The construction of smart cities is in full swing, and major cities around the world are seizing new opportunities for digital development, promoting the deep integration of digital technology and the real economy. Among them, digital twins, as a key technology, have become one of the core driving forces for urban transformation.
Recently, the first "Digital Twin Strategy Cooperation Special Group" in the industry was established in Shanghai, aiming to accelerate the construction of a smart transportation digital twin industry ecosystem in the Pan Yangtze River Delta region, and jointly explore the application and value of digital twin technology in urban, transportation and other fields.
This special group was jointly initiated by the Shanghai Intelligent Transportation System Industry Alliance, which includes six units: Shanghai Urban Construction Digital Industry Group Co., Ltd., Shanghai Municipal Engineering Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd. Digital Institute, Shanghai Urban Construction Design and Research Institute Co., Ltd. Smart City Institute, Shanghai Dianke Intelligent Systems Co., Ltd., Shanghai Intelligent Transportation Co., Ltd., and Tencent Cloud. The first batch invited eight strategic partners to join.
At present, the development level of Shanghai's digital economy is steadily among the top in China, and it is explicitly stated that by the end of 2025, Shanghai will continue to grow in the new digital track and new momentum, concentrate on breaking through a number of key technologies in key areas such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, and big data, significantly increase the activity of digital economy enterprises, and accelerate the construction of an international digital capital with world influence.

Digital twin technology will play a key role in data acquisition, real-time simulation, and other fields in the transportation sector.
