Description

Cycle Routing and Data for Cycling Advocacy.

An interface to the cycle routing/data services provided by 'CycleStreets', a not-for-profit social enterprise and advocacy organisation. The application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by 'CycleStreets' are documented at (<https://www.cyclestreets.net/api/>). The focus of this package is the journey planning API, which aims to emulate the routes taken by a knowledgeable cyclist. An innovative feature of the routing service of its provision of fastest, quietest and balanced profiles. These represent routes taken to minimise time, avoid traffic and compromise between the two, respectively.

cyclestreets

The goal of cyclestreets is to provide a simple R interface to the CycleStreets routing service.

It was split-out from stplanr for modularity.

Installation

You can install the released version of cyclestreets from CRAN with:

install.packages("cyclestreets")

Install the development version with devtools as follows:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("cyclestreets/cyclestreets-r")

Example

A common need is to get from A to B:

library ("cyclestreets")
# stplanr::geo_code ("leeds rail station") 
from = c(-1.544, 53.794)
# stplanr::geo_code ("leeds university") 
to = c(-1.551, 53.807)
r = cyclestreets::journey(from, to, "balanced")
sf:::plot.sf(r)
#> Warning: plotting the first 10 out of 43 attributes; use max.plot = 43 to plot
#> all

To get a key go to https://www.cyclestreets.net/api/apply/

Save the key as an environment varible using export CYCLESTREETS=your_key_here by adding CYCLESTREETS=your_key_here as a new line in your .Renviron file, e.g. with the following command:

usethis::edit_r_environ()

Check the map is good with leaflet:

library(leaflet)
p = colorNumeric("RdYlBu", domain = r$quietness, reverse = TRUE)
leaflet(r) %>% 
  addTiles() %>% 
  addPolylines(color = ~p(quietness), weight = 20, opacity = 0.9) %>% 
  addLegend(pal = p, values = ~quietness)

Or tmap, highlighting the recently added ‘quietness’ variable:

library(tmap)
tmap_mode("view")
tm_shape(r) + tm_lines("quietness", palette = "RdYlBu", lwd = 3)
#> The legacy packages maptools, rgdal, and rgeos, underpinning the sp package,
#> which was just loaded, will retire in October 2023.
#> Please refer to R-spatial evolution reports for details, especially
#> https://r-spatial.org/r/2023/05/15/evolution4.html.
#> It may be desirable to make the sf package available;
#> package maintainers should consider adding sf to Suggests:.
#> The sp package is now running under evolution status 2
#>      (status 2 uses the sf package in place of rgdal)
#> Breaking News: tmap 3.x is retiring. Please test v4, e.g. with
#> remotes::install_github('r-tmap/tmap')
#> tmap mode set to interactive viewing
#> Interactive map saved to /home/robin/github/cyclestreets/cyclestreets-r/m.html

See an interactive version of this map, showing all variables per segment, here.

Or mapview:

mapview::mapview(r)

Route types available are: fastest, quietest, balanced. See help pages such as ?journey and https://www.cyclestreets.net/api/ for details.

You can also get streets by LTN status.

network_ltns = ltns(r)
plot(network_ltns)
