Overview

About

Maintained by Robin LovelaceCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗rOpenSci review: issue 10 ↗

Tools for transport planning with an emphasis on spatial transport data and non-motorized modes. The package was originally developed to support the 'Propensity to Cycle Tool', a publicly available strategic cycle network planning tool (Lovelace et al. 2017) doi:10.5198/jtlu.2016.862, but has since been extended to support public transport routing and accessibility analysis (Moreno-Monroy et al. 2017) doi:10.1016/j.jtrangeo.2017.08.012 and routing with locally hosted routing engines such as 'OSRM' (Lowans et al. 2023) doi:10.1016/j.enconman.2023.117337. The main functions are for creating and manipulating geographic "desire lines" from origin-destination (OD) data (building on the 'od' package); calculating routes on the transport network locally and via interfaces to routing services such as https://cyclestreets.net/ (Desjardins et al. 2021) doi:10.1007/s11116-021-10197-1; and calculating route segment attributes such as bearing. The package implements the 'travel flow aggregration' method described in Morgan and Lovelace (2020) doi:10.1177/2399808320942779 and the 'OD jittering' method described in Lovelace et al. (2022) doi:10.32866/001c.33873. Further information on the package's aim and scope can be found in the vignettes and in a paper in the R Journal (Lovelace and Ellison 2018) doi:10.32614/RJ-2018-053, and in a paper outlining the landscape of open source software for geographic methods in transport planning (Lovelace, 2021) doi:10.1007/s10109-020-00342-2.

Changes in 1.2.3

Added wt_profile parameter passthrough to route_dodgr within the main route() function.
Made examples for rnet_group() conditional on the igraph package being installed.
General documentation updates.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

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

install.packages("stplanr", 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("ropensci/stplanr")

Development version from ropensci/stplanr. 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-stplanr

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-stplanr

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-stplanr

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.
