Abstract

With the continuous development of digital technology, urban management and urban construction have undergone tremendous changes, exerting a profound impact on people’s lives. As a vital component of cities, urban road infrastructure is closely related to the daily lives of citizens. The application of digital twin technology can provide more support for the full lifecycle operation and maintenance management of urban road infrastructure, effectively improving the quality and efficiency of operation and maintenance management, ensuring the effectiveness of urban road infrastructure, and building a higher-quality urban life. Based on urban road infrastructure, this paper analyzes the application value of digital twin technology, proposes strategies for full lifecycle operation and maintenance management, and offers more references for urban construction.
