Based on the input height data, the function returns the slope class between two consecutive bus stop positions of a LineString Simple Feature (transport model object). The slope is given by the ratio between the height difference and network distance from two consecutive public transport stops. The function classifies the slope into one of the seven categories available on the European Environmental Agency (EEA) database, which is -0.06, -0.04,-0.02, 0.00, 0.02, 0.04, and 0.06. The classifications is described in @details .

slope_class_europe_emep(tp_model, heightfile, keep = FALSE)

Arguments

tp_model

LineString Simple Feature; transport model output.

heightfile

character or raster data; The raster file with height data, or its filepath.

keep

A logical. Whether the columns related height and slope to the consecutive bus stops should be kept or dropped (defaults to FALSE, which keeps only the slope classification).

Value

The transport model with slope information.

Slopes classification:

| slope interval | slope class | | slope <= -0.070 | -0.06 | | slope > -0.070 & slope <= -0.050 | -0.06 | | slope > -0.050 & slope <= -0.030 | -0.04 | | slope > -0.030 & slope <= -0.010 | -0.02 | | slope > -0.010 & slope <= +0.010 | +0.00 | | slope > +0.010 & slope <= +0.030 | +0.02 | | slope > +0.030 & slope <= +0.050 | +0.04 | | slope > +0.050 & slope <= +0.070 | +0.06 | | slope > +0.070 | -0.06 |
