Routing intermodal directions between locations based on the ‘HERE Intermodal Routing’ API.
In order to calculate route geometries (LINESTRING)
between pairs of points using the ‘HERE Intermodal Routing API’ the
function intermodal_route() is used. The function takes
origin and destination locations as sf objects containing
geometries of type POINT as input. Routes can be limited to
a maximum number of allowed transfers (includes mode changes and public
transit transfers), by specifying the transfer
parameter.
# Request routes
intermodal_routes <- route(
origin = poi[1:3, ],
destination = poi[4:6, ]
)The id column corresponds to the row of the input
locations (origin and destination) and the
rank column enumerates the alternative routes. The maximum
number of alternatives can be set by the results parameter.
Each row in the returned sf object corresponds to a route
section with a transport mode in a vehicle without a transfer.
