get_trip_speed: Get trip speed

In gtfstools: General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) Editing and Analysing Tools

Get trip speed

Description

Returns the speed of each specified trip_id, based on the geometry created from either the shapes or the stop_times file (or both).

Usage

get_trip_speed(
  gtfs,
  trip_id = NULL,
  file = "shapes",
  unit = "km/h",
  sort_sequence = FALSE
)

Arguments

gtfs	A GTFS object, as created by read_gtfs().
trip_id	A character vector including the trip_ids to have their speeds calculated. If NULL (the default), the function calculates the speed of every trip_id in the GTFS.
file	The file from which geometries should be generated, either shapes or stop_times (geometries are used to calculate the length of a trip). Defaults to shapes.
unit	A string representing the unit in which the speeds are desired. Either "km/h" (the default) or "m/s".
sort_sequence	Ultimately passed to get_trip_length(), a logical specifying whether to sort shapes and timetables by shape_pt_sequence and stop_sequence, respectively. Speeds calculated from trip trajectories generated with unordered sequences do not correctly depict the actual trip speeds. Defaults to FALSE, otherwise spec-compliant feeds, in which shape/timetables points are already ordered by shape_pt_sequence/stop_sequence, would be penalized through longer processing times.

Value

A data.table containing the duration of each specified trip and the file from which geometries were generated.

Details

Please check get_trip_geometry() documentation to understand how geometry generation differs depending on the chosen file.
