What does Transport Ecology stand for?

Transport Ecology is the science examining the relations between humans, transport and the environment while also taking the various system and rebound effects into account. Thereby, it includes actual traffic activities as well as up- and downstream processes, like construction and maintenance of traffic infrastructure or vehicles’ production and disposal. Hence, it considers direct as well as indirect, short-term as well as long-term and local as well as global impacts.

Various research areas evolve out of it.
