-of-the-art, sustainable

infrastructure can help us to meet the complex needs of our increasingly globalized era

and improve our quality of life to the greatest extent possible.
