Get trip segments' duration — get_trip_segment

Returns the duration of segments between stops of each specified trip_id.

get_trip_segment_duration(
  gtfs,
  trip_id = NULL,
  unit = "min",
  sort_sequence = FALSE
)

Arguments

gtfs: A GTFS object, as created by read_gtfs().
trip_id: A string vector including the trip_ids to have their segments' duration calculated. If NULL (the default) the function calculates the segments' duration of every trip_id in the GTFS.
unit: A string representing the time unit in which the duration is desired. One of "s" (seconds), "min" (minutes, the default), "h" (hours) or "d" (days).
sort_sequence: A logical specifying whether to sort timetables by stop_sequence. Defaults to FALSE, otherwise spec-compliant feeds, in which timetables points are already ordered by stop_sequence, would be penalized through longer processing times. Durations calculated from unordered timetables do not correctly depict the real life segment durations.

Value

A data.table containing the segments' duration of each specified trip.

Details

A trip segment is defined as the path between two subsequent stops in the same trip. The duration of a segment is defined as the time difference between its arrival time and its departure time, as specified in the stop_times file.

Examples

data_path <- system.file("extdata/spo_gtfs.zip", package = "gtfstools")

gtfs <- read_gtfs(data_path)

trip_segment_dur <- get_trip_segment_duration(gtfs)
head(trip_segment_dur)
