roads: Road Network Projection
Iterative least cost path and minimum spanning tree methods for projecting forest road networks. The methods connect a set of target points to an existing road network using 'igraph' <https://igraph.org> to identify least cost routes. The cost of constructing a road segment between adjacent pixels is determined by a user supplied weight raster and a weight function; options include the average of adjacent weight raster values, and a function of the elevation differences between adjacent cells that penalizes steep grades. These road network projection methods are intended for integration into R workflows and modelling frameworks used for forecasting forest change, and can be applied over multiple time-steps without rebuilding a graph at each time-step.
