| Abstract | To keep up with demand, the rapidly expanding smart city market requires innovative technology that can make city infrastructure more efficient, transparent, and safe. In order to provide a solid foundation for the administration and optimization of smart city systems, this paper will suggest using blockchain and digital twin (DT) technologies. Virtual copies of physical objects called “digital twins” provide real-time monitoring, analysis, and management of urban assets. Distributed and immutable ledger technology, blockchain ensures data integrity, security, and transparency. Data silos, security holes, and trust issues are some of the major challenges in smart city management that the proposed framework aims to address by integrating different technologies. This statement outlines a number of difficulties. Create digital twins of buildings, transportation networks, and utility networks as a first step in the integration process. These digital twins are constantly updating their data sets with information gathered from sensors, IoT devices, and other sources so they can provide a comprehensive view of the city’s operational status. The next step is to employ blockchain technology to decentralize and secure the storage of digital twin data, making it impossible for unauthorized parties to access, alter, or damage the data. Smart contracts, which are executable codes stored on the blockchain, may automate and streamline processes inside the smart city ecosystem. Among the many advantages of this integrated approach are improved transparency in smart city operations, more security, and more accurate data. Blockchain’s distributed ledger technology ensures that no one party has exclusive control over the data it stores, which fosters confidence and collaboration among all parties involved. The Blockchain Foundation is responsible for creating the blockchain. Smart contracts also allow for the automation of decision making and resource distribution based on rules and conditions that have already been defined. In this chapter, we will discuss the potential benefits, drawbacks, and practical concerns of implementing the suggested integration. Furthermore, it delves into potential use cases that might be realized via the integration of digital twin and blockchain technology. The optimization of energy use, traffic management, and emergency response systems are all instances of such use cases. Ultimately, the research adds to the ongoing conversation about building sustainable smart cities by using the merging of blockchain and digital twin technology. © 2024 Scrivener Publishing LLC. |
