en.Wedoany.com Reported - Rome, Italy, has launched a Digital Twin project for urban trees, aiming to remotely monitor tree stability through high-precision virtual models and prevent collapses caused by extreme weather. Mayor Gualtieri introduced this new technology, whose core is a scanning device equipped with artificial intelligence, capable of generating precise digital copies of trees, thereby enabling real-time risk assessment and early warnings.

The direct impetus for this project is the frequent tree collapses in Rome, which are particularly deadly during extreme weather events such as floods and strong winds exceeding 170 km/h. Through digital twin technology, relevant authorities can remotely assess tree stability, allowing them to proactively close at-risk roads or schedule targeted pruning operations.

The device that creates the digital twin consists of three main components: six ultra-high-resolution cameras (72,000 megapixels every 5 meters), two laser scanners (detecting 3.2 million points per second), and a GPS system for positioning. In a video, Gualtieri stated that currently, only three such devices exist in Europe.

The project will cover 83,500 trees, including those on main streets, roads with significant greenery, as well as trees in parks and historic villas. All collected data will be aggregated on the digital platform GreenSpaces, which is the daily work system used by technicians and gardeners for urban green space management.
