But what if a **digital twin of the city** gave you a complete overview, allowed you to take precise measurements, and document your work — all without going on-site? ### 🔍 **Visualize, Plan, Measure: It All Starts with a Clear View of the Field** The digital twin is a faithful, precise, and measurable representation of the city — available at any time, right from your workstation. Here are a few concrete use cases for public works teams: - **Prepare a work site** by visualizing access points, clearances, obstacles (utility poles, street furniture, trees), and the immediate surroundings. - **Measure excavation volumes**, paving areas, or curb lengths without needing to revisit the site. - **Document the condition of a road or infrastructure** before work begins (360° photos, LiDAR scans, precise measurements). - **Coordinate with other city departments** using a shared visual reference. ### 🛠️ **Different Roles, Complementary Uses** - **Municipal engineer**: assess project feasibility, simulate impacts, produce stronger deliverables. - **Project manager**: monitor project progress, facilitate communication between stakeholders. - **Civil engineering technician**: validate site conditions before dispatching a crew. - **Road inspector**: identify damaged segments, check the status of past interventions. - **Road maintenance supervisor**: prioritize critical areas based on real conditions. - **Site coordinator**: manage logistics smoothly and reduce conflicts between operations. ### ✅ **Key Benefits for Public Works Teams** - **Time savings**: fewer field visits, more efficient planning. - **Reduced errors**: accurate measurements from LiDAR data. - **Improved coordination**: share a common visual environment with other departments (utilities, urban planning, communications). - **Stronger decision-making**: objective data to support budgets and intervention planning. - **Better traceability**: maintain a visual history of streets, work performed, and infrastructure conditions. ### 💬 **Conclusion: A Field Tool — Without Leaving the Office** In a context where every day counts, the digital twin becomes a **virtual extension of the field**, accessible to every team member. It enables faster action, better interdepartmental communication, and fewer surprises. For infrastructure and public works teams, it’s a **practical lever** to plan smarter, manage more effectively, and maintain the city more efficiently. ![avatar](https://www.jakarto.com/hs-fs/hubfs/logo_Jakarto_Noir_EN_JPG.jpg?width=290&name=logo_Jakarto_Noir_EN_JPG.jpg) #### [Jakarto](https://www.jakarto.com/en/blog/author/jakarto) Founded in 2017, Jakarto is a Quebec-based company specializing in the management and exploitation of LiDAR data through its advanced platform. Our mobile mapping units, equipped with LiDAR sensors and 360° imaging, capture the environment with engineering-grade precision to create detailed digital twins. Powered by artificial intelligence, we automate the inventory of urban assets (trees, roads, buildings, signage, etc.), enabling cities and businesses to better manage their territories. With Jakartowns, our interactive web platform, users gain access to a vast ecosystem of geospatial data to analyze, measure, and optimize their operations.
