Which of the definitions below are you looking for?
"Road Gradient" is the rate of rise or fall of road level along its length. It is expressed either as the rate of rise or fall to the horizontal distance or as percentage rise or fall. In India usually, former practice is used.
"Floating Gradient" means on which a motor vehicle moving with a constant speed continues to descend with the same speed without any application of power brakes is called a floating gradient.
