Digital twin expectation — microsimulation, generative AI, or existing platform integration?
For the digital twin piece — are you thinking more along the lines of physics-based microsimulation (Aimsun, SUMO, Vissim), or a generative AI model trained on real corridor traces? And is the program open to building on top of an existing digital-twin platform, or would you rather see something built from scratch?

A proposal utilizing a generative AI model trained on real-world data could align with the FCPI stated objectives. However, the solicitation is designed to avoid being overly prescriptive or showing a technology preference. An offeror should recommend a proposed approach they deem appropriate. Regarding the digital twin platform, there is no requirement to build a new system from scratch. The project emphasizes interoperability and compatibility with existing public and private-sector data and decision-support systems. Leveraging or building on top of an existing digital-twin platform is an acceptable approach, provided the solution meets the core requirement to eventually provide a cloud-hosted, web-accessible decision-support dashboard that is compatible with commonly enterprise platforms.
