left_join based on closest LAT_LON in R

$
0
0

I am trying to find the ID of the closest LAT_LON in a data-frame with reference to my original data-frame. I have already figured this out by merging both data-frames on a unique identifier and the calculating the distance based on the distHaverSine function from geosphere. Now, I want to take step further and join the data-frames without the unique identifier and find ID the nearest LAT-LON. I ahve used the following code after merging:

v3 <-v2 %>% mutate(CTD = distHaversine(cbind(LON.x, LAT.x), cbind(LON.y, LAT.y)))

DATA:

loc <- data.frame(station = c('Baker Street','Bank'),
     lat = c(51.522236,51.5134047),
     lng = c(-0.157080, -0.08905843),
               postcode = c('NW1','EC3V'))
stop <- data.frame(station = c('Angel','Barbican','Barons Court','Bayswater'),
                lat = c(51.53253,51.520865,51.490281,51.51224),
                lng = c(-0.10579,-0.097758,-0.214340,-0.187569),
                postcode = c('EC1V','EC1A', 'W14', 'W2'))

As a final result I would like something like this:

df <- data.frame(loc = c('Baker Street','Bank','Baker Street','Bank','Baker Street','Bank','Baker 
        Street','Bank'), 
              stop = c('Angel','Barbican','Barons Court','Bayswater','Angel','Barbican','Barons Court','Bayswater'), 
              dist = c('x','x','x','x','x','x','x','x'), 
              lat = c(51.53253,51.520865,51.490281,51.51224,51.53253,51.520865,51.490281,51.51224), 
              lng = c(-0.10579,-0.097758,-0.214340,-0.187569,-0.10579,-0.097758,-0.214340,-0.187569),
              postcode = c('EC1V','EC1A', 'W14', 'W2','EC1V','EC1A', 'W14', 'W2')
              )

Any help is appreciated.Thanks
