)An object to connect with the R5 routing engine, created with
setup_r5().
Either a POINT sf object with WGS84 CRS, or a
data.frame containing the columns id, lon and lat.
A character vector. The transport modes allowed for access,
transfer and vehicle legs of the trips. Defaults to WALK. Please see
details for other options.
A character vector. The transport mode used after egress
from the last public transport. It can be either WALK, BICYCLE or
CAR. Defaults to WALK. Ignored when public transport is not used.
A POSIXct object. Please note that the departure
time only influences public transport legs. When working with public
transport networks, please check the calendar.txt within your GTFS feeds
for valid dates. Please see details for further information on how
datetimes are parsed.
An integer. The time window in minutes for which r5r
will calculate multiple travel time matrices departing each minute.
Defaults to 10 minutes. The function returns the result based on median
travel times. Please read the time window vignette for more details on its
usage vignette("time_window", package = "r5r")
A logical. Whether to include detailed information about
each trip in the output. If FALSE (the default), the output lists the
total time between each origin-destination pair and the routes used to
complete the trip for each minute of the specified time window. If TRUE,
the output includes the total access, waiting, in-vehicle and transfer
time of each trip. Please note that setting this parameter to TRUE makes
the function significantly slower.
An integer. The maximum walking time (in minutes) to
access and egress the transit network, to make transfers within the network
or to complete walk-only trips. Defaults to no restrictions (numeric value
of Inf), as long as max_trip_duration is respected. When routing
transit trips, the max time is considered separately for each leg (e.g. if
you set max_walk_time to 15, you could get trips with an up to 15 minutes
walk leg to reach transit and another up to 15 minutes walk leg to reach
the destination after leaving transit. In walk-only trips, whenever
max_walk_time differs from max_trip_duration, the lowest value is
considered.
An integer. The maximum cycling time (in minutes) to
access and egress the transit network, to make transfers within the network
or to complete bicycle-only trips. Defaults to no restrictions (numeric
value of Inf), as long as max_trip_duration is respected. When routing
transit trips, the max time is considered separately for each leg (e.g. if
you set max_bike_time to 15, you could get trips with an up to 15 minutes
cycle leg to reach transit and another up to 15 minutes cycle leg to reach
the destination after leaving transit. In bicycle-only trips, whenever
max_bike_time differs from max_trip_duration, the lowest value is
considered.
An integer. The maximum driving time (in minutes) to
access and egress the transit network. Defaults to no restrictions, as long
as max_trip_duration is respected. The max time is considered separately
for each leg (e.g. if you set max_car_time to 15 minutes, you could
potentially drive up to 15 minutes to reach transit, and up to another 15
minutes to reach the destination after leaving transit). Defaults to Inf,
no limit.
An integer. The maximum trip duration in minutes. Defaults to 120 minutes (2 hours).
A numeric. Average walk speed in km/h. Defaults to 3.6 km/h.
A numeric. Average cycling speed in km/h. Defaults to 12 km/h.
An integer. The maximum number of public transport rides allowed in the same trip. Defaults to 3.
An integer between 1 and 4. The maximum level of traffic stress that cyclists will tolerate. A value of 1 means cyclists will only travel through the quietest streets, while a value of 4 indicates cyclists can travel through any road. Defaults to 2. Please see details for more information.
An integer. The number of Monte Carlo draws to
perform per time window minute when calculating travel time matrices and
when estimating accessibility. Defaults to 5. This would mean 300 draws in
a 60-minute time window, for example. This parameter only affects the
results when the GTFS feeds contain a frequencies.txt table.
An integer. The number of threads to use when running the router in parallel. Defaults to use all available threads (Inf).
A logical. Whether to show R5 informative messages when
running the function. Defaults to FALSE (please note that in such case
R5 error messages are still shown). Setting verbose to TRUE shows
detailed output, which can be useful for debugging issues not caught by
r5r.
A logical. Whether to show a progress counter when running
the router. Defaults to FALSE. Only works when verbose is set to
FALSE, so the progress counter does not interfere with R5's output
messages. Setting progress to TRUE may impose a small penalty for
computation efficiency, because the progress counter must be synchronized
among all active threads.
Either NULL or a path to an existing directory. When not
NULL (the default), the function will write one .csv file with the
results for each origin in the specified directory. In such case, the
function returns the path specified in this parameter. This parameter is
particularly useful when running on memory-constrained settings because
writing the results directly to disk prevents r5r from loading them to
RAM memory.
A data.table with travel time estimates (in minutes) and the
routes used in each trip between origin and destination pairs, for each
minute of the specified time window. Each set of origin, destination and
departure minute can appear up to N times, where N is the number of Monte
Carlo draws specified in the function arguments (please note that this
only applies when the GTFS feeds that describe the transit network include
a frequencies table, otherwise only a single draw is performed). A pair is
completely absent from the final output if no trips could be completed in
any of the minutes of the time window. If for a single pair trips could be
completed in some of the minutes of the time window, but not for all of
them, the minutes in which trips couldn't be completed will have NA
travel time and routes used. If output_dir is not NULL, the function
returns the path specified in that parameter, in which the .csv files
containing the results are saved.
R5 allows for multiple combinations of transport modes. The options
include:
Transit modes: TRAM, SUBWAY, RAIL, BUS, FERRY, CABLE_CAR,
GONDOLA, FUNICULAR. The option TRANSIT automatically considers all
public transport modes available.
Non transit modes: WALK, BICYCLE, CAR, BICYCLE_RENT,
CAR_PARK.
When cycling is enabled in R5 (by passing the value BIKE to either
mode or mode_egress), setting max_lts will allow cycling only on
streets with a given level of danger/stress. Setting max_lts to 1, for
example, will allow cycling only on separated bicycle infrastructure or
low-traffic streets and routing will revert to walking when traversing any
links with LTS exceeding 1. Setting max_lts to 3 will allow cycling on
links with LTS 1, 2 or 3. Routing also reverts to walking if the street
segment is tagged as non-bikable in OSM (e.g. a staircase), independently of
the specified max LTS.
The default methodology for assigning LTS values to network edges is based on commonly tagged attributes of OSM ways. See more info about LTS in the original documentation of R5 from Conveyal at https://docs.conveyal.com/learn-more/traffic-stress. In summary:
LTS 1: Tolerable for children. This includes low-speed, low-volume streets, as well as those with separated bicycle facilities (such as parking-protected lanes or cycle tracks).
LTS 2: Tolerable for the mainstream adult population. This includes streets where cyclists have dedicated lanes and only have to interact with traffic at formal crossing.
LTS 3: Tolerable for "enthused and confident" cyclists. This includes streets which may involve close proximity to moderate- or high-speed vehicular traffic.
LTS 4: Tolerable only for "strong and fearless" cyclists. This includes streets where cyclists are required to mix with moderate- to high-speed vehicular traffic.
For advanced users, you can provide custom LTS values by adding a tag <key = "lts"> to the osm.pbf file.
r5r ignores the timezone attribute of datetime objects when parsing dates
and times, using the study area's timezone instead. For example, let's say
you are running some calculations using Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as your study
area. The datetime as.POSIXct("13-05-2019 14:00:00", format = "%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S") will be parsed as May 13th, 2019, 14:00h in
Rio's local time, as expected. But as.POSIXct("13-05-2019 14:00:00", format = "%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S", tz = "Europe/Paris") will also be parsed as
the exact same date and time in Rio's local time, perhaps surprisingly,
ignoring the timezone attribute.
The travel_time_matrix(), expanded_travel_time_matrix() and
accessibility() functions use an R5-specific extension to the RAPTOR
routing algorithm (see Conway et al., 2017). This RAPTOR extension uses a
systematic sample of one departure per minute over the time window set by the
user in the 'time_window' parameter. A detailed description of base RAPTOR
can be found in Delling et al (2015). However, whenever the user includes
transit fares inputs to these functions, they automatically switch to use an
R5-specific extension to the McRAPTOR routing algorithm.
