STItoSTTDF: STI to STTDF with attributes computation
In trajectories: classes and methods for trajectory data

Description Usage Arguments Value Author(s) Examples

View source: R/STItoSTTDF.R

Converts a list of STI objects into a single STTDF object and computes some basic attributes of trajectory, including: distance, time lapsed, speed (km/h), change in elevation, change in moving direction between consecutive GPS points recorded. Also allows marking all attribute values with ID and trip.

1	STItoSTTDF(list, id = NA, trip = NA, elev = NA)

`list`	a list of STI objects.
`id`	A vector of IDs of GPS point record. If NA, numeric value "1" will be added as a dummy id for all GPS points. The length of the vector should be equal to the total number of GPS points in list.
`trip`	A vector of trip of GPS point record. If NA, numeric value "1" will be added as a dummy trip for all GPS points. The length of the vector should be equal to the total number of GPS points in list.
`elev`	A vector of levation of GPS point record. The length of the vector should be equal to the total number of GPS points in list.

sttdf return a single STTDF object with all attribute values stored in the data slot of STTDF object.
