gtfsrouter (version 0.0.5)

gtfs_timetable: gtfs_timetable

Description

Convert GTFS data into format able to be used to calculate routes.

Usage

gtfs_timetable(
  gtfs,
  day = NULL,
  date = NULL,
  route_pattern = NULL,
  quiet = FALSE
)

Value

The input data with an addition items, timetable, stations, and trips, containing data formatted for more efficient use with gtfs_route (see Note).

Arguments

gtfs

A set of GTFS data returned from extract_gtfs.

day

Day of the week on which to calculate route, either as an unambiguous string (so "tu" and "th" for Tuesday and Thursday), or a number between 1 = Sunday and 7 = Saturday. If not given, the current day will be used - unless the following 'date' parameter is give.

date

Some systems do not specify days of the week within their 'calendar' table; rather they provide full timetables for specified calendar dates via a 'calendar_date' table. Providing a date here as a single 8-digit number representing 'yyyymmdd' will filter the data to the specified date. Also the 'calendar' is scanned for services that operate on the selected date. Therefore also a merge of feeds that combine 'calendar' and 'calendar_dates' options is covered.

route_pattern

Using only those routes matching given pattern, for example, "^U" for routes starting with "U" (as commonly used for underground or subway routes. To negative the route_pattern -- that is, to include all routes except those matching the patter -- prepend the value with "!"; for example "!^U" with include all services except those starting with "U".

quiet

Set to TRUE to suppress screen messages (currently just regarding timetable construction).

Examples

berlin_gtfs_to_zip () # Write sample feed from Berlin, Germany to tempdir
f <- file.path (tempdir (), "vbb.zip") # name of feed
gtfs <- extract_gtfs (f)
from <- "Innsbrucker Platz" # U-bahn station, not "S"
to <- "Alexanderplatz"
start_time <- 12 * 3600 + 120 # 12:02
route <- gtfs_route (gtfs, from = from, to = to, start_time = start_time)

# Specify day of week
route <- gtfs_route (gtfs, from = from, to = to, start_time = start_time,
                     day = "Sunday")

# specify travel by "U" = underground only
route <- gtfs_route (gtfs, from = from, to = to, start_time = start_time,
                     day = "Sunday", route_pattern = "^U")
# specify travel by "S" = street-level only (not underground)
route <- gtfs_route (gtfs, from = from, to = to, start_time = start_time,
                     day = "Sunday", route_pattern = "^S")

# Route queries are generally faster if the GTFS data are pre-processed with
# `gtfs_timetable()`:
gt <- gtfs_timetable (gtfs, day = "Sunday", route_pattern = "^S")
route <- gtfs_route (gt, from = from, to = to, start_time = start_time)
