Overview

About

Maintained by Elvin CorderoCRAN page ↗

Tools for road-constrained, least-cost pedestrian evacuation modeling. The package provides reusable functions for preparing hazard zones, generating road-based evacuation origin points, identifying escape/safety points, creating slope-based conductance surfaces, calculating least-cost distance to safety, and converting distance outputs into evacuation-time polygons. It is designed to support workflows like tsunami evacuation modeling while remaining adaptable to other regions and hazards. Tsunami-specific helpers support separate land-only hazard zones, water-combined escape zones, road-aware escape boundaries, and study-area inset cropping for quality assurance and quality control. Methods build on Cordero et al. (2025) doi:10.1007/s44367-025-00018-y, Lewis (2021) doi:10.1007/s10816-021-09522-w, and Joseph Lewis's 'leastcostpath' package (2023) https://CRAN.R-project.org/package=leastcostpath.

Install

R (CRAN)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("evacpath", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-evacpath

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-evacpath

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-evacpath

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
