**Cities and infrastructure managers face a constant challenge:** maintaining up-to-date knowledge of their assets — their condition and location — while limiting costs and field visits.

With a digital twin, these inventories become accessible, complete, and actionable — all without disrupting operations on the ground.

Here’s an overview of everything that can be detected, measured, and inventoried from a digital twin generated by Jakarto.

 

### 🪧 Urban Furniture and Signage: Stay on Track with the Digital Twin

**Introduction**  
Cities are full of small but essential elements: signs, streetlights, benches, charging stations, etc. Their proper placement impacts safety, mobility, and visual harmony. But first, you need to know where they are — and in what condition.

**Content**  
With a digital twin captured by Jakarto, you can inventory:

- Traffic and street signs (stop, no entry, directional, speed limit)
- Urban furniture (benches, bins, bollards, bike racks)
- Poles, traffic lights, streetlamps

All data is georeferenced, visualized on a map, exportable to a GIS, and comparable over time for ongoing management.

 

### ⚡ Overhead Networks: See Clearly, Plan Better

**Introduction**  
Overhead electrical and telecom networks require constant attention: clearance, height, and equipment checks are critical.

**Content**  
Thanks to the digital twin, Jakarto can identify:

- Electrical and telecom cables
- Poles and mounted equipment
- Clearances and encroachment zones (trees, buildings)

Measurements are precise, usable, and collected without disrupting operations.

 

### 🌳 Urban Forestry: Mapping the Living Landscape

**Introduction**  
Trees play a key role in urban health and comfort. But managing them effectively requires detailed, up-to-date data that’s hard to collect manually.

**Content**  
The digital twin enables:

- Mapping individual trees (species, diameter, height, condition)
- Canopy analysis and identification of urban heat islands
- Locating optimal planting sites based on space and constraints (networks, buildings)

 

### 🚧 Road Infrastructure: Inventories Down to the Centimeter

**Introduction**  
Road infrastructure requires careful tracking, especially under heavy use. The digital twin makes this task easier and more precise.

**Content**  
Jakarto can extract:

- Pavement markings (lanes, arrows, crosswalks)
- Curbs, guardrails, medians
- Manholes, storm drains, valves
- **Surface cracks detected using LiDAR**

These elements are measured accurately, geolocated, and comparable over time.

 

### 🚦 Intersections: Better Visibility for Better Interventions

**Introduction**  
Intersections are critical points. Their safety and efficiency rely on having detailed, up-to-date information on every component.

**Content**  
The digital twin allows you to inventory:

- Traffic lights, priority signs, pedestrian buttons
- Supporting structures
- Intersection geometry (radii, lanes, clearances)

These insights are vital for reconfiguring, securing, or analyzing an intersection’s performance.

 

### 🛳️ Ports and Airports: Inspect Without Interrupting

**Introduction**  
In sensitive, high-activity zones like ports and airports, physical access is often restricted — yet inspection needs remain high.

**Content**  
The Jakarto digital twin enables:

- Analysis of runways, docks, service roads, fences
- Detection of markings and infrastructure elements
- **Surface crack detection using LiDAR**

Data is captured without disrupting operations or closing off key areas.

 

### 🏢 Buildings and Facades: Understand the Built Environment in Detail

**Introduction**  
Buildings define the urban landscape. Whether for planning, inspection, or regulation, reliable data is essential.

**Content**  
The digital twin allows you to:

- Measure building envelopes (height, footprint, setbacks)
- Identify entrances, stairs, balconies, signage
- Perform volumetric, shadowing, and zoning compliance analyses

 

### 🌐 A Clearer View for Smarter Decisions

The digital twin transforms how cities manage assets, infrastructure, and land. By extracting detailed, georeferenced, remotely viewable inventories, you can:

✅ Reduce the need for field visits  
✅ Accelerate decision-making  
✅ Keep asset databases up to date  
✅ Plan smarter  
✅ Improve safety and resilience

And all this — without disrupting traffic or depending on sporadic manual inspections.
