Applied System Innovation, Volume 5, Issue 4

2022 August - 28 articles

Cover Story: A newly introduced term in the field of simulating an artificial or physical system is that of the “Digital Twin”. Its modus operandi consists of a digital representation and modeling method, capable of expanding and improving the life cycle of complex items, systems, and processes. Being a key research field worldwide, it is utilized in the automotive industry, a technological field that has great implications in users’ everyday lives. Digital twin technology not only has the potential to contribute from the initial stages of design until the final construction stages of vehicles, but also during its use. It is worth noting that the vehicles that can greatly benefit from the use of digital twins are electric vehicles, which are predicted to acquire greater shares in the following decade.
