'osrmr' is a wrapper around the OSRM API (https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/blob/master/docs/http.md). 'osrmr' works with API versions 4 and 5 and can handle servers that run locally as well as the osrm webserver.
You can install 'osrmr' from CRAN or github with:
install.packages("osrmr")
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ims-fhs/osrmr")Access the OSRM with R using the onlinehost (webserver) of OSRM to:
- generate coordinates from given coordinates, which are accessible by car with
nearest() - calculate waytimes and more for specific routes from start- to end-destination with
viaroute() - decode polylines using a polyline-specific precision with
decode_geom()
library(osrmr)
nearest(lat = 47, lng = 8, api_version = 5, localhost = FALSE)
#> lat lng
#> 1 47.00008 8.003016
viaroute(lat1 = 47.1, lng1 = 8.1, lat2 = 46.9, lng2 = 8.3, instructions = FALSE,
api_version = 5, localhost = FALSE)
#> [1] 2637.1

#> lat lng
#> 1 47.10020 8.09970
#> 2 47.10099 8.09952
#> 3 47.10161 8.10037
#> 4 47.10171 8.10066

#> 9 47.10430 8.10110- In order to use the localhost of OSRM you need a local build on your device. For more Information on the localhost see https://github.com/Project-OSRM/osrm-backend/wiki/Building-OSRM.
- When using the localhost it's recommended to set the path of your local build as environment variable.
