Abstract
This paper formulates the random process of line-segments in the Euclidean plane. Under conditions more general than Poisson, expressions are obtained, for Borel A ⊂ R2, for the first moments of M(A), the number of segment mid-points in A; N(A), the number of segments which intersect with convex A; S(A), the total length within A of segments crossing A; and C(A) the number of segment-segment crossings within A. In the case of Poisson mid-points, the distribution of the rth nearest line-segment to a given point is found.
