Overview

About

Maintained by Robin LovelaceFirst published 2015-11-0253 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

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.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)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.

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

# 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).
