Ambition

The OpenVT Organisation is a politically independent non-profit association. Our ambition is to host open source projects related to virtual testing and biomechanics on the OpenVT platform, created within the Horizon 2020 VIRTUAL project, maintaining them and ensuring the sustainable evolution in the future, whilst providing user support.

OVTO promotes and supports research related to virtual testing and computer modelling in biomechanics and traffic safety to achieve vision zero for all road users. Low level access, open access.


Societal impact

Virtual Testing (VT) has the potential to optimise adaptive safety systems and reduce female injuries by closing the optimisation-gap between female and male drivers. The H2020 VIRTUAL project considered societal trends such as urbanisation by focusing on specific test cases from an urban environment such as public transport or Vulnerable Road Users (VRU).


Objectives

Objectives of The OpenVT Organisation (OVTO) are:

  • Run and own the OpenVT platform and the associated domain openvt.eu.

  • Provide OpenVT as an open platform for virtual testing (VT) in road safety and injury biomechanics in general.

  • Own the copyrights of open source projects related to VT and biomechanics.

  • Host open source projects related to VT and biomechanics on the OpenVT platform, maintain them and ensure the sustainable evolution in the future, provide user support.

  • Promote and support research related to virtual testing and computer modelling in biomechanics and traffic safety.
