With support from UTA’s Research Enhancement Program, assistant professor Mahmoud Bayat is developing a digital twin platform to help officials adjust evacuation routes on the fly. The platform could inform future systems across cities, counties, and states for what he calls “truly resilient communities.”
The 18-month comprehensive research study begins this month, and is led by the Arlington Tomorrow Fund with assistance from United Way of Tarrant County, the city of Arlington, and The University of Texas at Arlington.
