The goal of covid19mobility is to make mobility data from different sources available using the Covid19R Project Data Format Standard. Currently, this package imports data from:

Installation

You can install the current version of covid19mobility from github with:

remotes::install_github("covid19r/covid19mobility")

Data Format

The covid19mobility library follows the Covid19R Project Data Format Standard, with some data sets holding extra data columns. To see what data is available, use get_info_covid19mobility()

library(covid19mobility)

get_info_covid19mobility() %>%
  dplyr::select(data_set_name, function_to_get_data, data_details) %>%
  knitr::kable()
data_set_name function_to_get_data data_details
covid19mobility_apple_country refresh_covid19mobility_apple_country Data reflects relative volume of directions requests compared to a baseline volume on January 13th, 2020 for multiple transportation modes aggregated at the country level.
covid19mobility_apple_subregion refresh_covid19mobility_apple_subregion Data reflects relative volume of directions requests compared to a baseline volume on January 13th, 2020 for multiple transportation modes aggregated at the subregion (state) level.
covid19mobility_apple_city refresh_covid19mobility_apple_city Data reflects relative volume of directions requests compared to a baseline volume on January 13th, 2020 for multiple transportation modes aggregated at the city level.
covid19mobility_google_country refresh_covid19mobility_google_country Changes for each day are compared to a baseline value for that day of the week as compared to the 5-week period Jan 3-Feb 6, 2020 for visits to places falling in to certain categories.
covid19mobility_google_subregions refresh_covid19mobility_google_subregions Changes for each day are compared to a baseline value for that day of the week as compared to the 5-week period Jan 3-Feb 6, 2020 for visits to places falling in to certain categories. Data is aggregated at the state or subdivision level.
covid19mobility_google_us_counties refresh_covid19mobility_google_us_counties Changes for each day are compared to a baseline value for that day of the week as compared to the 5-week period Jan 3-Feb 6, 2020 for visits to places falling in to certain categories. Data is aggregated at the county level for the USA only.

The refresh methods bring in the different data sets. Currently available are: * refresh_covid19mobility_apple_country() - Apple Mobility Data at the country level.
* refresh_covid19mobility_subregion() - Apple Mobility Data at the state/subregion level.
* refresh_covid19mobility_apple_city() - Apple Mobility Data at the city level. Contains some lat/longs for some cities. * refresh_covid19mobility_google_country() - Google Mobility Data at the country level.
* refresh_covid19mobility_google_subregions() - Google Mobility Data at the state/subregion level.
* refresh_covid19mobility_google_us_counties() - Google Mobility Data at the US county level with FIPS codes.
