[openrailwaymap] Re: France and European longest straight stretch of railway line

Hi, This is interesting. When tracking the trains, do you follow a position based on the one-dimensional railway coordinate system (position in hectometres) as well?

The system works better when the train moves on curved tracks with a low radius of curvature. Considering that the tracks are in a straight line when the radius of curvature is above a defined threshold (such as 10 km) has anyone tried to identify the France and European longest straight stretch of railway line from OpenRailwayMap data?
