Researchers at the University of Florida are deploying artificial intelligence and digital twin technology to improve air travel efficiency [1]. The project, funded by the National Science Foundation, creates virtual replicas of airport systems to simulate flight scheduling and passenger flows [1].
By using these digital simulations, the team can identify potential bottlenecks and test solutions without disrupting actual operations [1]. This research aims to reduce global travel delays and make aviation networks more resilient against unexpected changes [1].
