R Documentation

Customize OSRM Graph for Multi-Level Dijkstra (MLD)

Description

Run the osrm-customize tool to customize a partitioned OSRM graph for the MLD pipeline. After running, a companion ⁠<base>.osrm.mldgr⁠ file must exist to confirm success.

Usage

osrm_customize(
  input_osrm,
  threads = 8L,
  verbosity = c("INFO", "NONE", "ERROR", "WARNING", "DEBUG"),
  segment_speed_file = NULL,
  turn_penalty_file = NULL,
  edge_weight_updates_over_factor = 0,
  parse_conditionals_from_now = 0,
  time_zone_file = NULL,
  quiet = FALSE,
  verbose = FALSE,
  spinner = TRUE,
  echo_cmd = FALSE
)

Arguments

`input_osrm`	A string. Path to a `.osrm.partition` file, the base path to the partitioned `.osrm` files (without extension), or a directory containing exactly one `.osrm.partition` file.
`threads`	An integer. Number of threads to use; default `8` (osrm-customize's default).
`verbosity`	A string. Log verbosity level passed to `-l/--verbosity` (one of `⁠"NONE","ERROR","WARNING","INFO","DEBUG"⁠`); default `"INFO"`.
`segment_speed_file`	A string or `NULL`. Path to nodeA,nodeB,speed CSV; default `NULL`.
`turn_penalty_file`	A string or `NULL`. Path to from_,to_,via_nodes,penalties CSV; default `NULL`.
`edge_weight_updates_over_factor`	A numeric. Factor threshold for logging large weight updates; default `0`.
`parse_conditionals_from_now`	A numeric. UTC timestamp from which to evaluate conditional turn restrictions; default `0`.
`time_zone_file`	A string or `NULL`. GeoJSON file with time zone boundaries; default `NULL`.
`quiet`	A logical. Master switch that suppresses package messages and process output when `TRUE`; default `FALSE`.
`verbose`	A logical. When `TRUE` and `quiet = FALSE`, streams stdout and stderr from the underlying `processx::run` calls.
`spinner`	A logical. When `TRUE` and `quiet = FALSE`, shows a spinner instead of live logs; default `TRUE`.
`echo_cmd`	A logical. When `TRUE` and `quiet = FALSE`, prints each command before running; default `FALSE`.

Value

An object of class osrm_job with the following elements:

osrm_job_artifact: The path to the customized .osrm.mldgr file.
osrm_working_dir: The directory containing all OSRM files.
logs: The processx::run result object.

Examples


if (identical(Sys.getenv("OSRM_EXAMPLES"), "true")) {
  install_dir <- osrm_install(
    version = "latest",
    path_action = "session",
    quiet = TRUE
  )

  # Partition then customize a graph for the MLD pipeline
  pbf_path <- system.file("extdata/cur.osm.pbf", package = "osrm.backend")
  osrm_dir <- file.path(tempdir(), paste0("osrm-", Sys.getpid()))
  dir.create(osrm_dir, recursive = TRUE)
  tmp_pbf <- file.path(osrm_dir, "cur.osm.pbf")
  file.copy(from = pbf_path, to = tmp_pbf, overwrite = TRUE)
  profile <- osrm_find_profile("car.lua")

  extract_job <- osrm_extract(
    input_osm = tmp_pbf,
    profile = profile,
    overwrite = TRUE,
    threads = 1L
  )
  partition_job <- osrm_partition(extract_job, threads = 1L)

  mld_graph <- osrm_customize(partition_job, threads = 1L, verbose = TRUE)
  mld_graph$osrm_job_artifact

  osrm_uninstall(
    dest_dir = install_dir,
    clear_path = TRUE,
    force = TRUE,
    quiet = TRUE
  )
  unlink(osrm_dir, recursive = TRUE)
}
