get_shapes_df: Convert Shape Geometries to a GTFS Shapes Table

In GTFSwizard: Creating, Exploring, and Manipulating GTFS Files

Convert Shape Geometries to a GTFS Shapes Table

Description

Convert Shape Geometries to a GTFS Shapes Table

Usage

get_shapes_df(shape)

Arguments

shape

An 'sf' object with a 'shape_id' field and line geometries.

Details

Distances are geodesic approximations between consecutive coordinates. GTFS permits any consistent distance unit; this function uses meters.

Value

A tibble containing 'shape_id', WGS84 point coordinates, 'shape_pt_sequence', and cumulative 'shape_dist_traveled' in meters.
