TASMU Platform showcased the digital twin, one of its leading capabilities, that aims to accelerate the Smart Qatar vision and eventually create a digital twin of Qatar itself, during Smart City Expo Doha 2022, organised by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) recently.
TASMU Platform acts as the heart of TASMU Smart Qatar Programme, one of the pioneering national projects initiated by MCIT. The platform facilitates cross-sector collaboration and data sharing across all sectors, with a current strategic focus on transport, logistics, environment, healthcare and sports, while ensuring privacy and security.
TASMU Platform digital twin allows for public and private sectors to bridge the digital and physical worlds through data. Leveraging historical and real-time data, organisations can create a virtual representation of real-world physical systems, like places, business processes and people.
Leveraging such advanced technology, TASMU Platform will simplify the country’s smart services through acting as the operational digital twin of Qatar.
TASMU Platform will achieve this by collecting, correlating, predicting and simulating accurate future scenarios that allow for better real-time decision making across nationwide services to deliver a seamless, end-to-end experience for citizens, residents and visitors.
First to leverage
Mowasalat (Karwa), the leading transport service provider, is the first organisation in Qatar to leverage TASMU digital twin capability for its crowd management solution and transport running.
Developed by Ooredoo, Microsoft and Siemens, the analytics-driven real-time crowd management solution is aimed at optimising operations, increasing sustainability and enhancing passenger day-to-day experience in preparation for upcoming mega events and tournaments.
HE Reem Al Mansoori, assistant undersecretary of Digital Society Development at MCIT, said: "Our goal for TASMU Platform is to leverage advanced and intelligent services to evolve the country’s digital ecosystem for all enterprises, startups, entrepreneurs and citizens. The deployment of the digital twin technology capabilities marks a major milestone in our broader strategy to accelerate the adoption of advanced technologies across the country.
"This will help optimise operations, improve environmental sustainability and establish Qatar as an advanced digital hub. By leveraging digital twin technology to develop Mowasalat (Karwa)’s crowd and transportation management solution and deploy it across our entire transportation ecosystem, we made the first step in our journey to building a digital twin of Qatar itself.”
