The issue includes IBV work with JARI in order to use Digital Human Models to study the ergonomics of the seated posture in the automotive sector. 

Instituto de Biomecánica (IBV) has come up with the initial approach to develop three-dimensional digital human models in an automotive-seated posture in the framework of a larger project sponsored by Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI) in Japan. The objective of this project was to carry out research into injury biomechanics of whiplash associated disorders in women, by developing, validating, and using finite element (FE) human body models (HBM).
