    Research Project
    A Digital-Twin Enabled Testbed for Public Safety Communication Technologies

    This project will build a digital-twin enabled testbed with the state of the art user interface/user experience technologies and advanced simulation models to provide a photorealistic virtual reality environment for first responders and emergency managers to engage, experience, and explore the latest sensing and communication technologies. At the center of this project is a digital twin created for the training sites in the Disaster City®, a 52-acre training facility managed by the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) to deliver the full array of skills and techniques needed by today’s emergency response professionals. In addition to serving as a virtual testing and training facility for first responders, the testbed can also function as an open platform for researchers and entrepreneurs worldwide to collaborate with first responders and emergency managers to develop next-generation sensing and communication technologies and devices specialized for public safety usage. We envision the proposed testbed as an attempt towards a systematic plan to fill critical technology gaps identified by stakeholders and to build a public-safety-focused R&D ecosystem with a long-lasting impact.
