spopt

The spopt R package provides R-native implementations of spatial optimization algorithms for regionalization, facility location, route optimization, and corridor routing. Inspired by Python’s PySAL spopt, the package brings these algorithms to R users with an sf-first API, a Rust backend for graph and routing algorithms, and the HiGHS solver for facility location.

Install from r-universe:

install.packages('spopt', repos = c('https://walkerke.r-universe.dev', 'https://cloud.r-project.org'))

For developers who need to build from source (requires Rust), see CONTRIBUTING.md.

Support and how to learn more

If you find this project useful in your work and would like to ensure continued development of the package, you can provide support in the following ways:

• Chip in some funds to support package development via PayPal;
• Set up a consulting engagement or workshop through Walker Data to help you implement spopt in your project. Send a note to kyle@walker-data.com if you are interested;
• File an issue - or even better, a pull request - at https://github.com/walkerke/spopt-r/issues.

To stay on top of package updates / new features and to get information about trainings, be sure to sign up for the Walker Data mailing list here.
