Breathing Cities: A Living Model of People and Place

这个项目的愿景是在名称：呼吸的城市。“_新冠肺炎封锁导致了更清洁的空气，但从长远来看，对解决空气污染问题几乎没有帮助_世界领导人现在有机会规划一个不同的，更清洁的未来_”[1]。Slingshot Simulations计划利用该项目帮助市议会不仅提高其对交通流量和重返工作岗位的人们的适应能力，还帮助他们找到积极影响人们在城市工作和生活的可持续方法。我们的使命将是利用我们作为一个社会所拥有的数据，并通过我们的模拟即服务平台最大限度地发挥其潜力，以鼓励更健康，呼吸城市走出新冠肺炎。我们的主要目标是支持市议会的影响，并作为一个结果，交通和人流，因为我们返回工作后，大流行。通过使用现有数据进行预测，然后迭代地实时更新这些预测，我们希望通过从多个环境和经济角度向议会提供大流行形势的信息，从而帮助他们监测事态发展并以灵活的方式调整策略，从而为议会提供支持。重点将是努力显著加快我们与利兹市理事会的现有合作伙伴关系，以找到解决方案，交通（包括快递和送货）和人，特别是在新冠肺炎疫情之后，交通和市民将如何在城市中移动，目的是让议会查看所有可能的交通和人流“假设”情景，并相应地进行规划。例如，帮助他们制定清洁空气区战略\[2\]，该战略将于2020年中期实施，可能会对当地业务产生进一步影响，特别是快递和交付系统。我们真正原创的仿真即服务平台是在利兹大学经过七年的研发开发而成的：* 它实时运行，允许企业和组织立即采取行动 * 它可以在几天内产生结果，而不是几个月内使用流程图 * 最重要的是，它使用了“无编码”这种全新的交互式预测、多目标优化和“假设”分析方法可能会导致世界第一：一个真实的“数字孪生”。1.

The vision for this project is in the name: Breathing Cities. "_The Covid-19 lockdown has led to cleaner air but will do little to address the issue of air pollution in the long run_ \[and\] _world leaders now have a chance to plot a different, cleaner future_" \[1\]. Slingshot Simulations plans to use this project to help city councils to not only develop their resilience to the influx of traffic and people returning to work but help them find sustainable methods of positively impacting people working and living in cities. Our mission would be to use the data we have as a society and maximizing its potential through our Simulation-as-a-service platform to encourage healthier, breathing cities coming out of Covid-19\.Our main objective is to brace city councils for the impact on, and as a result of, the traffic and people flow as we return to work following the pandemic. By using existing data to forecast and then iteratively, in real-time, update those forecasts, we want to support councils by informing them of the Pandemic situation from multiple environmental and economic angles thus helping them monitor developments and adapt their strategies in an agile manner.The focus will be on working to significantly accelerate our existing partnership with Leeds City Council to find solutions surrounding, transport (including couriers and delivery) and people, specifically how transport and citizens will move around the city following the wake of Covid-19 with the aim for councils to view all possible "what-if" scenarios of traffic and people flows and plan accordingly. For example, helping them with their Clean Air Zone Strategy \[2\], which is due to be enforced from mid-2020 and could have a further impact on local business, particularly couriers and delivery systems.Our truly original Simulation-as-a-Service platform, has been developed over seven years of R&D at the University of Leeds:* It runs in real-time, allowing businesses and organisations to act immediately* It can produce results within days not months using just flowcharts* And most importantly it uses a "no-coding" approach that both accelerates and democratises the benefits of high-end simulation for businesses big and small.This fresh approach of interactive forecasting, multi-objective optimisations, and "what-if" analysis could lead to a world first: A real "Digital Twin".1.

This project also has the potential to completely revolutionise the Digital Twin market landscape.
