Excited to announce the release of {stplanr} v1.2.0, on CRAN and beyond 🎉
Key feature: new implementation of rnet_join(), allowing fast+flexible merging of route network datasets, leveraging {rsgeo} which has a fast (~1000x faster than {lwgeom}) #RustLang backend 🔥
Many people to thank for this release 🙏
It's been almost 8 years since {stplanr} v0.01 was released to support #DataScience tools for #Transportation planning. The first major use case was the Propensity to Cycle Tool 🚲 now publicly available at https://pct.bike
Special thanks to @josi for upstream work on {rsgeo} to support fast line splitting, needed for accurate joining of disparate linestrings. Work still underway on this, watch this space 🏗️ https://rsgeo.josiahparry.com
In fact, {stplanr} is the first package to build on {rsgeo} of packages in the main #rstats package repository. Won't be the last I suspect (and nudge re releasing a new version Josiah ; ) https://cran.r-project.org/package=rsgeo
