  • Abstract

    Smart infrastructure increasingly requires predictive maintenance to improve asset reliability and reduce operational risks. AI-powered Digital Twins integrate IoT, cloud computing, big data, and machine learning to enable real-time monitoring, anomaly detection, asset health assessment, and failure prediction. This paper reviews their architecture, enabling technologies, applications, current research trends, and key challenges, including data quality, interoperability, cybersecurity, and explainability. The study highlights that AI-driven Digital Twins significantly improve maintenance efficiency, reduce costs, enhance safety, and support sustainable, intelligent infrastructure management.
