Christian Kogler studied applied physics at the Graz University of Technology, where he focused on theoretical, computational and space physics. After he finished his study, he worked for the European Space Agency (ESA) in Rome, dealing with climate change and global temperature phenomena measured by satellite born instruments. Since 2011 Christian Kogler supports the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology, being responsible for the implementation of mobility and climate change related projects.

June 05: Technologically enhanced and accessible stations
Sustainable and resilient design of public transit environments
This presentation will highlight new insights into how the built and social environment affects human movement behaviour. At a study area in a railway station in Vienna, sensor technologies were integrated into a living lab setting along with various interventions to manage people movement. Additional studies were performed in an immersive virtual test environment. Based on data analysis, novel planning tools have been developed to simulate and predict crowd flows in order to increase walkability and to develop technologically-enhanced and responsive urban infrastructure for pedestrianized environments.
