gtfs2gps (development version)

  • Major changes
    • The package now requires R >= 4.1.0, because it uses the native pipe |>.
    • Fixed a bug in write_gtfs(), which ignored the overwrite argument and silently overwrote an existing file. With overwrite = FALSE it now raises an error of class gtfs2gps_file_exists_error if zipfile already exists.
    • gtfs_shapes_as_sf() now wraps gtfstools::convert_shapes_to_sf(). The crs argument transforms the shapes from WGS84 instead of relabelling their coordinates, and must be a valid CRS (NA is no longer accepted). The input is not modified. The result is a plain sf object (no longer also a data.table) with columns shape_id, geometry and length. shape_id must be character and shape_pt_sequence integer, as produced by read_gtfs().
    • Fixed two bugs in gtfs2gps() for shapes used by several trips:
      • Trips were silently dropped when a shape was shared by more than one route; only the first route’s trips were converted (e.g. 170 of the 348 trips in the bundled Berlin feed). All trips of a shape that have a route_id are now converted, each with its own route_type, and trip_number is the trip’s index among all trips of the shape.
      • Trips with a different stop pattern from the shape’s longest trip had their times attached to the wrong stops, and could gain stops they do not serve. Stops are now snapped separately for each distinct stop pattern on a shape.
  • Minor changes
    • gtfs2gps() is faster: speeds and timestamps between stops are now interpolated on plain vectors instead of per-segment data.table sub-assignments. Output is unchanged.
    • gtfs2gps(parallel = TRUE) no longer copies the whole feed to every worker: each worker receives only the trips, stop times, stops and geometry of the shapes it converts. This removes the “total size of the globals exported … exceeds the maximum allowed size” failure on large feeds (#277) and lowers memory use. Shapes are also no longer looked up by scanning the full trips and stop_times tables, which makes the sequential path somewhat faster too. Output is unchanged.
    • The report of shapes that failed with an internal error (with the code to reproduce it) now also works with parallel = TRUE; it was silently lost before.
    • A trip_id listed under two different shapes (invalid GTFS) is now converted once, with the first shape in trips, instead of once per shape.
    • write_gtfs() now validates its arguments, and its documentation gives the correct default of quiet (FALSE) and return value (the GTFS data, invisibly).
    • New dependency: {cli}, used for the new classed error in write_gtfs(). Existing messages will be migrated to it gradually.
    • Internal code that duplicated {gtfstools} was removed: the frequency expansion inside gtfs2gps() (unreachable since v2.1-1, when gtfstools::frequencies_to_stop_times() took over) and the R-level time parser, now gtfstools::convert_time_to_seconds(). No output change for well-formed H:MM:SS times. In gtfs2gps() and adjust_arrival_departure(), malformed time strings (e.g. "05:21", which used to parse to an arbitrary value) are now treated as missing.
    • adjust_arrival_departure() no longer modifies the input GTFS, works when arrival_time or departure_time is absent from stop_times, and returns a dt_gtfs object even for plain-list input.
    • filter_valid_stop_times() now drops any time that is not of the form H:MM:SS (e.g. "05:21", which used to be kept) and no longer re-formats the strings it keeps.
    • {gtfstools} >= 1.3.0 is now required.

gtfs2gps v2.1-2

CRAN release: 2024-10-08

  • Minor changes
    • puts package back on CRAN
    • remove {magrittr} from Suggests
    • Clarifies in the documentation the default behavior of the parameter ncores. closes #271. When parallel = FALSE, this argument is ignored. When parallel = TRUE, then by default the function uses all available cores minus one.

gtfs2gps v2.1-1

CRAN release: 2023-04-28

  • Major changes
    • Filter functions were removed from the package because gtftools alredy implements them
    • Function gtfs2gps now uses parallel = TRUE by default.
    • Function gtfs2gps now uses gtfstools::frequencies_to_stop_times() to convert. frequency-based GTFS feeds to stop times before processing the data.
  • Minor changes
    • New argument quiet to gtfs2gps()
    • Removed readr, pbapply, lwgeom and magrittr from package dependencies.

gtfs2gps v2.0-3

  • Minor changes
    • Saving units when using argument filepath in gtfs2gps().

gtfs2gps v2.0-1

CRAN release: 2022-03-05

  • Major changes
    • Imports gtfstools package.
  • Minor changes
    • Fixing CRAN error and warning related to the vignette.
    • The function adjust_speed() now does not change very low speed (1.000000e-12 [km/h]) because these values indicate a situation of a stopped vehicle. Closed 249.

gtfs2gps v2.0-1

CRAN release: 2022-03-05

  • Minor changes
    • gtfs2gps() now prints a message alerting if there are any trips with negative speed values in the output. Closes #172.
    • Fixing small bugs in the output of gtfs2gps().

gtfs2gps v2.0-0

CRAN release: 2022-02-22

  • Major changes
    • gtfs2gps() now creates two points for a stop when arrival and departure exist. Speed and travel time are now calculated considering both departure_ and arrival_time columns.
    • The travel statistics in the output table (speed, dist, cumdist, cumtime) for a given point are now calculated in relation to the previous point. More details in the documentation of the gtfs2gps() function.
    • Names of the output columns of gtfs2gps() were updated
    • New function adjust_arrival_departure() to allow users set a minimum time for dis/embarking times at each stop.
    • New function adjust_speed() to fix outlier speeds and replace missing speed values with a speed set by the user or the average speed of the system. The timestamp values are updated accordingly.
    • Fixing several small errors in the output of gtfs2gps(), what breaks compatibility with previous versions of the gtfs2gps package.
