Atavi is a digital twin of the entire physical infrastructure. Initiating from Kolkata, India, the module exhaustively creates digital assets imbibing the properties of various physical and social constructs and their interactions.
The objective of the system is to emulate various situations and devise energy and resource efficient responses. An example of a such a situation/objective is: 'installation of carbon capture modules in the city to decrease environmental pollution by vehicular traffic'.
