The World Health Organization, which aims at improving people’s health all around the world
Objective / insight
About 1.3 million people die in road crashes every year, an average of over 3,000 deaths a day
An additional 20 to 50 million people get injured on the roads each year
Behavorial changes are therefore necessary to make the roads safer
Implemented strategy
To raise awareness about road safety issues, The World Health Organization analysed hundreds of thousands of car crashes and designed a body that could survive them all
During 6 months, artists and specialists worked on a 60 kg sculpture, called Graham, that gives a vivid image of how a person able to survive all this crashes would look like.
The sculpture has been placed in the state Library of Victoria, Australia. Interactive tools enable visitors to get more details on Graham’s legs, ribs and facial features
Technology implemented
A large database of car accidents has been thoroughly analysed to identify the kind of shocks Graham would have to withstand.
A 360° view of Graham is available on the Internet.
The museum is also equipped with interactive tools
