THREE-PASS APPROACH:

PASS 1:

Main Goal of this Pass: Get/Understand the big picture (What is the story about?)

Focus on Title and Abstract, Glance at the sub-headings, pictures - charts, headings, To get - a feel of what is inside the paper.

Ask yourself: What are the scientists/authors (will use interchangeably) trying to find out (discover, achieve)? This helps to figure out the main idea behind the story.

How to take Notes:

• write a quick sentence (and highlight it) ****about the paper’s main idea from the abstract.
• Take screenshots of cool pictures, figures, charts and note what they show (headings).

Title: Study on Digital Twin Computing for Predicting General Road Traffic Volume

Main Idea (from Abstract) - This paper is about a study on digital twin, focusing on transportation and traffic control, proposing a method to build a digital twin by collecting and inputting small amounts of data, and supplementing them with machine learning.

Keywords - Digital Twin, Transportation, Traffic Flow Control

Figures/Pictures:

Figure 1 - Diagram of the proposed transportation digital twin configuration built on an LPWA network
