Italian term or phrase: in asse
Nelle verifiche, ovviamente, si è esaminata separatamente la percorribilità delle varie curve presenti
lungo il tracciato, valutando per ciascuna di esse i raggi di curvatura ___in asse___ e la larghezza apparente da considerare secondo il criterio esposto al punto precedente.

I'm considering two possibilities:
- "along the route" (of the river)
- "perpendicular to the axis" (of the river)

longitudinal / along the alignment
Explanation:
High only, because I don't have a lot of context.
"the longitudinal radii of curvature" "the radii of curvature along the alignment" If it is a river, then alignment won't do. The alignment is the centre line of a route for a road or a railway or whatever as plotted by a surveyor.
