Bay Area Flights 2019

The baflights19.R R Script is used to download the Bay Area flights data for 2019.

To test this download, change the variable num_months, at the top of the baflights19.R, to 1, to download one months of data.

You can source the baflights19.R file in the notebook or you can Source > Source as Local Job.

Warning: There are some open issues on the anyflights Github. As we experienced in class, some people were unable to get the code in the R Script to work. Seems there is a problem with unzip, gzip, and/or vroom. So at this point I have run the code on my machine and the data is available in the data subdirectory. For the Project you can start by reading in the data provided.

source("baflights19.R")

library(pacman)
p_load(tidyverse, nycflights13, tictoc)

The baflights19.R saves each tibble as an .Rds file in the data subdirectory. To lead the tibbles we use the read_rds function from the readr R package.

airlines_new <- read_rds("data/airlines.Rds")
airports_new <- read_rds("data/airports.Rds")
flights_new <- read_rds("data/flights.Rds")
planes_new <- read_rds("data/planes.Rds")
weather_new <- read_rds("data/weather.Rds")
