Until the 1980s, the sociology of traffic played the role of an auxiliary science for traffic geography. She was mainly concerned with providing behavioral data for traffic planning. Independently developed research work and socio-scientifically guided design recommendations for transport policy have only been the goal of this sociological work area since the 1990s.
