In loreabad6/ftw: Explore Fietstelweek data for delimited study areas

Package development

To sum up, the package allows the user to download the Fietstelweek data from its server for 2015 and 2016, clip it to a smaller administrative area, wheter it is a municipality or a province, with the help of four new functions. All the functions are explained on a series of vignettes. Due to the large computation times, the examples are ommited.

It loads the data into R and facilitates its exploration considering four different methods: three standard methods: print, summary, and plot, and a new method: explore, for two new classes ftw_atmp when the data is loaded for one single year, and ftw_tmp when the data is loaded for both years.

The package checks without errors or warnings. It does include a note, regarding the size of the external and internal data included, however, it can be ignored.

Future work

The package allows for a quick exploration and familiarization with the Fietstelweek data. However, the data has a great potential regarding bike infrastructure and urban mobility analyses. Some future work regarding the development of this package could include:

• Further integration of the data between the network and the trips can be performed for larger analyses.
• Generation of shortest paths which can be compared with the actual routes the cyclists provided.
• Generation of origin-destination matrices which can allow an analysis of the transportation fluxes within the municipalities or provinces.
