Development of an Intelligent Transport System using Digital Twin (DG Twin) Technologies
Policy Axis 2:
Rapid Transition to a Green Economy
Total Public Expenditure::
€4.000.000
Project Summary:
The project concerns the development and implementation of an advanced digital and computational infrastructure for Cyprus’ Digital Twin (DG Twin). The DG Twin is a digital replica that simulates a real object, space, process, or system. The project will focus on the following:
- Creation of the CYPRUS ITS.
- Digital Geo-Referenced Transformation of Transport Networks and related Infrastructure.
- Development of advanced analysis and prediction capabilities based on modelling, simulation, and AI methods and tools (Business Analytics & Machine Learning).
- Comprehensive network coverage with sensors, communication interfaces (with vehicles, infrastructures, and users), and information storage, processing, and management centres.

2. Priority Projects for the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans(SUMP) of Limassol and Larnaca
Policy Axis 2:
Rapid Transition to a Green Economy
Total Public Expenditure:
€26.500.000
Project Summary:
The project involves the redesign of the main city axes of Limassol and Larnaca into SUMP priority corridors, aiming to connect the local cores of each city. The selected routes complete the sustainable mobility network, along which the early winner projects of the SUMPs — under the Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works (MTCW) — will be implemented. The works include the construction of cycling infrastructure such as bike paths, bike lanes, and cycle corridors, along with the creation of bicycle parking facilities. The project also foresees the development of Park & Ride stations and dedicated bus lanes to support public transport. In addition, broader interventions are planned to enhance sustainable mobility and improve road safety across the network.

3. Collaboration between Citizens and Public Services through the FixCyprus Application and Management Platform
FixCyprus – For a safer tomorrow, fix it today
The FixCyprus app and management platform were developed to facilitate collaboration between citizens and public authorities for the immediate maintenance and repair of road infrastructure across Cyprus.
The project was implemented by the Public Works Department του Transport, Communications and Works, in collaboration with the KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence at the University of Cyprus, as part of ongoing efforts to improve road safety and infrastructure quality..
How the app works
Through the FixCyprus mobile app, citizens can easily report:
- Road surface cracks or potholes
- Damages or obstacles on pavements
- Problems with traffic lights or road signs
- Issues affecting visibility and safety
Each report includes photos, comments, and precise geolocation, and is automatically forwarded to the responsible District Office of the Public Works Department.
The Department evaluates the issue, initiates repairs, or forwards it to other relevant bodies (e.g., municipalities, communities, EAC, Water Boards, Sewerage Boards, Telecommunications Providers).
Citizens can also track the progress of their reports via the app’s history feature.
Benefits
The use of FixCyprus has significantly improved:
- The speed of problem detection and reporting
- The planning and completion of repairs
- Communication between citizens and public authorities
- Overall road safety
To date, approximately 2,700 reports have been submitted across Cyprus — mainly regarding road cracks, pavement damage, and sign deterioration.
Digital Transformation
The development of FixCyprus is part of a broader project to create a Digital Twin of Cyprus’ road network, an innovative infrastructure contributing to the advancement of intelligent and sustainable transport systems.
The project is co-funded by the Cyprus Recovery and Resilience Facility.
