EPR4Q - End Point Rate for QGIS

The EPR4Q calculates the shift of two shoreline or coastline, rate and estimate the future position by End Point Rate equation (EPR).

* New version of EPR4Q 3.4.

How to install and run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suA84kJl5-c

Input parameters

Year be Simulate: Inform the year the EPR simulation will be run.

Year of Oldest Line: Insert the year of Oldest Line. Example: 1985.

Baseline Left: Insert a baseline in left side of the line of shore/coastline.

This baseline is a continuous parallel line and the two extremities need be a little more longer than the shoreline. This baseline can have more than one vertices point.

Space between point / Error: The spacing between transects in meters. 

Year of Newest Line: Choose the year of Newst Line. Example: 2019.

Newest Line: Insert the newest shore/coastalline in shapefile format.

Beach Angle: The Beach Angle parameter is a angle between 0 and 359 grades informing how be the angle of the graphical result.

Baseline Right: Insert a baseline in Right side of the line of shore/coastline.

This baseline is a continuous parallel line and the two extremities need be a little more longer than the shoreline. This baseline can have more than one vertices point.

Oldest Line: Insert the more old shore/coastalline in shapefile format.

Result Style Final: Set the Style of Result with .qml file.

Result Style - Left: Set the Style of Result with .qml file.

Result Style - Right: Set the Style of Result with .qml file.

Leftside Result: This shapefile have a graphical result that top of prism shows the last position in future of shoreline.

Rightside Result: This shapefile have a graphical result that top of prism shows the last position in future of shoreline.

Points: This shapefile shows the space between points. This result is just to see if have some error in analysis.

Newest Line: Shapefile with the distance between the position compare with baseline.

Oldest Line: Shapefile with the distance between the position compare with baseline.

Outputs

Leftside Result: This shapefile have a graphical result that top of prism shows the last position in future of shoreline.

Rightside Result: This shapefile have a graphical result that top of prism shows the last position in future of shoreline.

Points: This shapefile shows the space between points. This result is just to see if have some error in analysis.

Result: Shapefile with the distance between the position compare with baseline.

*- This version fixed a bug in EPR4Q of forecast result that included an additional value of transect length in forecast. To fix the values in old version, just subtract the field "Result" by the "DistDif". The values of rate are correct.
