Prepare EDGE Transport Data for the REMIND model

R package edgeTransport, version 2.12.0

CRAN status R build status codecov r-universe

Purpose and Functionality

EDGE-T is a fork of the GCAM transport module https://jgcri.github.io/gcam-doc/energy.html#transportation with a high level of detail in its representation of technological and modal options. It is a partial equilibrium model with a nested multinomial logit structure and relies on the modified logit formulation. Most of the sources are not publicly available. PIK-internal users can find the sources in the distributed file system in the folder /p/projects/rd3mod/inputdata/sources/EDGE-Transport-Standalone.

Installation

For installation of the most recent package version an additional repository has to be added in R:

options(repos = c(CRAN = "@CRAN@", pik = "https://rse.pik-potsdam.de/r/packages"))

The additional repository can be made available permanently by adding the line above to a file called .Rprofile stored in the home folder of your system (Sys.glob("~") in R returns the home directory).

After that the most recent version of the package can be installed using install.packages:

install.packages("edgeTransport")

Package updates can be installed using update.packages (make sure that the additional repository has been added before running that command):

update.packages()

Tutorial

The package comes with a vignette describing the basic functionality of the package and how to use it. You can load it with the following command (the package needs to be installed):

vignette("EDGEtransport") # EnergyDemandGenerator-Transport Model (EDGE-T)
