Spanish Railway Official Announces Digital Twins After 115 Deaths: Technology Already Known to Adif

Spanish railway official Óscar Puente has announced the implementation of digital twins for the country's rail network following a series of fatal accidents.

The digital twins will be used to simulate and analyze the behavior of trains and tracks, allowing for more efficient maintenance and improved safety measures.

Adif, the Spanish state-owned railway infrastructure manager, has been familiar with the technology for some time and has been working on implementing it.

The move is seen as a step towards reducing the number of accidents on Spain's rail network, which has been plagued by a series of high-profile incidents in recent years.
