stop_distances: Calculate distances between a given set of stops

In tidytransit: Read, Validate, Analyze, and Map GTFS Feeds

Calculate distances between a given set of stops

Description

Calculate distances between a given set of stops

Usage

stop_distances(gtfs_stops)

Arguments

gtfs_stops

gtfs stops table either as data frame (with at least stop_id, stop_lon and stop_lat columns) or as sf object.

Value

Returns a data.frame with each row containing a pair of stop_ids (columns from_stop_id and to_stop_id) and the distance between them (in meters)

Note

The resulting data.frame has nrow(gtfs_stops)^2 rows, distances calculations among all stops for large feeds should be avoided

Examples

## Not run:

nyc <- read_gtfs(nyc_path)

nyc$stops %>%
  filter(stop_name == "Borough Hall") %>%
  stop_distances() %>%
  arrange(desc(distance))
