Calculate distance from route network segments to roads

This function approximates the distance from the route network to the nearest road. It does this by first computing the sf::st_point_on_surface of the route network segments and then calculating the distance to the nearest road using the geos::geos_distance function.

Usage

distance_to_road(rnet, roads)

Arguments

rnet

The route network for which the distance to the road needs to be calculated.

roads

The road network to which the distance needs to be calculated.

Value

An sf object with the new column distance_to_road that contains the distance to the road.

Examples

osm = osm_edinburgh
cycle_network = get_cycling_network(osm)
driving_network = get_driving_network(osm)
edinburgh_cycle_with_distance = distance_to_road(cycle_network, driving_network)
