dissertation title
This is from the title of a dissertation mentioned in an obituary.
"Ein stochastisches Modell zur Verkehrsumlegung"
What I am wondering is whether I should write rerouting or just routing, i.e., should the English be as specific as the -um- in -umlegung or would it be more customary to use routing or planning cover the territory? (I am looking in Google in parallel as the job is urgent. Hope that is okay with you as an exception.)
Many thanks in advance.

I would say you need a "re" in there because it is obviously about changing something existing
It may even refer to a new road layout i.e. the introduction of a bypass etc.
To hedge your bets, if you haven't got the article, you could say "re-routing traffic".
For a tiotle itis however somewhat flat
Road layout redesign - maybe I'm extrapolating too much but seen from where I'm sitting...

Comment: "Thank you. 4 for speed and the "extrapolation," since it is not my field and the diss wasn't available (I needed a second opinion within the hour). SwissTell, thank you for jumping in, too! I think the many hits for traffic assignment probably come from IT, but only a few of the readers would have given it much thought."

traffic assignment
takes care of your "re" problem AND the ref. below also mentions your
stochastic thing ...
