A/RporTWIN: FIWARE powered AR tool created for airport operations

A/RporTWIN is the next digital twin powered by the FIWARE platform concerning the management of various infrastructures. Designed from the ground up, it provides a powerful data visualization and analytical tool to be used by managers and operators of various mobility systems (airports, seaports, roads, railways, etc). It not only allows the user to visualize the infrastructure itself but it also integrates data from different sources and derived insights that are useful during day-to-day operations. It supports standard 2D visualization tools as well as proofs compatible with Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) equipment, depending on the selected use case. A/RporTWIN is based on well-established open standards: Web 3D and WebVR standards enabling high-quality model representations on-demand, and NGSI for integration of the different modules as well as for digital twin data management. Current digital-twin platforms are based on proprietary software which is very limited in relation to Augmented Reality or Virtual Reality capabilities. Moreover, these proprietary software solutions are unable to be extended with new functions. However, A/RporTWIN relies on standard-based Open Source technologies and Open Data Models bringing a unified platform for the management of complex infrastructures based on the management of context/ Digital Twin data.
