This report provides a project overview and summary of the procurement process for the XXX Rail Grade Separation project,

The only resource I see is : projet de dénivellation ferroviaire. I have also seen the word "saute-mouton" but I rejected it.

Explanation:
Oui, exactement, c'est tout à fait ça ! Le "passage à niveau" est à la même hauteur il faut donc une "dénivellation"

disagree  Daryo: all we know for sure is that whatever is the other traffic flow it will not be on the same grade// "dénivellation" simply mean that the rails are "at a different level from the surrounding terrain", not that there is any junction / crossing.

disagree  FX Fraipont (X): dénivellation??? pente de la voie??? il s'agit de croisement de 2 voies à des niveaux différents.

agree  Glyn Williams: The "disagree" comments for this seem to take exception to "a difference in levels" not being a precise enough description but it is exactly what "grade separation" means.

Asker: Merci beaucoup. Je n'aurais pas dû rejeter "saute-mouton" juste parce que cela me semblait un peu naïf. Votre documentation est impeccable.

rail grade separation project
projet de croisement ferroviaire dénivelé / (de croisement dénivelé de voies)


Explanation:
Grade separation is a method of aligning a junction of two or more surface transport axes at different heights (grades) so that they will not disrupt the traffic flow on other transit routes when they cross each other. The composition of such transport axes does not have to be uniform; it can consist of a mixture of roads, footpaths, railways, canals, or airport runways. Bridges (or overpasses or flyovers), tunnels (or underpasses), or a combination of both can be built at a junction to achieve the needed grade separation.

In North America, a grade-separated junction may be referred to as a grade separation[1][2] or as an interchange – in contrast with an intersection, at-grade, a diamond crossing or a level crossing, which are not grade-separated.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grade_separation

"grade separation" means automaically there must be "un croisement" in the whole story

Un croisement dénivelé est une séparation des niveaux de circulation, comme un échangeur autoroutier.

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Croisement_dénivelé

La gare Montparnasse est organisée avec une structure classique des gares parisiennes : une
zone de réception grande ligne, une zone de départ grande lignes et une zone pour les trains de
banlieue au milieu. Avec la mise en service de la LGV jusqu’à Tours en 1989 un saut-de-mouton
(croisement dénivelé de voies) a été réalisé en avant gare permettant de dissocier les flux TGV
des autres circulations.

Grade separation is a process used to improve traffic flow at intersections and junctions. With grade separation design, each road or rail surface is placed at a different grade, or elevation. This difference in elevation is accomplished using tunnels, ramps, bridges and interchanges at every point where the two roads or rails cross one another. For example, an elevated train running above a roadway is considered an example of rail grade separation. An urban light rail system, where the train cars move with traffic at street level, is not grade separated.

IOW "rail grade separation" doesn't automatically mean that the other "grade" must also be a railway!

agree  GILOU
9 hrs
  -> Merci, Gilou !

disagree  B D Finch: Il s'agit de séparation (vertical) entre des voies pas entre des rails !! Il ne s'agit pas du tout de la largeur qui sépare les rails !
17 hrs
  -> Je comprends la largeur qui sépare les rails, donc la largeur des voies. Verticale ? Comment cela, verticale ?

disagree  FX Fraipont (X): la distance entre les rails est évidemment normalisée, et partout la même (dans le pays du moins). saute-mouton = croisement de voies à des hauteurs diffèrentes, comme dans un échangeur routier.
