The OpenVT has been established and provides open-source human body models (OS HBMs) of both an average female and male, seated and standing, as well as a seat, generic vehicle and tram front models.
The tool chain from virtual to physical testing has been illustrated in the low severity impact case where the seat evaluation tool was developed. The newly established organisation OVTO now the OpenVT platform and hosts the results of the VIRTUAL project (since its completion).

R&D, Technology and Innovation aspects
The OpentVT platform: a combined collaboration and dissemination platform, where the project results will remain available after the project duration. This aspect has been proven challenging in many publicly funded projects.
The not-for-profit organisation OVTO took over the project results, runs the OpenVT platform and safeguards sustainable development of the VIVA+ HBMs (see below) and other content developed within VIRTUAL.
