Development of an Intelligent Digital Twins Framework for Secure Container Terminal Operations

This paper aims to analyze the operations performed at the container terminal and to propose a new digital twin (DT)-based framework increasing the level of safety and security. This paper discusses the physical space as well as demonstrates the capabilities of the virtual framework from the cyber-physical security point of view. The main contribution of this paper is the demonstration of the dynamics of both, the physical and the virtual systems from a qualitative perspective.
