GAO Case Studies

New York City, NY – Smart Infrastructure Monitoring

NYC adopted Digital Twin Technology to monitor and manage over 100 city bridges. Real-time sensors detect structural strain, helping the city prioritize maintenance and avoid costly failures.

Austin, TX – Traffic Optimization System

Austin integrated a Digital Twin model to simulate traffic patterns and reduce congestion. The system uses AI to adjust traffic lights dynamically, improving commute times by up to 20%.

Toronto, ON – Smart Waste Management

Toronto leveraged digital twin models to optimize waste collection routes. This reduced fuel consumption and increased pickup efficiency while providing real-time status to residents
