Railway technology
Gradient: In railway technology, the steepness of a slope is not measured in degrees but usually per mille. This means the height difference in 0/00 of horizontal distance. For example: if a destination is located at a distance of 100 metres higher, the gradient is 1000 0/00. The Brienz Rothorn Railway has an average gradient of 225 0/00 and a maximum gradient of 250 0/00. It masters these using the Abt rack system.
