NHK WORLD-JAPAN recently uploaded a video titled “Digital Twin – BOSAI: Science that Can Save Your Life,” focusing on the innovative use of digital twin technology in disaster prevention and mitigation. The video highlights how this technology creates virtual replicas of physical entities, enabling scientists and engineers to analyze and predict the outcomes of natural disasters, thereby enhancing preparedness and reducing potential damage. It showcases the application of digital twin technology in various scenarios, emphasizing its significance in advancing BOSAI, or disaster prevention efforts, to protect lives and properties.
- Digital twin technology involves creating virtual models of physical environments to simulate and analyze real-world scenarios.
- The technology is applied in disaster prevention (BOSAI) to predict the impacts of natural calamities such as earthquakes, tsunamis, and typhoons.
- It enables scientists and engineers to visualize and test the resilience of buildings, infrastructure, and entire cities against potential disasters.
- Through simulations, digital twins can help in planning evacuation routes and strategies, thus saving lives.
- The enhanced predictive capability provided by digital twin technology allows for better preparedness and more effective disaster response strategies.
