Create, Read, Write, and Work with 'iCalendar' Files, Calendars and Scheduling Data

Provides function to create, read, write, and work with 'iCalendar' files (which typically have '.ics' or '.ical' extensions), and the scheduling data, calendars and timelines of people, organisations and other entities that they represent. 'iCalendar' is an open standard for exchanging calendar and scheduling information between users and computers, described at < https://icalendar.org/>.

Import 'OpenStreetMap' Data as Simple Features or Spatial Objects

Download and import of 'OpenStreetMap' ('OSM') data as 'sf' or 'sp' objects. 'OSM' data are extracted from the 'Overpass' web server (< https://overpass-api.de/>) and processed with very fast 'C++' routines for return to 'R'.

Colors for all

Color palettes for all people, including those with color vision deficiency. Popular color palette series have been organized by type and have been scored on several properties such as color-blind-friendliness and fairness (i.e. do colors stand out equally?). Own palettes can also be loaded and analysed. Besides the common palette types (categorical, sequential, and diverging) it also includes cyclic and bivariate color palettes. Furthermore, a color for missing values is assigned to each palette.

Flexible Framework for Developing Spatial Interaction Models

Develop spatial interaction models (SIMs). SIMs predict the amount of interaction, for example number of trips per day, between geographic entities representing trip origins and destinations. Contains functions for creating origin-destination datasets from geographic input datasets and calculating movement between origin-destination pairs with constrained, production-constrained, and attraction-constrained models (Wilson 1979) .

Octonions and Quaternions

Quaternions and Octonions are four- and eight- dimensional extensions of the complex numbers. They are normed division algebras over the real numbers and find applications in spatial rotations (quaternions), and string theory and relativity (octonions). The quaternions are noncommutative and the octonions nonassociative. See the package vignette for more details.

Hinton Diagrams for 'ggplot2'

Provides a 'ggplot2' extension for drawing Hinton diagrams, a visualisation technique for numerical matrices in which the area of each square is proportional to the magnitude of the corresponding entry. For signed data, white squares indicate positive values and black squares indicate negative values on a grey background. Hinton diagrams are especially useful for visualising PCA weight matrices, correlation matrices, and transition matrices.

R Interface to the A/B Street Transport System Simulation Software

Provides functions to convert origin-destination data, represented as straight 'desire lines' in the 'sf' Simple Features class system, into JSON files that can be directly imported into A/B Street < https://www.abstreet.org>, a free and open source tool for simulating urban transport systems and scenarios of change .

The Free Algebra

The free algebra in R with non-commuting indeterminates. Uses 'disordR' discipline (Hankin, 2022, ). To cite the package in publications please use Hankin (2022) .

Cycle Routing and Data for Cycling Advocacy

An interface to the cycle routing/data services provided by 'CycleStreets', a not-for-profit social enterprise and advocacy organisation. The application programming interfaces (APIs) provided by 'CycleStreets' are documented at (< https://www.cyclestreets.net/api/>). The focus of this package is the journey planning API, which aims to emulate the routes taken by a knowledgeable cyclist. An innovative feature of the routing service of its provision of fastest, quietest and balanced profiles. These represent routes taken to minimise time, avoid traffic and compromise between the two, respectively.

Interface Between R and the OpenStreetMap-Based Routing Service OSRM

An interface between R and the 'OSRM' API. 'OSRM' is a routing service based on 'OpenStreetMap' data. See < https://project-osrm.org/> for more information. This package enables the computation of routes, trips, isochrones and travel distances matrices (travel time and kilometric distance).
