'Webdriver'/'Selenium' Binary Manager

There are a number of binary files associated with the 'Webdriver'/'Selenium' project. This package provides functions to download these binaries and to manage processes involving them.

Setup and connect to 'OpenTripPlanner'

Setup and connect to 'OpenTripPlanner' (OTP) < http://www.opentripplanner.org/>. OTP is an open source platform for multi-modal and multi-agency journey planning written in 'Java'. The package allows you to manage a local version or connect to remote OTP server to find walking, cycling, driving, or transit routes. This package has been peer-reviewed by rOpenSci (v. 0.2.0.0).

A Binary Download Manager

Tools and functions for managing the download of binary files. Binary repositories are defined in 'YAML' format. Defining new pre-download, download and post-download templates allow additional repositories to be added.

Taxonomic Information from Around the Web

Interacts with a suite of web application programming interfaces (API) for taxonomic tasks, such as getting database specific taxonomic identifiers, verifying species names, getting taxonomic hierarchies, fetching downstream and upstream taxonomic names, getting taxonomic synonyms, converting scientific to common names and vice versa, and more. Some of the services supported include 'NCBI E-utilities' (< https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK25501/>), 'Encyclopedia of Life' (< https://eol.org/docs/what-is-eol/data-services>), 'Global Biodiversity Information Facility' (< https://techdocs.gbif.org/en/openapi/>), and many more. Links to the API documentation for other supported services are available in the documentation for their respective functions in this package.

Extract and Tidy Canadian 'Hydrometric' Data

Provides functions to access historical and real-time national 'hydrometric' data from Water Survey of Canada data sources and then applies tidy data principles.

R Interface to 'Apache Tika'

Extract text or metadata from over a thousand file types, using Apache Tika < https://tika.apache.org/>. Get either plain text or structured XHTML content.

Downloads and Organizes Financial Data from Yahoo Finance

Facilitates download of financial data from Yahoo Finance < https://finance.yahoo.com/>, a vast repository of stock price data across multiple financial exchanges. The package offers a local caching system and support for parallel computation.

Residuals from Partial Regressions

Creates a data frame with the residuals of partial regressions of the main explanatory variable and the variable of interest. This method follows the Frisch-Waugh-Lovell theorem, as explained in Lovell (2008) .

Sustainable Transport Planning

Tools for transport planning with an emphasis on spatial transport data and non-motorized modes. The package was originally developed to support the 'Propensity to Cycle Tool', a publicly available strategic cycle network planning tool (Lovelace et al. 2017) , but has since been extended to support public transport routing and accessibility analysis (Moreno-Monroy et al. 2017) and routing with locally hosted routing engines such as 'OSRM' (Lowans et al. 2023) . The main functions are for creating and manipulating geographic "desire lines" from origin-destination (OD) data (building on the 'od' package); calculating routes on the transport network locally and via interfaces to routing services such as < https://cyclestreets.net/> (Desjardins et al. 2021) ; and calculating route segment attributes such as bearing. The package implements the 'travel flow aggregration' method described in Morgan and Lovelace (2020) and the 'OD jittering' method described in Lovelace et al. (2022) . Further information on the package's aim and scope can be found in the vignettes and in a paper in the R Journal (Lovelace and Ellison 2018) , and in a paper outlining the landscape of open source software for geographic methods in transport planning (Lovelace, 2021) .

Interface to the Greek National Data Bank for Hydrometeorological Information

R interface to the Greek National Data Bank for Hydrological and Meteorological Information. It covers Hydroscope's data sources and provides functions to transliterate, translate and download them into tidy dataframes.
