Digital Twin

Digital Twin
Den Bosch

An introduction to how 's-Hertogenbosch can use a digital twin to bring together 3D city context, city data, and applied research for planning, mobility, and the living environment.

Project focus Built around the Innovation Quarter Den Bosch context, with contributions from JADS, DataTwinLabs, and local public data sources.

"A digital twin demonstrator bridging 3D geospatial data, live sensors, and city registries to make civic planning transparent and interactive—built on an extendable architecture that is easily adaptable for businesses and commercial applications."

About the project

Bridging data and urban design

This site provides the technical context behind the digital twin, outlining its core data sources and the partners driving the project before you enter the live 3D environment.

Data

Data sources

The public website should show where the twin gets its authority from. That means making the data foundations visible without turning the page into a technical specification.

City ’s-Hertogenbosch open data and geo-information

Open city datasets, maps, heritage references, and local statistics provide official civic context for the Den Bosch environment.

National spatial data PDOK, 3D BAG, Kadaster, CBS

The twin uses Dutch spatial and statistical datasets to show buildings, neighborhoods, and broader geospatial structure.

Operational inputs Traffic, weather, air quality, and environment

Live and recent feeds help the platform explain changing conditions, especially around mobility, air, and weather-sensitive urban activity.

Research context JADS and the LOKET project story

JADS frames the work within a broader effort toward smarter, greener urban construction logistics and applied decision support.
