“…The introduction of DT for tunnels represents an enhancement over traditional digital model representations. Furthermore, Doubell et al in [14] leveraged DT to meet the evolving requirements of railway infrastructure data management. Nonetheless, this survey focuses on examining the ongoing advancements and trends in adopting technologies within the DTR framework, aiming to identify the inherent challenges and gaps.…”

Digital transformation has been prioritized in the railway industry to bring automation to railway operations. Digital Twin (DT) technology has recently gained attention in the railway industry to fulfill this goal. Contemporary researchers argue that DT can be advantageous in Railway manufacturing logistics to planning and scheduling. Although underlying technologies of DT, e.g., modelling, computer vision, and the Internet of Things, have been studied for various railway industry applications, the DT has been least explored in the context of railways. Thus, in this paper, we aim to understand the state-of-the-art of DT for railway (DTR), for advanced railway systems. Besides, this survey clarifies how DT can serve the railway twin system designers and developers. As DTR is still in its early adoption stage, there is hardly any clear direction to identify the technologies for specific DTR applications. Therefore, based on our findings we present a taxonomy for DTR for designers and developers. Finally, we describe potential challenges, pitfalls, and opportunities in DTR for future researchers.

“…Creation of conditions for the development of transport and logistics activities and competitive ZRL-5RL providers. This concept corresponds to the modern directions of development of transport systems based on the analysis of global trends (Granström et al, 2022;Doubell et al, 2021;Strelko et al, 2019): -Formation of new concepts and technologies for the movement of goods and passengers (high-speed rail, magnetic levitation transport, hyperloop etc. ); -"Uberization" of the passenger and cargo transport market (when, thanks to the use of IT platforms (mobile applications), direct interaction between consumers and service providers is carried out); -Development of unmanned (autonomous) vehicles; -Development of electric transport technologies; -Development of intelligent transport technologies, in particular intelligent traffic and safety management systems; -Development of multimodal integration of transportation by various types of transport in regional, interregional and international connections, creation of large multimodal centres (hubs).…”
