Description

Create a filter index of a track for "bad" points with a combination of speed, distance and angle tests.

Usage

sda(x, smax, ang = c(15, 25), distlim = c(2.5, 5), pre = NULL)

Arguments

x
trip object
smax
maximum speed, in km/h
ang
minimum turning angle/s in degrees
distlim
maximum step lengths in km
pre
include this filter in the removal
