Gradient

Line of a road measured by its incline or parallelism with regards to the horizontal plane. The gradient links the distance travelled between a distance's origin throughout the whole horizontal alignment, with an elevation above a certain comparison plane. Gradients are classified as follows depending on how the longitudinal inclination varies: - Uniform gradient: the inclination is constant. - Vertical agreement: between the entrance and exit tangents of the adjacent sections, the inclination varies with the distance.
