Abstract

Large scale and complex cascading effects make the operations and maintenance (O&M) of urban infrastructure extremely challenging. In order to identify general approaches to digital twin (DT) modelling and its applications, this review investigates 226 relevant publications as the main database. Using a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, the database was qualitatively assessed through iterative refinements of keywords, titles, abstracts, and full texts. General procedures for DT modelling in buildings and infrastructure at different scales were summarized through quantitative analysis. To examine cascading effects in urban infrastructure O&M, DT applications were categorized into daily and abnormal scenarios and analyzed separately. Special cases, such as disasters and external disturbances, were also explored using automatic modelling and ontology fusion techniques. Finally, future research directions for DT applications in urban infrastructure are summarized to guide further development in this field.

数字孪生模型方法及其在城市基础设施运营和维护中的应用

大规模和复杂的级联效应使得城市基础设施的运营和维护（O&；M）极具挑战性。为了确定数字孪生（DT）建模及其应用的一般方法，本综述调查了226个相关出版物作为主要数据库。采用系统文献综述（SLR）方法，通过对关键词、标题、摘要和全文进行迭代改进，对数据库进行定性评估。通过定量分析，总结了不同尺度下建筑物和基础设施DT建模的一般步骤。为了检验城市基础设施运营管理中的级联效应，将DT应用分为日常场景和异常场景，并分别进行分析。此外，还利用自动建模和本体融合技术探讨了灾害和外部干扰等特殊情况。最后，总结了数据挖掘在城市基础设施领域应用的未来研究方向，以指导该领域的进一步发展。
