The Forschungsbereich für Verkehrsplanung und Verkehrstechnik invited to an incredibly insightful seminar featuring Prof. Kenichi Soga from UC Berkeley. As the Director of the Berkeley Center for Smart Infrastructure, Prof. Soga shared groundbreaking insights into how data-informed systems can help us tackle the dual challenges of infrastructure deterioration and climate change.
Traditional design methods often fall short when long-term user behaviors, technological shifts, and environmental demands evolve. Prof. Soga convincingly argued that the future lies in closing the gap between measured asset behavior and actual service delivery.

This cutting-edge research is a perfect example of how combining engineering innovation with smart technology strengthens a resilient society and enables effective risk management. By transforming static infrastructure into adaptable, learning systems, we can better protect our communities from cascading failures and the increasingly severe impacts of climate change.
A huge thank you to Prof. Soga for bringing these inspiring perspectives from UC Berkeley to TU Wien. Many thanks also to Bingyu Zhao for organizing this inspiring event.

🌍 Student Experience Report

In September 2025, Denys Денис Кушнір took part in the Summer School at Saga University Mishima Laboratory, Saga Univ. in Japan 🇯🇵
Together with students from TU Wien and Saga, they worked on the preservation of historical architecture in the Prefecture - researching, discussing, and learning from each other across cultures.
“ We gained valuable knowledge and unforgettable experiences while working together internationally.”
