  The alignment defines three interconnected concepts:
  * Definition of a reference system for linear positioning.
  * Safeguarding and optimization of the movement of vehicles - kinematic perspective.
  * Geometric construction of roads, railway tracks or other linear infrastructure.
  
  An alignment is used to define a reference system to position elements mainly for linear construction works, 
  such as roads, rails, bridges, and others. The relative positioning along the alignment is defined by the linear referencing methodology.
  
  - Reference system for linear positioning -
  An alignment is used to define a reference system to position elements mainly for linear construction works, such as roads, rails, bridges, and others. 
  The relative positioning along the alignment is defined by the linear referencing methodology.
  
  - Kinematic perspective -
  In the kinematic perspective focus is on the safe and optimized movement of a vehicle 
  under the constraints induced by changes in the direction of the horizontal and the vertical layout.
  
  - Geometric perspective -
  In the geometric perspective the focus is on the proper placement of horizontal and vertical segments 
  to connect certain points along a proposed path. 
  A huge body of knowledge has been developed over a long period of time, 
  in many aspects predating the availability of modern computers and their software.
