You can have a look to this blog post on [Line simplification algorithms](https://martinfleischmann.net/line-simplification-algorithms/).
There you can find out that the `epsilon` value for `vw` is area-based and that the `epsilon` value for `rdp` is distance-based.

So if your source projection is in meters, than it is very likely that your `epsilon` value should be magnitudes larger than the examples on this page where the source projection is in degrees.
