The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 25th that, as a result of the '2nd Digital Twin Pilot Project Contest' conducted nationwide targeting local governments from June 24 to May 25, seven local governments including Seocho-gu in Seoul and Cheongju-si were finally selected as project sites. The other local governments are Chungcheongnam-do, Ulsan Metropolitan City, Sokcho-si, Chuncheon-si, and Yeonggwang-gun.

Digital twin refers to a technology that replicates real objects identically in a virtual world as three-dimensional models, and supports various decision-making by applying analysis, prediction, and optimization based on simulation.

The digital twin pilot project being implemented this time is a project carried out to discover and test innovative ideas that can effectively solve various urban problems such as transportation and environment using digital twin technology. This is the second time it has been implemented following last year.

The seven local governments finally selected for the pilot project will each receive 700 million KRW in national funding, with a total scale of 1.4 billion KRW including local funds (local funds matched 5:5) for the project.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport plans to thoroughly manage the schedule to ensure the successful implementation of the pilot project, and together with the Korea Land and Geospatial Informatix Corporation, designated as the dedicated agency for the pilot project, will provide administrative and technical support to the selected local governments.

Kang Ju-yeop, Director of Land Information Policy at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said, "Through this pilot project, we will make it an opportunity to demonstrate the potential for digital twin to be effectively utilized in various administrative fields such as transportation and environment."
