F-LAN is a geospatial data set that documents hundreds of coastal lights that guided ships around France from medieval times to 1929. F-LAN provides visibility range for individual lights. The authors collected all data from scholarly literature, historical coastal navigational charts, and official lighthouse surveys. F-LAN allows users to track the provision of coastal lighting over time. It complements the existing LAN dataset for England and Wales. Thanks to F-LAN it is now possible to map and analyse light coverage for France over two centuries. It can be used to analyse coastal routing, infrastructure investment and the relationship between accidents and the provision of light in any given area.
F-LAN是一个地理空间数据集，记录了从中世纪到1929年期间引导船只环绕法国航行的数百座沿海灯塔。F-LAN提供了各个灯塔的能见度范围。作者从学术文献、历史沿海航海图和官方灯塔调查中收集了所有数据。F-LAN允许用户追踪沿海照明设施随时间的变化情况。它补充了现有的英格兰和威尔士LAN数据集。多亏了F-LAN，现在可以绘制和分析两个多世纪以来法国的灯光覆盖情况。它可用于分析沿海航线、基础设施投资以及任何特定区域内事故与灯光设施之间的关系。
