In smart cities, information and communication technologies are integrated to exchange real-time data between citizens, governments, and organizations. Blockchain provides security for communication and transactions between multiple stakeholders. Digital twin refers to a simulation of physical products in a virtual space. This simulation fully utilizes the physical models, wireless sensor networks, and historical data of city operation to integrate big information (digital twin cities) under multidiscipline, multiphysical quantities, multiscale, and multiprobability. Digital Twin, Blockchain, and Sensor Networks in the Healthy and Mobile City explores how digital twins and blockchain can be used in smart cities. Part 1 deals with their promising applications for healthy cities. Part 2 covers other promising applications and current perspectives of blockchain and digital twins for future smart society and smart city mobility. Together with its companion volume, Digital Twin and Blockchain for Sensor Networks in Smart Cities, this book helps to understand the vast amount of data around the city to encourage happy, healthy, safe, and productive lives.
This book investigates the integration of digital twin technology, blockchain, and sensor networks to enhance the health and mobility within urban environments. The author, Tuan Anh Nguyen, explores how these interconnected technologies can revolutionize smart cities by enabling real-time data exchange between citizens, governments, and organizations, ensuring secure communication and transactions through blockchain. The work details the concept of digital twins as virtual simulations of physical city operations, leveraging sensor networks and historical data to create comprehensive urban models. It aims to provide a framework for understanding and utilizing the vast amounts of urban data to foster happier, healthier, safer, and more productive lives.
The book is positioned as a technical exploration of emerging technologies within the context of urban development. Its structure, divided into applications for healthy cities and broader smart society/mobility perspectives, suggests a comprehensive approach to the subject matter. The inclusion of a companion volume indicates a commitment to a detailed, multi-faceted examination of these complex systems. The overall framing points to a text intended for professionals and researchers engaged with the future of urban technology and planning.
