get_servicepattern: Identify Service Patterns in GTFS Data

In GTFSwizard: Exploring and Manipulating 'GTFS' Files

Identify Service Patterns in GTFS Data

Description

The 'get_servicepattern' function identifies and organizes unique service patterns within a 'wizardgtfs' object. It groups services by common dates of operation and assigns each a frequency-based pattern identifier.

Usage

get_servicepattern(gtfs)

Arguments

gtfs	A GTFS object, ideally of class 'wizardgtfs'. If not, it will be converted.

Details

The function first checks if the input 'gtfs' object is of class 'wizardgtfs'. If not, it converts it using 'as_wizardgtfs()'. It then groups services by common dates of operation, assigns a frequency to each unique pattern, and organizes these into service pattern identifiers, ordered by their frequency.

Value

A data frame containing unique service patterns with the following columns:

'service_id'

Unique identifier(s) for each service.

'service_pattern'

An identifier for each distinct service pattern based on operational dates, in the format "servicepattern-N".

'pattern_frequency'

The frequency of each service pattern, indicating the number of dates associated with that pattern.
