Abstract	The Modena Automotive Smart Area (MASA) is a cutting-edge testing environment featuring a variety of dynamic physical assets, including smart cameras, roadside units, and connected vehicles. These assets support numerous digital applications, ranging from real-time safety systems to mobility intelligence and 3D visualization of the MASA area. However, the complexity of the physical environment and the diverse needs of these digital applications necessitate a decoupling strategy to ensure efficient operation. This paper presents the design of the MASA Digital Twin, detailing its hierarchical structure, the associated design challenges, and the technological approaches used in its implementation. The MASA Digital Twin serves as a crucial tool for managing the interplay between physical and digital elements, enabling a more structured and adaptable approach to connected mobility and smart city applications. © 2025 IEEE.
