| Abstract: | This study attempts to develop a fully operational digital twin architecture for aiding in the decision-making process of stakeholders for flood hazard management. Digital twin technology offers a solution by allowing for the testing of policies or mitigative measures before real-world implementation, thus saving resources and time while empowering policymakers to make data-based decisions. For the design and development of the DT Architecture, a survey was conducted, and 34 responses were recorded. Incorporating the insights gathered from the survey and extensive literature review on Digital Twin technology, Flood modelling and Web development, the development process of the DT framework was envisioned. For creating a DT with flood simulation and analysis capabilities, the web development approach was carried out to bring together the digital 3D representation of physical assets and a web-based flood simulation tool, Fastflood App. The application uses datasets from Open Street Maps for building data, Digital Elevation Model (DEM) and other open-source basemap providers for basemap data. Programming languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python were employed for development. Additionally, the application allows the stakeholders to identify flood prone buildings, enabling them to make informed decisions for real-world applications. |
