This repository generates data hosted in pct-data.
It was originally cloned from pct.
The main script on this repo is load.Rmd. This script runs the R code contained within while creating a summary of the data generating process. It even reports summary statistics from the data as it is created.
To run load.Rmd you should be able to simply hit 'Knit HTML' while loaded RStudio.
There are other dependencies, listed below.
The purpose of this repo is to build the data used by pct-shiny. To do this it creates new folders and creates files in pct-data. It relies on open data hosted on pct-bigdata.
Each of the these folder should be 'siblings' in the same folder. All of the folders needed to run the Propensity to Cycle Tool, and modify the input data it uses (e.g. to create new scenarios), can be created with the following shell commands:
# clone the pct data creation scripts
git clone [email protected]:npct/pct-load.git
# clone the data (warning - large)
git clone [email protected]:npct/pct-data.git --depth 1
# clone the shiny online visualisation framework
git clone [email protected]:npct/pct-shiny.git
# clone the national level input data
git clone [email protected]:npct/pct-bigdata.git The other dependencies are described below. If you have issues with any of these, please report them as an issue.
Some of the examples pull data from the CycleStreets.net API. Once you have a token, you can add it in Ubuntu as a session variable using the following in your terminal
echo "export CS_API_KEY='my_token'" >> ~/.profileor system wide variable
sudo echo "export CS_API_KEY='my_token'" > /etc/profile.d/cyclestreet.shThe version of gdal needs to be newer than 1.11
rgdal::getGDALVersionInfo()## [1] "GDAL 1.11.2, released 2015/02/10"
# Should return GDAL 1.11.2, released 2015/02/10 (or newer)It is possible to use the following Personal Package Archive (PPA) to get the latest version of gdal on Ubuntu.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable && sudo apt-get update
