Here are the main links for results and information (Use 7zip to extract the 7z archives):

• Executable (windows 64) of the PIPER software to position and personalize human body models. Available under the GPLv2 or later license. The documentation of the tool is in the archive and also online
• The PIPER child model. Available under the GPLv3 +liability and open science clauses. The last public document is a manuscript written for the Conference on the Protection of children in Cars end of 2016. The pdf is available here. There are a few evolutions and we are working on a final publication.
• The source code and other goodies (see below) can be found on the the INRIA Gitlab for PIPER.
• All videos from the final workshop in Paris (talks only, no audience) are available on PIPER youtube channel

Besides the software and the child model, the Git repository also provides some anthropo models (to be used with scalable constraints), a wiki with tutorials and guidelines, vehicle environments (including generic child restraint systems provided by VFSB), etc. It also provides a tracker to report issues and discuss.

PS: We are working on scientific publication for the final results (please be kind to the authors not to rush to publish results obtained with the PIPER tools or models).

Many questions right now are related to the use of the software with commercial models (e.g. Thums, GHBMC). We are currently still discussing with the model owners on the best way to make available the metadata for these.

In the meantime, we cannot provide metadata examples for these models. The manual describes how to create metadata and you can use the files of the child model as an example.
