This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering Program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $600,000 to The Ohio State University will establish an intellectual foundation for building a real-time crowd-sourced geospatial digital twin (GDT). The project aims to develop novel approaches for enhancing the accuracy and timeliness of geospatial data through the use of crowd-sourced information from mobile devices. Key research thrusts include ensuring data freshness, integrating crowd-sourced data for real-time GDT updates, guaranteeing truthful reporting, and mitigating self-reinforcing bias. The project has the potential to revolutionize how we interact with and understand the physical world, with research findings integrated into university curricula and unique learning opportunities for students, including those from underrepresented groups. This award runs from June 2024 through May 2027.
