Overview

About

Maintained by Rafael H. M. PereiraFirst published 2020-09-1821 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Rapid realistic routing on multimodal transport networks (walk, bike, public transport and car) using 'R5', the Rapid Realistic Routing on Real-world and Reimagined networks engine https://github.com/conveyal/r5. The package allows users to generate detailed routing analysis or calculate travel time and monetary cost matrices using seamless parallel computing on top of the R5 Java machine. While R5 is developed by Conveyal, the package r5r is independently developed by a team at the Institute for Applied Economic Research (Ipea) with contributions from collaborators. Apart from the documentation in this package, users will find additional information on R5 documentation at https://docs.conveyal.com/. Although we try to keep new releases of r5r in synchrony with R5, the development of R5 follows Conveyal's independent update process. Hence, users should confirm the R5 version implied by the Conveyal user manual (see https://docs.conveyal.com/changelog) corresponds with the R5 version that r5r depends on. This version of r5r depends on R5 v7.1.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("r5r", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

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

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("ipeaGIT/r5r")

Development version from ipeaGIT/r5r. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

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-r5r

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

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-r5r

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

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