**r5r** is an `R` package for rapid realistic routing on multimodal transport
networks (walk, bike, public transport and car). It provides a simple and
friendly interface to R5, the [Rapid Realistic Routing on Real-world and Reimagined networks](https://github.com/conveyal/r5), the routing engine developed independently by [Conveyal](http://conveyal.com).
**r5r** is a simple way to run R5 locally, allowing `R` users to
generate detailed routing analysis or calculate travel time matrices and
accessibility using seamless parallel computing. See a detailed demonstration of
`r5r` in the [intro Vignette](https://ipeagit.github.io/r5r/articles/r5r.html).
More details about **r5r** can be found on the [package webpage](https://ipeagit.github.io/r5r/index.html) or on this [paper](
https://doi.org/10.32866/001c.21262). Over time, `r5r` might be expanded to
incorporate other functionality from R5.
This repository contains the `R` code (r-package folder) and the Java code
(java-api folder) that provides the interface to R5.
## Installation
You can install `r5r`:
```R
# from CRAN
install.packages("r5r")
# dev version with latest features
utils::remove.packages('r5r')
devtools::install_github("ipeaGIT/r5r", subdir = "r-package")
```
Please bear in mind that you need to have *Java Development Kit (JDK) 21* installed on your computer to use `r5r`. No worries, you don't have to pay for it. There are numerous open-source JDK implementations, any of which should work with `r5r`. If you don't already have a preferred JDK, we recommend [Adoptium/Eclipse Temurin](https://adoptium.net/). Other open-source JDK implementations include [Amazon Corretto](https://aws.amazon.com/corretto/), and [Oracle OpenJDK](https://jdk.java.net/21/). You only need to install one JDK.
The easiest way to install JDK is using the new [{rJavaEnv}](https://www.ekotov.pro/rJavaEnv/) package in R:
```R
# install.packages('rJavaEnv')
# check version of Java currently installed (if any)
rJavaEnv::java_check_version_rjava()
# install Java 21
rJavaEnv::java_quick_install(version = 21)
```
## Usage
The package has seven **fundamental functions**:
1. `setup_r5()`
* Downloads and stores locally an R5 Jar file (the Jar file is downloaded only
once per installation)
* Builds a multimodal transport network given (1) a OpenStreetMap street network in `.pbf`
format (*mandatory*), (2) one or more public transport networks in `GTFS.zip`
format (optional), and (3) elevation data in `raster.tif` (optional).
2. `accessibility()`
* Fast computation of access to opportunities. The function returns a
`data.table` with accessibility estimates for all origin points by transport
mode given a selected decay function. Multiple decay functions are available,
including step (cumulative opportunities), logistic, fixed exponential and
linear.
3. `travel_time_matrix()`
* Fast function that returns a simple `data.table` with travel time estimates
between one or multiple origin destination pairs.
4. `expanded_travel_time_matrix()`
* Calculates travel time matrices between origin destination pairs with
additional information such as routes used and total time disaggregated by access,
waiting, in-vehicle and transfer times.
5. `detailed_itineraries()`
* Returns a `data.frame sf LINESTRINGs` with one or multiple alternative routes
between one or multiple origin destination pairs. The data output brings
detailed information on transport mode, travel time, walk distance etc for
each trip segment.
6. `pareto_frontier()`
* Returns a `data.table` with the travel time and monetary cost of multiple
route alternatives for specified origin-destination pairs.
7. `isochrone()`
* Returns a `A POLYGON "sf" "data.frame"` showing the area that can be reached from an origin point at a given travel time limit.
obs. Most of these functions also allow users to account for monetary travel costs
when generating travel time matrices and accessibility estimates. More info on
how to consider monetary costs can be found in [this vignette](https://ipeagit.github.io/r5r/articles/fare_structure.html).
The package also includes a few **support functions**.
1. `street_network_to_sf()`
* Extract OpenStreetMap network in sf format from a `network.dat` file.
2. `transit_network_to_sf()`
* Extract transit network in sf format from a `network.dat` file.
3. `find_snap()`
* Find snapped locations of input points on street network.
4. `r5r_sitrep()`
* Generate a situation report to help debug eventual errors.
### Data requirements:
To use `r5r`, you will need:
- A road network data set from OpenStreetMap in `.pbf` format (*mandatory*)
- A public transport feed in `GTFS.zip` format (optional)
- A raster file of Digital Elevation Model data in `.tif` format (optional)
Here are a few places from where you can download these data sets:
- OpenStreetMap

- [geofabrik](https://download.geofabrik.de/) website
- [hot export tool](https://export.hotosm.org/) website

### Demonstration on sample data
See a detailed demonstration of `r5r` in this [intro Vignette](https://ipeagit.github.io/r5r/articles/r5r.html). To illustrate
functionality, the package includes a small sample data set of the public transport
and Open Street Map networks of Porto Alegre (Brazil). Three steps are required to
use `r5r`, as follows.
```R
# allocate RAM memory to Java **before** loading the {r5r} library
options(java.parameters = "-Xmx2G")
library(r5r)
# 1) build transport network, pointing to the path where OSM and GTFS data are stored
path <- system.file("extdata/poa", package = "r5r")
r5r_core <- setup_r5(data_path = path, verbose = FALSE)
# 2) load origin/destination points and set arguments
points <- read.csv(system.file("extdata/poa/poa_hexgrid.csv", package = "r5r"))
mode <- c("WALK", "TRANSIT")
max_walk_time <- 30 # minutes
max_trip_duration <- 60 # minutes
departure_datetime <- as.POSIXct("13-05-2019 14:00:00",
format = "%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S")
# 3.1) calculate a travel time matrix
ttm <- travel_time_matrix(r5r_core = r5r_core,
origins = points,
destinations = points,
mode = mode,
departure_datetime = departure_datetime,
max_walk_time = max_walk_time,
max_trip_duration = max_trip_duration)
# 3.2) or get detailed info on multiple alternative routes
det <- detailed_itineraries(r5r_core = r5r_core,
origins = points[370, ],
destinations = points[200, ],
mode = mode,
departure_datetime = departure_datetime,
max_walk_time = max_walk_time,
max_trip_duration = max_trip_duration,
shortest_path = FALSE,
drop_geometry = FALSE)
# 4) Calculate number of schools accessible within 20 minutes
access <- accessibility(r5r_core = r5r_core,
origins = points,
destinations = points,
opportunities_colname = "schools",
decay_function = "step",
cutoffs = 21,
mode = c("WALK", "TRANSIT"),
verbose = FALSE)
```
#### **Related packages**
There is a growing number of `R` packages with functionalities for transport
routing, analysis and planning more broadly. Here are few of theses packages.

- [hereR](https://github.com/munterfinger/hereR): an R interface to the HERE REST APIs
- [opentripplanner](https://github.com/ropensci/opentripplanner): OpenTripPlanner for R
- [stplanr](https://github.com/ropensci/stplanr): sustainable transport planning with R
The **r5r** package is particularly focused on fast multimodal transport routing
and accessibility. A key advantage of `r5r` is that is provides a simple and
friendly R interface to R5, one of the fastest and most robust routing
engines available.
