This article discusses the methodology of the Metaverse in the context of the use of digital twins for data analysis in two environments based on a mathematical model of the agglomeration transport network using breakthrough technologies. By connecting physical elements related to transport with virtual elements, the Metaverse allows you to simulate a transport network taking into account different performance criteria with alternative changes in the movements of people and all objects of the road network. The article analyzes the completeness of data on datasets from the digital twin of the agglomeration transport network using the algorithm for finding the shortest path between graph points in the classical sense and testing this hypothesis based on the Student's criterion to obtain the missing complete data through the integration of the digital twin and the Metaverse. One of the limitations of the proposed methodology is computational complexity. This limitation can be eliminated by choosing the R language and the Metaverse implementation software that would have the modules presented in this article. Another limitation of the proposed methodology is the inability to adequately take into account the completeness of the information. Thanks to digital technologies and the adoption of new data concepts based on digital tools, the future of mobility will be hyper automatized, more efficient, reliable and sustainable. Well-known manufacturers and developers use digital doubles to optimize the industry with the help of virtual productions, virtual prototypes for car designs, as well as modeling and testing of technical objects of the transport industry. All vehicles will be hyper-connected to digital platforms and smart devices to configure and exchange data based on transit operations to ensure uninterrupted and continuous operation in the agglomeration. Transport system planning can be carried out virtually in a hyper transport system and quickly respond to changing transport needs or problems. The Metaverse platform embedded in the digital twin should be used to plan the intelligent infrastructure of the system, which will solve the problems of the physical world with elements of a ready-made solution for future design work in the field of traffic management based on the data presented, without taking into account time or other costs. Today it is important to focus on the long-term, most sustainable and most significant areas that can be affected by Metaverse technologies.
