For a more detailed analysis of an urban river corridor, corridor-level delineation may not be sufficient. The corridor needs to be subdivided into smaller morphological units. Segmentation is a process of subdividing the corridor by using major transversal road or rail infrastructure lines.
By default, the all-in-one function delineate_corridor()
includes the division of the corridor into segments. It is also possible
to use the delineate_segment() function to divide the
corridor in a separate step. To demonstrate this as a separate step, we
will use the built-in bucharest_corridor and
bucharest_streets as input.
segmented_corridor <- delineate_segments(bucharest_corridor, bucharest_streets)
