[R] x, y for point of intersection

[MacQueen, Don]

The function crossing.psp() in the spatstat package might be of use.
Here's an excerpt from its help page:

Crossing Points of Two Line Segment PatternsDescription:
Finds any crossing points between two line segment patterns.
Usage:
crossing.psp(A,B)
