rnet_group: Assign segments in a route network to groups

In stplanr: Sustainable Transport Planning

Assign segments in a route network to groups

Description

This function assigns linestring features, many of which in an sf object can form route networks, into groups. By default, the function igraph::clusters() is used to determine group membership, but any ⁠igraph::cluster*()⁠ function can be used. See examples and the web page igraph.org/r/doc/communities.html for more information. From that web page, the following clustering functions are available:

Usage

rnet_group(rnet, ...)

## Default S3 method:
rnet_group(rnet, ...)

## S3 method for class 'sfc'
rnet_group(
  rnet,
  cluster_fun = igraph::clusters,
  d = NULL,
  as.undirected = TRUE,
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'sf'
rnet_group(
  rnet,
  cluster_fun = igraph::clusters,
  d = NULL,
  as.undirected = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

rnet	An sf, sfc, or sfNetwork object representing a route network.
...	Arguments passed to other methods.
cluster_fun	The clustering function to use. Various clustering functions are available in the igraph package. Default: igraph::clusters().
d	Optional distance variable used to classify segments that are close (within a certain distance specified by d) to each other but not necessarily touching
as.undirected	Coerce the graph created internally into an undirected graph with igraph::as.undirected()? TRUE by default, which enables use of a wider range of clutering functions.

Details

⁠cluster_edge_betweenness, cluster_fast_greedy, cluster_label_prop,⁠ ⁠cluster_leading_eigen, cluster_louvain, cluster_optimal, cluster_spinglass, cluster_walktrap⁠

Value

If the input rnet is an sf/sfc object, it returns an integer vector reporting the groups of each network element. If the input is an sfNetwork object, it returns an sfNetwork object with an extra column called rnet_group representing the groups of each network element. In the latter case, the connectivity of the spatial object is derived from the sfNetwork object.

Examples

rnet <- rnet_breakup_vertices(stplanr::osm_net_example)
rnet$group <- rnet_group(rnet)
plot(rnet["group"])
# mapview::mapview(rnet["group"])
rnet$group_25m <- rnet_group(rnet, d = 25)
plot(rnet["group_25m"])
rnet$group_walktrap <- rnet_group(rnet, igraph::cluster_walktrap)
plot(rnet["group_walktrap"])
rnet$group_louvain <- rnet_group(rnet, igraph::cluster_louvain)
plot(rnet["group_louvain"])
rnet$group_fast_greedy <- rnet_group(rnet, igraph::cluster_fast_greedy)
plot(rnet["group_fast_greedy"])
