The Asian Development Bank (ADB)’s Digital Twin Framework is a practical guide designed to support ADB and its developing member countries (DMCs) in leveraging digital twin technologies to improve infrastructure planning, design, operations, and resilience. Digital twins are high-fidelity, virtual representations of physical assets or systems that mirror their performance and condition using real-time or near-real-time data. The framework demonstrates how digital twins can reduce operational costs, enhance climate resilience, and support data-driven decision-making across various sectors such as energy, transport, health, and urban development. The guide also serves as a toolkit to help stakeholders assess, develop, and apply digital twin solutions aligned with global standards and best practices.
