average multiple tracks of a feature to produce a single way

[pabs]

It would be nice to have a way to average two or more tracks mapping the same feature to produce a single way for upload to OpenStreetMap.

There is some code (written in R) to do the averaging here:

There is more info about this code here:

There is some proprietary software plus a paper about a more advanced method for doing that here:
