Please update this if you change to the code.

To use this code, manually load the shapefile into the QGIS interface

This code includes,

13.06.2020 - Create two new fields with date and time (Prasadi)

• Access the active layer
• Add new two colums to store time and Date
• Initiate a variable to hold the date and time values extracted from shape file and store extracted variables to a dictionary
• Use the created dictionary to update the field for all features (Now there are two new colums for date and time seperately)

14.06.2020 - Calculate the distance between two points (Prasadi)

• Store route identification codes in to a list
• Create empty lists to store UTM coordinates, track number and feature ID
• Select locations(points) of each route seperately and save their properties in to lists
• Calculate the euclidean distance between a point and its previous point
• Update distances to a new field
• Update to propagate the changes
• Clear lists before next iteration

19.06.2020 - Minor change (Jannis)

• Check existence of fields before adding new fields

02.07.2020 - Calculate descriptive statistics of Distance and threshold (Prasadi)

• Threshold=Mean-Variance

02.07.2020 - Extract values based on Distance (Prasadi)

Create new shapefile containing just low distance points (Jannis)

Extract landuse at selected locations (Prasadi)

Show results using a Pie chart and a Histogram (Prasadi)

19.07.2020 Changed colours of pie chart (Jannis)

• Unification
