Dear Colleagues,
For pollutant emission estimation, the sinuosity and the gradient of
the road appear to be important parameters, and we would like to
charaterize a road or a road network through indicators describing
these 2 parameters.
Apart from the very local level for which degree of curvature and
gradient can be used, do you know if indicators exist (and for which
data would be available) at a more macroscopic scale (considering a
long distance road or even an area) that would enable characterizing
the sinuous and "flat / montaineous" characters of a road or a road
network (for instance the sum of the curvature / elevation per unit
of distance, etc.).
Thank you for any help in that way.
Best regards
