Network Neighbourhoods

Algorithm for efficient identification of enclosed cyclic neighbourhoods within networks, and functions for aggregating neighbourhoods according to network properties.

Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods

One example application of the package is the automated identification of so-called “Low-Traffic Neighbourhoods” (LTNs), which can be identified through a dedicated function, ltns(). These are identified by first decomposing a network into its constituent “neighbourhoods” of enclosed polygons. The ltns() function then successively aggregates adjacent neighbourhoods according to various criteria useful for defining and identifying Low Traffic Neighbourhoods.
