You're speaking as if floating point representations of numbers have zero utility. One approach here could be numerical. An algorithm could work with vectors represented as floating points. Another approach, which depends on the relative angles and lengths of track pieces, may be to encode each piece as an (angle, distance^2) pair. Many angles can give us an exact distance^2 values.
