Current activities in the first year of the RUDY Node (2025–2026) include:
This activity is developing the reusable and extensible digital platform for maintaining dynamic UDTs, focusing on integrating built infrastructure with its surroundings. Lead RUDY Researchers: Ben Cheng, Ruwini Eridisinghe
Imagine a city where councils, builders, and residents all share a clear, unified view of the data around them.
Urban digital twins have the potential to make this vision a reality: redefining how we plan, build, and manage our urban environments.
The RUDY Node team of Ben Cheng, Toh Yen Pang, Azizur Rahman, and George Wu is actively working to realise this vision.
This activity aims to develop semantic 3D urban mapping capabilities, to underpin a wide range of applications, such as improving the accessibility and planning of outdoor sports facilities. Lead RUDY Researchers: Chayn Sun, Joe Hurley, Melanie Davern
