The ADSEAT project is an EU-funded consortium within the EU 7th Framework Programme which started 1 October 2009 and will end 31 March 2013. The focus of ADSEAT is on whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) or whiplash injuries, which are the most commonly reported injuries in motor vehicle crashes.

The overall objective of ADSEAT is to provide guidance on how to evaluate the protective performance of vehicle seat designs aiming to reduce the incidence of Whiplash Associated Disorders. The work concentrates on evaluating the protective performance of seats beneficial to female as well as male motor vehicle occupants.
