German to English translations [PRO]
Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Traffic, transport

German term or phrase: Verkehrswissenschaft

The nature of the beast: The "-ology" relating to the (academic?) study of traffic/transport. I've found "transport economics" and "traffic" science" on the Web, both of which sound daft.

Any sensible ideas (backed up by references, of course)?
